Personal Development

WorkSmarts
This program provides participants the opportunity to explore and enhance their skills in areas that will positively impact their work environment: be positive and proactive, be accountable and flexible, be cooperative and respectful and communicate and actively listen. (4 or 7 hours)

Start Right, Stay Right
This program teaches 24 behaviors critical to employee and organizational success. The behaviors are divided into four training categories: You and Your Mindset, You and Your Co-Workers, You and Your Supervisor or Manager and You and the Organization. (8 hours)

Speaking Effectively to One or One Thousand
Participants will learn what causes public speaking fear and how to avoid it, the roles of appearance and body language, and how to most effectively communicate their message. (2 hours)

Time Challenged
At the core of this training is the fact that we all get the same 24 hours a day, but how we use those hours greatly impacts our success or failure. Participants will learn how to identify and take responsibility for timemanagement concerns, set goals, and prioritize tasks. (4 hours)

Employability Skills
Participants will understand the basic skills needed at any job, understand why a positive attitude, initiative and enthusiasm are necessary in any position, understand the importance of time management and goal setting, and understand the importance of decision making in the workplace. (1 hour)

The Art of Interviewing
Participants in this class will learn how to prepare for typical interview questions, understand the importance of the first impression, identify common interview blunders, learn what their body language says, and learn how to establish rapport with the interviewer. (1 hour)

Developing a Professional Image
Participants will understand the importance of first impressions, understand that perceptions do matter, identify the “do’s and don’ts” of business attire, and learn how to positively represent the brand of their
organization. (1 hour)

Business Communication
Participants will understand the three types of verbal communications: passive, aggressive, and assertive, understand the importance of nonverbal communication, and clear, concise written communications. (1 hour)

FISH!
The FISH! philosophy is a lifelong learning approach that inspires us to feel alive and engaged in the work we do. It is an invitation to re-awaken the self-trusting, creative spirit within all of us. (3 hours)
