Building Trust: A Guide for Leaders and Team (1 day)
When trust breaks down within a team, a predictable downward spiral occurs, which wastes time and energy and diverts from the focus of the team.
"Building Trust" reveals the "Dozen Team Trustbusters" that can lead to distrust. Specific guidelines are offered to create trust and rebuild it if necessary.
Encouraging Excellence: Feedback and Coaching Skills
"Encouraging Excellence" delivers practical skills for giving and receiving feedback that will immediately make you a more effective leader, friend, or parent. It also gives participants insights into their own biases when observing and evaluating others.
Only when we understand how our judgments are affected by individual differences, "biased social accounting," the "halo effect," and power dynamics can we move towards a fair, objective process of helping people reach their potential.
Organizational Savvy
The Organizational Savvy model shows how power, ego, turf, ambition, integrity, self-promotion, hidden agendas, deception, "managing the airwaves," and relationships can impact your career and company.

- to prevent executive derailment or plateauing due to political "blindspots"
- to assist you in designing effective approaches to getting big ideas and projects implemented
- to equip ethical leaders with the skills of detecting deception, filtering information and figuring out who to trust and who not to trust
