Why Them?
Pre-Covid: Employee Assistance Program (EAP): you provided an employee with a link to a financial advisor, a therapist, a gym… and they were happy.
Post-Covid: In the American Psychological Association’s 2022 Work and Well-being Survey, 81% of workers said how an employer supports their mental health will be an important consideration when they look for work in the future.
Our Solution
These workshops are a through-thread that boldly introduces your positive company culture to new employees upon arrival and promotes the message of unity and support through all stages of their career at your organization.
Just a Few of the Workshops We Offer
The Gift of the Present
Making Our Work & Home Life Sooo Much Less Stressful
What do all these have in common: guilt, worry, “what if” thinking, grudges, resentment, old anger, regret, and wild expectations? They all live in the past or the future. When we learn to focus on what’s in front of us, right now, they all move aside. Good riddance.
The worst thing a new hire can bring to your organization? Old anger from their last job. Or what about a salesperson unknowingly holding a grudge against a potential customer?
Mastering a present-moment mindset nurtures an employee’s peace of mind while keeping everyone focused on the task, customer, or colleague right in front of them, right now.
What Did You Expect?
Having appropriate expectations for everything and everyone… especially ourselves
How often do employees find themselves overwhelmed, frustrated, and let down? Is it really the project, the team member, or the client? Or is it the unrealistic expectation they have for how long the project will take, what the team member can provide, or how the client will react?
Employees will learn to avoid sweeping expectations from their own subjective perspectives and have appropriate, more objective expectations for individuals, tasks, and themselves.
Be Assertive, NOT AGGRESSIVE!!!!
(or passive aggressive, that’s not good either) to get what you want and need
Ever work with anybody who gets loud and in your face and calls it “Standing up for myself”? Get positive attention and results with self-power people will respect and you can be proud of.
A sure way to guarantee an organization has a dysfunctional culture? Have a team made up of those afraid to voice their thoughts, those who vent to anyone who will listen, and loose cannons who are the worst aspects of both. Even one person can throw off the balance of the office or team.
Great assertive communication takes practice. This lesson will get employees well-versed in its major components: taking emotion out of the equation; saying what you mean; providing only pertinent information; avoiding sending mixed signals.
