SUMMARY:How to Create a Workplace Where People Like to Work
DESCRIPTION:Based on the book\, The Culture Question\, this workshop provides a guide for how every organization can become a great place to work. Workplace culture is the most significant factor that influences employee engagement\, work relationships\, and job satisfaction. Culture determines whether your organization will succeed – or even survive. It profoundly affects both the quality of the products or services you provide and the lives of those who work in your organization. The good news is that culture is something we can influence. By exploring six key elements that make up a healthy workplace culture\, participants will learn the answers to two fundamental questions: “How does your organization’s culture impact how much people like where they work?” and “What can leaders do to make it better?” \nPlease note: This workshop may be taught by one of the four authors of this book upon request. They are Randy Grieser\, Eric Stutzman\, Wendy Loewen\, and Michael Labun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nRecognize why a healthy culture is essential and a competitive advantage\nUnderstand the connection between culture and purpose\nImplement strategies for creating peak performing teams\nIncorporate key ideas for creating and sustaining a healthy workplace culture\nFollow a framework to change and maintain culture\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study examples\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically. \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nThe Case for Caring About Culture\nCulture’s Impact on Employee Engagement\nHow to Define Purpose and Values\nCommunicating Your Purpose and Values\nProviding Meaningful Work\nPractical Ways to Make Work More Meaningful\nFocusing Your Leadership Team on People\nDirective Versus Empowering Leadership\nWhy Meaningful Relationships Matter\nHow to Foster Meaningful Relationships\nCreating Peak Performing Teams\nFoster Identification and Facilitate Interdependence\nPracticing Constructive Conflict Management\nKey’s to Transforming Conflict\nHow to Change Culture\nCultural Health Assessment Questionnaire\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an intermediate-advanced level workshop for leaders\, managers\, supervisors\, human resource personnel\, and anyone who influences culture in the workplace. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Randy Grieser\nFounder & Advisor\nRandy (he/him) is the founder\, former CEO\, and current Advisor of ACHIEVE Centre for Leadership.

SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people have trouble being effective in their roles or working well with others? It is usually not because they lack skills; rather\, it is often because they lack emotional intelligence.

Emotionally intelligent people are able to identify and assess their emotions and those of others\, and then use that information to guide their actions and influence the actions of others. This workshop reviews how to utilize emotional intelligence more effectively through self-assessment and skill development exercises. Participants will learn strategies that will increase their ability to engage with others and expand their influence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the concept of emotional intelligence\, and explain why it matters and how to develop it\nExplain how their influence is connected to their emotional intelligence\nRecognize and master their own emotions\nIdentify and respond to the emotions of others with intelligence\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study exercises\, experiential practice\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nKey Aspects of Emotional Intelligence\nWhy Emotional Intelligence Matters\nThe Emotional Culture of Your Workplace\nEmotional Intelligence Self-Assessment\nKnowing and Mastering Your Emotions\nRecognizing Others’ Emotions\nInfluencing Others’ Emotions\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an introductory-intermediate level workshop. \n\n\nTerms & Conditions\nView our cancellation policy and other information regarding your live virtual workshop or for your in-person workshop. \nThis is a live virtual event\, please check your system requirements prior to registering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Dan Doerksen\nDan is a communicator\, leader\, strategist\, and perpetual learner who focuses his curiosity and energy towards helping individuals and organizations thrive.
