Life Skills

Not sure why everyone doesn't see things your way? Clearly, if they did, everything would be much better. Sadly, each of us sees the world from different points of view.

This hilarious, interactive workshop identifies which "lens" you use to look at our world. More importantly, you'll learn how others see the exact same world. No matter what role you fill (leader, follower, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, parent, or child) you'll walk away with a whole new perspective on just about everyone around you. This work session will discuss and apply Agile leader concepts and apply 4 Lenses to leading, communicating, and negotiating as an agile leader and leading projects using SCRUM concepts.

Everyone believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth, and then in 1543 Copernicus blew everyone’s mind! Just like that, most people believe that only after they’re successful will they finally be happy. Based on recent discoveries in the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience, that formula for happiness is dead wrong. In fact, it’s COMPLETELY backwards. It turns out, happiness actually fuels success, not the other way around. When we become more positive, our brain becomes more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, healthier, resilient, and productive. It can be as easy as 20 seconds, but you’ll have to register to find out how.

Based on Shawn Achor’s book by the same title, and as taught in Harvard’s famed Happiness Course and to Fortune 500 companies worldwide.

Everyone has a best friend. Well, how did they get to be your best friend? You took the time to get to know each other. You found out that you shared common interests and points of view. You built trust and reliability over time. You remained loyal to each other when the going got tough. You probably provided alibis to throw off the cops!

What if you took the time to build the same relationship with the person that KNOCKS YOUR SOCKS OFF?!? It’s impossible to really know someone without investing the time in it, and marrying someone you hardly know is like joining the Marine Corps on an OPEN CONTRACT – who knows where you’ll end up! This workshop allows participants to eliminate the JERK(ETTE) before they have the keys to your heart… and base housing.

For the first time in history, there are four distinct generations in the workforce: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials…all with their own perspectives, styles, and expectations. Unfortunately, where there are differences, often there are conflicts. What if leaders could leverage the differences between generations instead of just eliminating conflict? In this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand and leverage the differences among generations.
• Resolve the Sticking Points that inevitably occur among generations’ differing perspectives, styles, and expectations.
• Motivate team members to volunteer their greatest contribution by engaging the whole person and giving space for generational differences to exist.

Trust isn’t a quality you either have or you don’t, it’s a learnable skill. Teams and organizations that operate with high trust significantly outperform those who do not cultivate trust at the core of their culture. Developing trust helps team members become energized and engaged. They collaborate more effectively, operate faster, and achieve sustainable results. The Speed of Trust Transformation Process™ is leverage that dramatically impacts business outcomes through changing the performance of individuals and teams. The Speed of Trust Transformation Process drives a scalable, simple methodology that easily guides individuals, leaders, and organizations to become explicit and deliberate about creating a high-trust, highly engaged culture focused on results.
