COMPANY-WIDE SUPPORT

Collaborative Communication: Up, Down, and Across Teams

half day workshop

Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

Get in touch

While communication is fundamentally understood to be important within an organization, it's often looked at through the lens of being efficient, persuasive, or clear. Collaborative communication fosters healthy company culture, creative problem solving, and innovation within an organization through
  1. Shared and agreed-upon goals
  2. Valuing and understanding alternative perspectives from ones' own, and 
  3. Reaching a mutually beneficial conclusion.

Collaborative communication benefits all levels of an organization: Leaders communicate with empathy and respect for their reports, creating more trust and buy-in. And employees and staff give visibility to their in-the-trenches perspective, while surfacing invaluable real-time feedback of an organization's internal health.

Learner Outcomes:
  1. The participants will be able to communicate their understanding of another person's perspective.
  2. The participants will be able to share their perspective in a way that is clear, non-combative, and compelling.
  3. The participants will know how to navigate the differences between communication upstream, downstream, and across teams.

Get in touch

People who know how to meet their own needs can better meet the needs of the organizations they work for! This workshop, geared towards (but not exclusively for) women poised for or in early leadership, posits that all effective and healthy leaders
  • Have the ability to recognize and meet their own needs 
  • Communicate their goals, expertise, and perspectives clearly, and
  • Set appropriate boundaries and expectations.

The skills in this workshop cross the work-life barrier to shift mindsets towards empowered, confident leadership. Practical strategies, conversation role play, and self-assessments show participants how to step into leadership roles by acknowledging their skills, contributions, and accomplishments. 

Learner Outcomes:
  1. The participants will be able to clearly communicate their needs and desires.
  2. The participants will be able to create and hold boundaries with situations that try to pull them back to their current level
  3. The participants will acknowledge and communicate their expertise, skills, and contributions in a way that is clear and compelling.

Leaders Who Innovate: Creating a Culture of Forward-Thinking

half day workshop

Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

Get in touch

The best and brightest minds in any industry will fail to innovate without an organizational culture that makes it safe and preferrable to think outside the box. The degree to which an organization can innovate is determined by its leaders' ability to
  • Foster creative thinking
  • Communicate a clear vision for the future, and 
  • Cultivate collaboration amongst teams.

Bringing out the best in a team or organization means creating an environment that is open to diverse perspectives, tolerant of appropriate risks and failure, and creative, rather than reactive. This top-down workshop shows leaders how to nurture such a company culture.

Learner Outcomes:
  1. The participants will be able to gauge and improve the readiness of a team or individual for creative thinking.
  2. The participants will be able to clearly communicate vision and secure buy-in.
  3. The participants will have practical skills to draw out innovative ideas and thoughtful feedback.
