I design and facilitate team and management development events.  I chose the word, “events,” carefully.
  
Sometimes I present workshops based on my books, Working Relationships and Coaching For Emotional Intelligence.  On other occasions, however, I am asked to design a presentation tailored to kick off, or supplement, a company meeting or planning session.  
 
In designing group presentations, my work is marked by the following:
 
  1. ★ Close collaborative planning with my client.  I never do workshops “off the shelf.”  I want to know more about the company and what challenges indicate a need for the training.
  2.  
  3. ★ I learn enough about the client’s working environment to tailor my examples and my approach to assure that my presentation is relevant to the group.
  4.  
  5. ★ My group work is highly interactive…short presentations of content, small and large group discussions.  When doing skill development, I always model the skills before asking the group to do a variety of small group skill practice exercises.
 
  1. ★I can design sessions as short as one hour and as long as two or three days.  I have worked with groups as small as six participants and as large as over one hundred.
  2.  
  3. ★My practice sessions emphasize real-world application of skills.  I never ask people to play games, engage in simulations of questionable relevance, or to do any embarrassing exercises.  My goal is to maximize the immediate transfer of training to the workplace.  If it can’t be used on the job, it has no place in the training room.

Working Relationships: Using Emotional Intelligence to Enhance Your Effectiveness With Others
This workshop is relevant for both leaders and team members.  We focuses on the individual’s responsibility for developing the personal characteristics and competencies associated with emotional intelligence.  This includes fully participating in sharing perspectives and engaging in the problem solving necessary to build high-performance teams.  
 
But personal courage alone is insufficient.  Most people and teams lack a practical and common-sense understanding of team development and how to handle conflict without disruptive emotions getting in the way.  This event presents an approach to team development and issue identification that takes the emotional heat out of conflict.  In addition, participants learn how to prepare for and engage in challenging conversations.

Team and Management Development Events
This workshop is relevant for any leader responsible for coaching and performance management.  Giving recent advances in our understanding of the impact of emotional intelligence on performance, managers must now provide coaching that addresses what people do and how they interact with other people when doing their jobs.  Addressing performance objectives is relatively simple.  But providing coaching that addresses personal characteristics and social traits that affect how people get along with their coworkers is much more challenging.
 
In addition to learning how to make coaching a routine part of a manager’s day, this event also provides a structured approach for dealing with situations in which people are not making the necessary changes.  Included are worksheets for documenting performance issues and for structuring the conversation so that the job get done.
