Do you ever feel like the price of performing at a high level and making a big impact in your field is living with a continual level of stress, pressure and overwhelm?  If you long to experience more passion meaning and joy in your work (and your life) without sacrificing your ability to get results, this presentation is for you.  You’ll come away with the insight necessary to break out of dynamics you wouldn’t otherwise be aware of so you can maximize your effectiveness, experience more joy in your work, and unearth Genius in yourself and your organization.

Key points include:

• How to recognize Genius in yourself and those you lead
• What factors cause Genius to be suppressed
• The five phases of transformation that bring Genius to the forefront

This workshop pairs nicely with copies of “The Pinocchio Principle: Becoming a Real Leader – How to Unleash Genius in Yourself and Those You Lead”

Regardless of background, career, organization, position, cultural origin or gender, the challenges that people often struggle most with are self-imposed.  The ways in which we unintentionally set traps that keep us from doing our best work are often hidden and easily missed.  The good news is that you can learn to sidestep them and replace your behavior with something more productive.

This workshop explores ten of the most common pitfalls leaders stumble into along with strategies for overcoming or avoiding them.

How can you unleash the true potential of your people? What are the best ways to help them recognize and break through performance barriers? How do you help others develop the motivation necessary to create and sustain change?

This workshop will give you the tools you need to help those you lead to perform at their very best.  You’ll learn:

• The do’s and don’ts of coaching and mentoring
• A tried and true method for giving constructive feedback
• How to help people develop an internal motivation for changing and sustaining their behavior
• The three most critical components of a development plan

Change is inevitable and unavoidable.  And it is an essential part of growth, both for individuals and organizations.  Whether self-initiated or externally imposed, the unforeseen twists, turns and challenges it brings have a way of pushing people to their limits and evoking anxiety, frustration, and overwhelm.  This presentation will help you reframe the way you look at change, challenge, and uncertainty so you can make the most of any situation and allow it to bring out your very best in a way that inspires others to do the same.

Key points include:

• The number one cause of derailed success in times of change and how you can bypass it
• Practical tips for accessing your inner genius and that of your team
• Methods for replacing fear and resistance with courage, confidence and capability

This workshop offers a transformative experience designed to help you rise above the daily demands of business to envision a desired future. Through a guided and interactive process, you will explore the power of conscious intentionality and heart-centered leadership as a competitive advantage.

You’ll learn to bridge analytical and intuitive processes to create a holistic approach to leadership and anticipate and sidestep potential obstacles. You’ll come away with practical processes that will benefit you both personally and professionally.  Specifically, you’ll learn to:

• Embrace the power of heart-centered leadership.
• Bridge analytical and intuitive processes to create a holistic approach to leadership.
• Recognize and defuse limiting beliefs and autopilot behaviors.
• Integrate what you’ve learned into your daily personal and professional life to maximize your success 

Are there people in your office (or your life) that drive you crazy because they insist on doing things so differently than you do?  Dealing with these differences can be tricky – treating others the way you’d like to be treated is a surefire recipe for frustration when one person’s preferences are another person’s irritations.

But what if there was a way to better understand people’s differing styles – and to leverage them so that instead of frustration, there was appreciation, collaboration and synergy?  This presentation will help you recognize your own unique style as well as that of others and provide concrete tips for working and communicating with others in ways that will allow you to connect, build trust and get more done together than you could separately.  You’ll learn:

• A model for predicting your own and others’ behavioral styles.
• Tips for working effectively with people of each style.
• An overview of the most common conflicts between people with differing styles and tips for effectively preventing and/or resolving conflict and leveraging differences.

This webinar pairs nicely with the Leveraging Your Style: DISC Behavioral Style Self-Study Program which includes an online assessment with lifetime on-demand access to just-in-time reference videos.

Ever wonder why it seems so much easier to communicate, work with, influence, or sell to some people and not others? Treating others the way you’d like to be treated works great when they have the same style you do. But when those you interact with prefer different ways of doing things, this approach falls short. The key to establishing strong partnerships with coworkers, peers, subordinates, bosses, customers, and anyone else you might deal with is in understanding and appreciating their unique styles and leveraging your differences to work together.

This three to four-hour assessment-based* workshop allows team members an opportunity to learn to understand and leverage the nuances of each of their styles and a chance to dialogue about what they need from each other and how they can best work together. Dynamics that were once irritating and too sensitive to address become amusing and enlightening, and team members gain a language they can use to work out their differences long after the workshop ends. More information can be found here.  This workshop pairs nicely with the Leveraging Your Style: DISC Behavioral Style Self-Study Program which provides training and review of critical concepts as needed on a just-in-time basis allows participants to refresh their memory and utilize tips for interacting with people of similar and different styles on a just in time basis

*  This program utilizes Target Training International’s highly researched and validated Success Insights DISC Behavioral Style Assessment, which yields a 20+ personalized report within minutes of completion.

This video-based version of the Communicating with Style DISC Behavioral Style Workshop allows individuals to learn the same information presented in the workshop via informative videos and audio that can be accessed via the internet anytime from any device.  In addition to including an individual TTI DISC Behavioral Style Assessment, the program includes:

Ever wonder what differentiates GREAT leaders from good ones?  Leadership is not reserved for people who hold fancy titles or have lots of people reporting to them – it is a talent anyone can exercise to bring out the best in themselves and everyone around them.  But the very best leaders have a core foundation of success that transcends the strategies and tactics many development programs teach.  While these surface level approaches are often beneficial, they will fall short of creating and sustaining desired results if the underlying true power of leadership is not developed and strengthened.

