Here is a sampling of what Pam offers… or you may opt to have her tailor a session for YOUR particular needs. 

 

“Put a ring on it!” – Employee/Community Engagementring1

If you or your employees are coming to work day after day, month after month but never bothering to up the ante, there’s a lack of engagement.  Human nature says we all want to belong to something bigger, to contribute in a bigger way, do our part in moving the company or community forward.  True engagement is the way.  Learn the who, what, when, where and why of engagement and watch things  go to the next level!

 

comm2“You said WHAT??!!” – Effective Communication

Nothing gets accomplished without communication. NOTHING. And we have all experienced a time or two when what we’ve said and what the other party heard were two different things.  Learn the components of effective communication including setting boundaries, how to have the difficult conversation with “that” person, and how to get your point across in the most professional way to ensure you’re heard.  You’ll be much happier at home AND at work!

 

“stress1FROM DISTRESS TO DE-STRESS” – Stress Management and Burnout Prevention

Okay, anyone that says they have NO stress in their lives may be too stressed out to recognize it!  Most of us are great at two things:  looking after others and ignoring our own needs!  We’re overworked, overwhelmed, overburdened and overtired.  When your head finally hits the pillow at night your mind is swimming with all you’ve done:  budgets and meetings, dealing with difficult people, paying bills, mowing the lawn, cooking, cleaning, organizing and a whole lot more… but what have you done for yourself?  Exactly.  Frankly, you’re a stroke or a heart attack waiting to happen.  Time to take charge.  This workshop will have us take a closer look at the way we run our lives and the exhaustion and frustration that often results.  We’ll look at the causes of stress and how our bodies react.  The “Top 10” ways to recognize stress and the “Top 10” ways to eliminate it will be discussed,  you’ll see exactly where your stress levels are and you’ll be provided with tools to de-stress!  So sit back, relax and enjoy… you deserve it!!

 

happy“DROP the ‘TUDE!” – Successful Workplace Attitudes/Behaviors

Nothing speaks to an employer more than a positive attitude and professional behavior.  While we’ve all been taught to “just be yourself”, there are those bits and pieces of “us” that simply do not belong in the workplace.  We’ll learn what it means to behave as a true professional and how to put forth a job-winning (and job-KEEPING) positive attitude, even when you’d like to let loose and tell someone what you REALLY think!  Mastering this will help you get and keep that job you love!

 

mirror“MIRROR…MIRROR”

Pam’s #1 requested workshop!

Oh the frustrations of constantly striving for professional and personal excellence!  But why do we blame everyone and everything but ourselves when things go wrong?!  Get in and hang on TIGHT!  You’re in for quite a ride as we take a look at those things in our workplace and personal lives that cause us grief.  Let’s be honest:  If we’re going to spend most of our waking hours at work, we should be doing everything in our power to ensure work is a fun, positive, place to be, while at the same time maintaining the highest level of professionalism.  We’ll identify what motivates us to keep going and take a closer look at what drives us over the edge, namely, PEOPLE!  As the title suggests, we’ll be taking a look at ourselves as well… a process that is guaranteed to make us both keel over in laughter AND cause us to swallow hard!  YIKES!!  This component is guaranteed to bring harmony and smiles to everyone in your workplace!

 

“DEALING WITH CHANGE!”change

Change has the ability to send shivers up our spines.  And yet it’s the only constant.  We’ll cover all aspects of change here:  why we need it, how people react to it, and how we can work through it to be not only a better organization, but better people working in that organization.  With a number of group and individual exercises, we’ll work our way through the negatives of change, to the point where we not only accept it, but welcome it.  Within this component we’ll deal with how change affects management, employees AND clients, look at the damage that can be caused through basic misunderstandings and lack of information (from all parties!) and come out the other side welcoming the change, allowing the organization and all involved to grow.  Let me say this:  the competition is out there, and they’re changing.  If you don’t keep up… well you know the rest of the story!

 

pro“PROFESSIONAL OR JOB HOLDER?!”

For some crazy reason, people denote job title with professionalism.  That is absolutely NOT the entire scenario.  We’ll straighten that out here!  Being a professional is not always WHAT you do but HOW you do it.  And frankly, it’s not okay to “slip” on the “how” when you’re in a profession that deals with others.  Oh… and “mediocre” is not okay!  We’ll consider where each of us is on a professionalism scale and take a close look at where we are in a number of “professionalism” areas such as attitude, language, dress, communication skills and more.  You may walk in knowing you’re a job holder, but you’ll walk out with the tools to be a true professional!

 

“THE “I” IN TEAM” – Because if “I” don’t do my part, the team’s strength is diminished…team

It’s 2015 and the way forward is through partnerships, collaboration and working in teams.  But make no mistake:  the fact that a group of individuals is put together, does NOT make it a team.  It takes work.  From visioning to a desire to be part of the team, we’ll cover the 10 most important components for building a true team.

 

partner“Howdy Partner!” – the way of the future

We may do “ok” on our own, but it’s through partnerships that we are able to do so much more, remain viable and sustainable.  Partnerships are found in the most obvious places, and while this workshop will encourage looking at those, the focus will be on developing those partnerships that are “out there”.  Watch your business grow, marketing efforts take off, and celebrate your ability to that much more with what you have – let’s shake on it, partner!
