Workshop Descriptions
- Meetings That Don't Suck (or Creating & Running Effective Meetings): Are your meetings poorly attended, boring, nonproductive? Learn how to create productive meetings that people actually want to come to! A modest amount of time and attention devoted to meeting planning and good facilitation pays back with increased efficiency, a decrease in conflict, better decision-making, and greater group cohesion. We will not only discuss but practice techniques for agenda planning, meeting facilitation, and dealing with "difficult" people. Bring your examples of real-life challenges and go home with real tools you can use!
- Don't Work at It, Play With It! Does a current business or personal challenge have you stumped? Does your team need some new problem solving ideas? Do you fear that you are not "creative" enough? You can’t “think outside the box” if you don’t recognize what box you’re in! In this highly interactive workshop, we’ll play with a variety of improvisational, visual, and gamestorming techniques that foster creativity, innovation, and group connection. We might just come up with some new perspectives on your current challenge!
- How to Talk About Hot Topics Without Getting Burned: Have you ever put off initiating a conversation with an employee, colleague, or vendor who is underperforming? Have you watched as interpersonal conflict in the office got in the way of the work getting done? We are faced with difficult conversations everyday. Sometimes we postpone them in an attempt to avoid hurt feelings, and only make the situation worse. Come learn and practice strategies for facing these conversations with more ease and effectiveness.
