Coming Soon
Power Tools for Women: Plugging into the Essential Skills for Work and Life published by Crown Business
A great guide to help women integrate work and home and transfer skills back and forth between these two domains. (Available February 2002) Preorders are now available at www.amazon.com.
Sample Topics:
Navigating Personal & Organizational Change: Up the Creek with a Paddle and a Motor
Ideally suited for groups of employees at the same level, this program can be tailored for all levels to address general or client-specific change. The program has proven beneficial in dealing with everyday life or workplace changes and can be adapted to a variety of audiences.
At some point in every person's life, change has wreaked havoc. Whether change is brought about as a result of technology, politics, cash-flow problems, an act of God or a deliberate decision, there exists a set of simple, logical steps which, when carefully taken, will bring about a successful transition. This program helps participants effectively manage personal change and teaches them how to introduce change to others in a non-threatening manner.
How change is introduced and managed has a critical influence on people's willingness to respond. In this highly interactive presentation, participants will be presented with models for transition along with ideas for planning change, recognizing and minimizing stress and resistance, monitoring the consequences of change, and creating a focus toward generating steps for success. Participants will achieve a practical understanding of the change process, its role in personal experience and in an organization, and the skills needed to effectively manage personal transition and organizational change.
Power Tools for Women: Plugging Into the Essential Skills for Work and Life
An upbeat, motivational address that can serve as a key address for women at any personal or professional level who want to tap into their own potential. Power up your ability to attain personal satisfaction and professional success.
Feeling like you're struggling to tap into your own potential -- whether at home or on the job? This energetic program will help charge up your personal and professional image. Learn and laugh your way to finding the interpersonal tools and strategies to access the power you already possess, and how you can transfer that power from the kitchen to the boardroom and back. Plug into greater success by learning how to power up your life.
Getting a Seat at the Table
A beneficial program for any manager or staff professional who seeks to gain influence and position as a valuable internal business partner.
Ask managers and staff professionals whose jobs include primarily administrative functions about their greatest frustration, and you will often hear that, like Rodney Dangerfield, they "get no respect." Because day-to-day responsibilities must often focus on immediate informational needs rather than on sales and marketing functions which are more likely considered valuable profit centers, these professionals may be perceived simply as administrators or "suppliers of services," rather than true internal partners. Only by clearly and consistently aligning your departmental objectives with organizational strategic goals can you change your image, enhance your status and gain the ears of the CEO and senior staff. This presentation provides proven strategies which, if employed in balance, will result in positioning the administrative manager and professional as a valued partner in strategic planning.
Accentuate the Positive: Overcoming the Fear of Rejection
An upbeat, motivational address that can serve as a key address for men, women and mixed groups at any personal or professional level.
Initiating interaction would be much easier if we could look into a crystal ball that would show us with whom we'd hit it off. While we cannot truly eliminate our concerns about being rejected by others, we can learn to control our anxiety so that it doesn't keep us from accomplishing our goals. Once people understand how they may obstruct their own success, they are able to change their approach and prevent barriers in the future. This presentation explores strategies for turning a skeptical or negative attitude into enthusiasm and optimism. Topics covered will include: self-image and self-esteem, signals of interest, getting others to open up, eliminating obstacles, reducing anxiety, managing personal energy, and tapping into one's unique personal power. The end result of this program is a more relaxed, optimistic and successful person!
4 Keys To Being a Great Motivator
Relevant at any management level, and equally beneficial in personal life. A terrific training tool!
Motivating others is the key to "getting things done through people." Usually the secret behind a truly productive environment is a great, insightful motivator. This energetic and fast-paced presentation draws on the findings of 11 motivational theories and illustrates how they can be applied to increase employees' motivation and productivity. Participants will walk away with strategies they can use immediately to encourage others as well as an understanding of how to avoid the behaviors that demotivate.
The Unformula for Success
A dynamic presentation delivered with energy and enthusiasm that can benefit audiences at any personal or professional level.
Do you find yourself eagerly combing the pages of journals and magazines for information, affirmation, challenge and guidance? You may have discovered that most articles offer simple formulaic "recipes for success," the theory being that if you follow the rules, you too will be happy and prosperous at life and work! This lively presentation illustrates the fallacy of the formulas and sound-byte strategies and offers a way to develop your own unique "unformula" for success!
Be the Bunny: Creating Your Own Energy
Applicable to any professional or personal project, this address will demonstrate methods for participants to find their own inner motivation.
Just what does it mean to be a self-starter? And once you get started, what keeps you going? Tapping into your own enthusiasm for a project and using that zeal to keep up the momentum is the topic of this program.
Say What You Mean: Pro-Active Communication and Technology
Important advice for everyone on the dangers inherent in one-way communication.
E-mail. Voice mail. Faxes. There are several quick and efficient ways to send messages these days. Unfortunately, one drawback is the absence of immediate feedback. During a conversation, positions that may seem harsh can be moderated, and remarks that are "taken the wrong way" can be explained. However, with electronic one-way communication, statements that may seem innocent enough to the author may appear inflammatory to the recipient. And in the "heat of the moment," people can commit comments to permanent record that, with a little reflection, they might have rephrased or even kept to themselves. Participants will learn to recognize unhealthy habits in their communications and ways to avoid potential conflicts, as well as tips on composing clear, concise and successful messages.
Stop Saying Yes: Achieving Balance without Sacrificing Your Goals
This seminar addresses the issues of balance and stress that are a daily dilemma for many professionals.
A recurring problem for many professionals is being "swamped," taking on more than they can reasonably handle at the moment, but still taking it on. While juggling the demands of career, home and family, one often can feel overwhelmed. But how do you say no to your boss, your customer, your spouse, your child? During this program, participants will learn different strategies that will help them to "stop saying yes" without being buried under clouds of guilt.
Take Humor Seriously, Please
Being able to see the lighter side of any situation breaks tension and releases stress, making it easier to handle an uncomfortable situation.
With all of the information out there on stress management, we sometimes forget one simple truth: humor is the knife that cuts the tension. Finding and using a sense of humor is an important stress-buster. The physical act of laughing relaxes all the muscles in your face, and laughter is an exhale, which is a way to release tension. But in addition to the physiological benefits, the ability to find humor in any situation translates into an ability to "take another step back," to keep some perspective. When you can find the humor in a bleak circumstance, you can also see things from a different angle. Learning how to recognize, and use, the inherent humor during difficult times can help everyone maintain a sense of balance and hope.
Getting Through: When Someone You Love has Alzheimer's
When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, the challenges seem overwhelming. This presentation provides emotional support and insights to help strengthen people during the care-giving journey. Informative, revealing, practical and sometimes humorous, this program highlights the resources and services that are available through the Alzheimer's Association. Contact the Alzheimer's Association, Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter directly, at 215-925-3220 for program information.
