Getting More Life Out of Your Time
“Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” - Peter F. Drucker
Make time for time management and it will be the best investment you will ever make. Rather than focus on 'tools', we focus on the essential 'habits' and 'attitudes' you need to make the most of your time. Increase personal productivity and 'get more life out of your time'.
Using the Time Mastery Profile, produced by John Wile & Sons, Inc., you will examine how you currently use your time in 12 critical areas and you will take home personalized, customized time management strategies to conquer procrastination, master paperwork, establish clear goals, and much more.

Managing the Opportunities Provided by Conflict
Conflict is natural, and, if embraced, it has an untapped potential for igniting innovative change. If ignored or handled incorrectly, conflict can unleash a destructive force within your organization. Worry not! Wherever you are in the conflict cycle, it’s never too late to affect change.

The course features an exploration of DiSC® in a conflict context, provides an opportunity for you to explore destructive conflict responses, and offers a method for making more productive choices in response to conflict.
Learn to:
- Appreciate how your style of handling conflict affects the people around you
- Learn how to “catch” yourself when going down a destructive conflict path
- Learn how to reframe a conflict situation and choose more productive behaviors

Team Building and Team Dimensions
When asked, 99% of workers respond they are “effective” team members.
Yet, 2/3 of teams rarely offer constructive feedback to one another or question each other about their approach to work. Further, 4 of 5 people report that their team members are not willing to acknowledge their weaknesses to others. Additionally, 55% typically leave a team meeting without everyone committing to agreed-upon decisions.
In this course we discuss a solution to this problem. We will use a model that harnesses the power of Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and adjust it to benefit individual participants, who can then disperse the key takeaways throughout their organization. Our goal is to completely redefine teamwork and collaboration in an organization.
Today’s organizations are working beyond a single team. Advances in technology are disrupting the market, globalization is forcing a new approach to working, and the teams of the future have never seen this level of diversity. Organizations need to equip their employees to quickly create cohesive teams that enable results. Learners at all levels of an organization can benefit from this course and adopt its powerful principles, shape behaviors, and create a common language that empowers people to rewrite what it means to work together.
