Thoughtful, Open Communicators

We've all been there. We need to talk, but we would rather not! Whether it's about performance, discipline, emotions, or the neighbor's dog, the struggle of what to say and how to say it weighs heavy. Utilizing principles and ideas from a variety of resources, we will look at the dynamics of what is involved in this kind of conversation, and explore practical ways to make them less stressful and more productive.

Through engaging activities and discussion, this workshop explores the keys to effective relationships, including effective listening, laying down our pretenses, vulnerability trust and the continuous learning cycle.  

These conversations are the key to getting things done and strengthening work relationships, yet they often miss the mark on both counts!  This training covers the 4 basic needs of every employee, and what you can do to best meet those needs through effective two way conversations.  

This intensive, two-day workshop provides participants with a robust and tactical implementation plan to fully integrate the 7 Habits into their lives. You will learn how to improve focus, communication, and balance for yourself and your organization; how to develop professional relationships for productive collaboration; the importance of responsibility, accountability, and commitment; skills for increasing productivity by staying focused on the right things; and how to reduce conflict by understanding exactly what you can influence. Cost is $95 and covers the Franklin Covey workbook.
