LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Everyone is a leader in some shape or form whether their job title reflects that or not.
You can be a leader in your family and your community, too.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
– John Quincy Adams

FIRST – you have to bust those assumptions that hold you and your team back!
THE GLASS IS HALF FULL: SHIFTING PERCEPTION TO ACHIEVE RESULTS
Participants will:
examine their thinking patterns and learn to look for opportunities rather than problems, strengths more than weaknesses, and what can be done instead of what can’t;
identify those areas where they react negatively and change the way they see themselves, others and situations practicing practical applications for higher performance.
Ignite Your Ideas (our most requested program)
We invite you to explore your creativity and move your ideas into action through intelligent risk taking with this in-depth program.
Many people don’t think they are creative. The truth is, we all are. We express our creativity in different ways. Frequently though, we don’t allow ourselves the time to let our creativity flow. We also let fear, lack of information, or the comfort of our current situation hold us back from taking risks and moving ideas or plans forward for innovative results.
In this content-rich program you will learn how to:
Develop an understanding of your creativity and risk-taking tendencies and improve on them through the Creatrix assessment.
Spur your creativity and consistently generate ideas and solutions.
Overcome your fears related to taking risks.
Analyze situations effectively and successfully move forward.
Unleash your creative side and assist others to create - a key competency for successful innovative organizations.
Plan your next steps to implement ideas and strategically move yourself and/or your company forward through innovation.
Effectively handle naysayers.
Solve problems.
