Individual Development

Being Your Best:
 
Demonstrate motivation and responsibility through self-awareness and personal choice.

Getting Along with Others:  Exhibit behaviors that enhance interpersonal communication and collaboration.

Contributing to Your Company's Success:  Create work performance results by connecting the "big picture" with the "bottom line".

Integrating What You Do with Who You Are:  Explore the multi-dimensions of self-awareness that enhance job and career development.

Empowering Yourself to Lead: Becoming accountable for performance results, facilitating change, and coaching others to succeed.


Group Development 

Clarifying Expectations to Facilitate Change and Improve Performance: Often the sense of needing to do more with less, low morale, or decreased productivity is a consequence of inadequate communication, misunderstandings, and unclear or conflicting expectations.  Learn how to clarify and respond to stakeholder and customer expectations, use awareness and communication techniques to address stress, manage time, and facilitate actionable change to achieve performance outcomes.

Coaching Yourself for Improved Performance:  Learn a self-directed and peer-reinforced process to demonstrate responsibility and accountability for on-the-job performance; achieve and maintain productive interpersonal relationships; and commit to organizational goals through improved performance.


Organizational Development

Strategic and Operational Planning Process: Engage stakeholders in developing a collaborative business partner and customer-focused approach to aligning your organization's vision and mission, core competencies, growth opportunities, and performance goals.

Implementing a Role-Focused and Competency-Based Approach to Performance Management: Move from vague job descriptions and inconsistent evaluations to a focus on achieving strategic outcomes and results by clarifying who has expectations of whom about what by when.

Transferring Organization Wisdom:  Capture and communicate subject-matter-expertise through a mentor-focused approach that enables self-directed learning and development.
