WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING?
My mission is simple; to make you better at everything you do in life and business. Along with my associate and mentor, Dr. Linda Brown I’ve spent years developing a curriculum and series of training sessions thoughtfully designed to increase happiness and positivity as well as efficiency and productivity in office cultures of all shapes and sizes. With my background in public speaking and stand-up comedy I ensure that relevant and immediately applicable knowledge is presented in an engaging and entertaining way. The lessons you’ll learn through these trainings extend far beyond the office, however, and will help you achieve a quality of life you’ve only dreamt of.
How can I help you today?

TEAM BUILDING
From tenured teams who have been together for years to start ups and new hires, a company’s success is in direct proportion to the quality of its internal teamwork. Diversity is key to building a great team but has built-in roadblocks as well. Oftentimes we learn to ‘fake it until you make it’ which can be an effective way to make a habit of a thought or action, but true teamwork takes practice and a deeper understanding of how differences can complement and how similarities can complicate. More than just trust-falls and telling secrets; this workshop will enhance your team’s culture from the inside out.
Participants will:
* Understand the importance and value of diversity on a team
* Learn to manage expectations for and of new member assimilation to the group
* Gain knowledge of efficient and effective decision-making approaches
* And yes… participate in meaningful teambuilding exercises!
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The concept and value of Emotional Intelligence often referred to as EI or EQ has gained recognition and momentum in recent years and for good reason. To truly understand and control our own emotions as well as gain the ability to recognize, empathize, and influence the emotions of others is one of, if not THE most important skills one can possess. Developing this awareness, understanding the processes, and applying the EI skills are invaluable to every successful relationship. The workplace is the focus of this workshop, but the skills learned here reach far beyond the office.
Participants will:
* Understand biological origins of emotions
* Learn about subconscious motivations and their effect on emotions
* Gain the ability to empathize and relate to others in meaningful ways
* Deepen their relationships through sincere and honest communication
* Strengthen their leadership abilities and better understand group dynamics
GENERATIONS

LEADERSHIP
The success of an organization and it’s employees is derived from its leaders and their abilities to empower, support, teach, empathize, and grow those in their charge. Too often, however, internal promotions are given to those with great success in their current position and very little training is given to make the transition from individual contributor to leader. This practice can lead to diminished output from a staff, micromanagement leading to lowered morale, and a host of other opportunities for improvement. What makes a great leader? What characteristics to certain leaders possess that keep those in their charge loyal, focused, and motivated to perform? This workshop will answer those questions and provide the blueprint to truly successful leadership.
Participants will:
* Understand the differences between managers and leaders
* How to lead the 4 generations in the workplace
