According to the evaluation forms, all participants rated the experience as excellent. People enjoyed the interaction and did not feel they were being talked at, they had fun!

  • I have just finished a detailed review of a job applicant that I ran through both the Everything DISC “workplace” and “sales” profiling process. Wow what a huge leap up in detail and data over the standard DISC 2.0 reports. A very impressive upgrade and well worth the extra money per report.

  • The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™ - Keynote or Training

    How do you help your team do better? Bringing together everyone’s personalities and preference to form a cohesive, productive team takes work, but the payoff can be huge – for individuals, the team and the organization. This process is as unique as your own team. It’s an assessment-based learning experience grounded in the model described in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, an internationally best-selling leadership fable by Patrick Lencioni. Through this program, participants will learn how, as a team, they score on the key components of the model: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. Additionally, the program is powered by Everything DiSC®, a model that helps individuals to understand themselves and others better. Using these results, participants will be able to create a better, stronger team.

  • Strategic Planning Pro-treat - Consultation

    A recent Gallup Poll survey sited U.S. executives consistently spend 39% of their time strategic thinking and planning. Strategic planning challenges leaders to learn from the past and assess current situations to plan for future success. During our pro-treat, leaders within an organization participate in an organized process to
    make decisions on strategies for moving forward and operating pro-actively for future success. To help with the successful implementation of the plan, quarterly reviews are held to discuss progress and results made on achieving the organization’s goals.

  • Bad Apples™: Coaching Difficult People & Attitudes - Training or Keynote

    Are you working with, serving, or even living with someone who has a bad attitude? Like the cliché “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch”, one person with a bad attitude can have a negative impact on the entire team! Just being
    around someone who complains, whines, or just doesn’t do or say anything can cause people to feel frustrated, angry, or even helpless. In fact, studies show that 68% of people (employees and customers) quit or leave a company because of one employee’s bad attitude. Bad attitudes in the workplace can deteriorate morale, lower productivity, and increase costs. It doesn’t take much for a co-worker, manager, or customer to feel the negative effects from someone with a bad attitude.
