Professional Development

Transforming ‘Weaknesses’ into Assets – SWOTMastering new subjects helps employees expand their knowledge, and adds to the value of your business. This workshop helps employees understand their strengths, create a plan to reinforce their weaknesses, and harness opportunities to achieve professional success.

Networking: Unlocking Your Inner Rockstar Would you rather wrestle an alligator than attend a networking event? Do you cringe at the thought of talking to strangers? Do you struggle to find the right words to say? If so, our master networkers have a treat for you. This workshop will help you to remain comfortable in social settings, find your inner voice, and amplify your message.

Principle Centered LeadershipLeaders create leaders! In order for any business to succeed, high-performing teams require high-performing leaders. This workshop will help you cultivate a leadership style that will increase morale, reinvigorate your business, and produce results.

Organizing and Time ManagementDo you wish there were 30 hours in a day? Most serious professionals do. There’s family, friends, business obligations, and a host of other things fighting for your time. This workshop will show how to reclaim your calendar and increase your productivity. 

PD 1

Getting Results Without AuthorityThe ability to influence people and achieve results is critical to career success. Whether you’re dealing with superiors, colleagues, or other partners, it’s important to establish an ecosystem of cooperation. This workshop will show you how to develop consensus, motivate stakeholders, and get things done. Making the Transition from Employee to LeaderOne day everyone is your friend, the next day… they are your subordinates. The transition to management can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. This seminar will show you how to maintain your professional relationships and leverage respect to achieve momentum. Marketing FundamentalsAlthough the vehicles have changed, marketing is still a process of converting prospects into customers. This workshop will help you understand the basics of television, radio, print, and social media communications. Personal BrandingLike it or not, you are a brand! The rise of social media and resulting interconnectedness of the business community have transformed the way the world views your career. This workshop will show you how to cultivate authenticity and stand out among your peers.

PD 2

What is Social Media?Social media is more than a series of platforms driving interaction; they are highly accessible and scalable tools to build your business. This workshop will help you understand the world of social engagement and how to monetize these amazing opportunities.  Social Media as a Business Development ToolAre you looking for a way to up-sell, cross-sell, or sell, sell, sell? Social media marketing makes sense to a lot of businesses. This workshop will help you identify the unique social opportunities for your product or service.  To Tweet or Not to Tweet? That Is the Question!Does 140 characters really make a difference? Yes! Twitter is a powerful communication tool providing access to just about anyone on the planet. You can get past gatekeepers, interact with celebrities, and receive encouragement from thought leaders on a global scale. This workshop will help you understand the benefits of using Twitter, and a 101 of jumping into the conversation. How to Build a Social Media Engagement Strategy Do you remember the movie ‘Field of Dreams’ – “if you build it… they will come.” Social media doesn’t work that way! Throwing up a profile on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ does little unless you use it properly. This workshop will show you how to engage followers, promote your message, and transform followers into customers.

SM 1

Social Media for Professional and Personal GrowthSocial media can seem overwhelming, but it’s a tremendous opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, both professionally and personally. The connections you make online can propel your life, as well as your career, into new and exciting directions. This workshop will help you maximize your online exposure and build meaningful relationships. Social Media Policy DevelopmentWhat am I allowed to say online? Does my legal team need to review every Tweet and Facebook post? How can I turn my employees into brand ambassadors without them wasting their day on social media? This workshop answers these questions, and more, as we introduce you to drafting transparent policies that encourage sharing and professionalism. Maintaining Customer Trust On-LineLike it or not, you don’t own your brand anymore – your customers do! With the level of online sharing, maintaining a positive relationship with your customers is daunting… but not impossible. This workshop will show you how to create engagement efficiencies, capitalize on goodwill, and preserve strong customer relations.
