Stress Management
Stress is a leading factor in illness and undermining
personal and organizational productivity. The relentless
requirement for employees to work at optimum performance takes
its toll in job satisfaction, employee turnover, reduced
efficiency, illness and even death. Absenteeism, illness,
alcoholism, poor decision-making, indifference, lack of
motivation and creativity are all by-products of an over
stressed workplace.
Organizations that want to get serious about negative stress by
empowering their people to address the stress issue in a
positive and proactive way will find this workshop invaluable.
The workshop uses the StressMap® stress assessment tool as the
foundation for designing coping strategies and behavior changes
to address the outcomes from the assessment.
The format allows individuals to learn coping skills to manage
their stress physically, behaviorally and emotionally. This
workshop helps participants explore sources of stress and
personal responses to them. The StressMap® pinpoints strengths
and vulnerabilities, detects burnout zones and helps chart new
strategies for enhancing personal health and overall
performance. The workshop includes an individual personal plan
of action to affect outcomes. The Stress Management one day
workshop has been proven to help individuals reduce stress in
their lives and better manage stressful job responsibilities.
Smart Meetings
We have all been to them – boring, unproductive, extra-long
meetings. Sometimes it seems that our businesses spend more time
meeting about work, than working!
Studies across North America back up what those in business
already know – bad meeting are constraining our effectiveness
and efficiency. A recent survey of the global firm 3M found that
as much as 50% of meeting were unproductive and a ‘waste’ of
time. Another study, conducted by the University of Southern
California, found that the average meeting has no written agenda
and completes its objective only 50% of the time.
Smart Meetings creates productive meetings that
increase engagement, cut meeting times and costs, and leverage
the intelligence of all participants.
The workshop will:
| - | Cut time spent in meetings by at least 20%, with no loss of productivity |
| - | Run meetings that engage and inspire all participants |
| - | Achieve meeting objectives each and every time |
| - | Turn meeting outcomes into an action plan that gets work done |
| - | Make more and better decisions |
| - | Increase participation, consensus and buy in |
Smart Meetings can be a half day or a full day that would include role playing and training.

Networking
Did you ever wonder why some people are more successful than
you? Why they always seem to get better deals, bigger
promotions, or just live a better life? This is especially
frustrating if you feel you are better qualified or have more
skills. Often you may be tempted to explain away their success
as simple luck or the result of being in the right place at the
right time. But, investigate a bit further and you will discover
that they possess a highly refined, well developed support
network.
In this workshop find out what they do, how they do it, and how
you too can learn and develop the skills of being a Master of
Networking. We will discuss why networking is the most effective
marketing tool today, how you can adopt the characteristics of
successful networking and demonstrate how you can model them in
your own daily behavior.

can enlist the support of others!
Become a Master Goal Setter
Mark Twain once said, “Everybody talks about the weather,
but nobody does anything about it!”
The same can be said about ‘success’. Everyone talks about it,
but few set any definite plans and goals to bring their success
to reality. Attaining the success you want in life - in every
area of life- requires more than day dreaming, desire and even
hard work. It requires the act of Goal Setting.
Becoming a Master Goal Setter explores the five facets necessary
to become a master goal setter – and in turn, shows you how to
become the master of your own destiny.