This workshop explores essential elements of leadership beneath the surface that create the core foundation for success.  You’ll gain insight into how the best leaders address their most significant leadership challenges and opportunities to achieve and sustain lasting results for, with and through others.  And you’ll learn seven powerful principles for leveraging the underlying dynamics that have the potential to skyrocket your success regardless of your title, role, or vocation.

This program blends a thirteen-week leadership development course with personalized and group coaching. It is designed to help high-achieving leaders break out of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and at the mercy of their environment and enter an optimal state where they can think more clearly, get more done in less time, access their best performance, and feel a greater sense of satisfaction and fulfillment with their work and lives overall.  Participants learn to recognize and move beyond the patterns and conditioning that keep them from their best work so they can bring more of who they truly are to what they do, build stronger relationships, make a greater impact, and lead others to do the same.

Each of the six modules of online training is accompanied by worksheets and journaling activities that will allow leaders to apply the concepts being covered in their own work and lives. Six bi-monthly ninety-minute Q & A group coaching meetings and a closing one-on-one coaching meeting will enable all participants to ask questions, share insights, and work through emerging challenges and opportunities.

Public sessions are offered periodically, and the program can also be brought in-house. To maximize interaction and individualized support, enrollment is limited to ten participants.  Additional information can be found here.

Have you ever set goals, targets or resolutions for yourself only to find that despite your ambition and enthusiasm, you ran out of steam, got derailed or overwhelmed, and lost your momentum?  Many of the things we are conditioned to do to achieve success actually get in the way of our success.  And there are three distinct practices that left unchecked can cause more damage than good.  A few small tweaks will keep that from happening.

This workshop will reveal three secrets that allow people to not only achieve their goals, visions and highest aspirations but to enjoy their lives in the process.  Applying these secrets in your own work and life will enable you to sustain success while feeling energized and enthusiastic about your endeavors. You’ll learn:

• How to tap into a source of fuel that is sustainable rather than depleting
• How to overcome the obstacles that tend to derail most people and lead them to quit before they succeed (and in some cases before they even start)
• How to avoid getting sucked right back into the habits and patterns that you are trying to rise above so you can embody the success you desire

Do you find yourself running around trying to get everything done and feeling like you just aren’t getting any traction? This workshop will help you understand why doing more doesn’t always result in achieving more and to give you some ideas and tools to help master the art of balance to powerfully impact performance. You’ll learn:

• The hidden pitfalls in people’s most common approaches to getting things done
• How to reframe your biggest, most daunting challenges in ways that set you up for success
• Powerful strategies for effectively and efficiently approaching, organizing and completing your work
• Simple methods for increasing your energy, clarity and focus so you can get more done with less effort

Growth in any field requires us to endure the messiness of being a beginner.  Most of us have been in positions where we’ve second guessed ourselves and talked ourselves out of our most promising opportunities.  Getting out of your comfort zone is more of an art than a science.

This workshop will help you take the steps you need to overcome resistance before it stops you.  You’ll learn:

• How to find the courage to step out of your comfort zone
• How to stay confident (even in the presence of people who intimidate you)
• How to overcome the beginner’s dilemma and cultivate the skill and experience to proficiently perform new tasks

Don’t let what appears to be a lack of upward mobility keep you from rising to the heights you are capable of achieving.  The very best performers look beyond seeming limitations to recognize and possibilities and act in ways that allow those visions to become real.  This workshop will show you how.  You’ll learn:

• The often-untapped superpower that will help you see beyond limitations that keep others from innovating
• How to position and differentiate yourself as a trusted advisor
• A powerful communication method for gaining support and influencing others to take action on your ideas

The reality is that most of us unintentionally get in our own way.  Yet we often remain oblivious to the dynamics that perpetuate the very thoughts and behaviors that keep us stuck.  This workshop will help you turn that around.  You’ll learn:

• Why the more you try to remove obstacles “out there”, the more you engrain them in yourself
• How to recognize and change a habit that is hurting you
• Proven methods for sustaining progress and anchoring change

When attempting to influence clients, colleagues, staff or other critical stakeholders, there is a chasm you’ll need to cross to get others to not only understand and agree with you, but also act.  The most widely used approaches to persuasion often lead to head nods and surface-level agreement that inevitably falls apart or fails to create lasting change.

This is because most people are inclined to shy away from the very approach that will win them the support they seek.  This presentation will give you the tools you need to not only create a strong case for action, but to ensure that your attempts to influence others lead to successful and sustainable outcomes.  You’ll learn:

• The three most common pitfalls executives fall into when advocating for change and how to avoid them
• A powerful approach for anticipating and minimizing resistance from others
• Four simple shifts you can make to have greater influence and better rapport with your customers, superiors, peers, employees and other constituents

* “From Agreement to Action” and “Now We’re Talking” can be combined to create a dynamic three-hour workshop.

Are your conversations moving you forward or backward? If you dread talking to people about sensitive or highly charged issues, you aren’t alone. This workshop will help you minimize the obstacles that get in the way of honest, open communication. You’ll learn:

• The most common pitfalls to effective communication and two simple approaches to communication that will allow you to sidestep them
• Four essential shifts you can make to better connect with others to surface and resolve important issues
• A simple and practical approach for reducing anxiety, anger and resistance and staying centered and calm
• A three-step process for working through communication challenges and building trust and mutual respect
