Other Programs For Executives and Managers

In addition to our HBDI™ programs we offer a number of programs that help teams work more effectively.

Supervisors and managers play a vital role in ensuring high performance from staff, effective teamwork, and increased productivity, and maintaining employee morale. This session examines the roles of coach, counselor, and mentor that supervisors must play. These programs look at behavioral differences and why and how people behave the way that they do. Participants will learn how to build their workplace into a committed team of people with excellent relationship skills.

Program Segments:

  • Coaching, Counseling, and Mentoring Employees
  • Building Effective Communication Skills in the Workplace
  • Managing in a Multigenerational Workplace.

Every good meeting has certain qualities: a purpose, an agenda, participants that understand their roles, and an effective facilitator. Our programs teach tools and techniques to help conduct good meetings. Participants will learn how to plan for an effective meeting by setting goals and determining an agenda. Participants will also learn skills that will help them facilitate meetings. These programs will also cover other tips for making presentations or trainings more effective.

Program Segments:

  • Planning for Effective Meetings: A Review of the Basics
  • Leading Successful Meetings: Building Facilitation Skills
  • Communicating Effectively: Adjusting for Different Styles, Temperaments & Generations
  • Using Dialogue to Enhance Planning

In a changing workplace, healthy differences can escalate into conflict. These programs will help you recognize signs of conflict, assess the impact of conflict on your employees and organization, choose effective intervention strategies, and handle conflict related discussions effectively.

Program Segments:

  • Managing Change: Challenges and Opportunities
  • Resolving Conflicts: Practicing Different Approaches
  • Using Dialogue to Resolve Conflicts
  • Understanding and Minimizing Intergenerational Conflicts

There are many aspects to diversity.  In addition to our HBDI™ seminars, we offer segments on learning style preferences, differences in temperament, and generational differences.

We also have a range of programs focused on promoting tolerance or confronting hate within an organization or community. These include video based programs, book groups, and dialogue based programs that can be tailored to your organization.  Participants take away practical activities that can be put to use to promote tolerance of our differences, and appreciation of our diversity.

One set of programs is based on the current research of Robert J. Sternberg at Yale University:

"Hate Hurts: Recognizing Hate and Minimizing Its Effects In The Community". This program, based on recent research looks at many forms and levels of hate and associated communication patterns, and at effective and low-cost ways citizens and communities can counteract the effects of hate.
