20 Apr: Good to Great Leadership in Denver

Good to Great Leadership in Denver Good to Great Leadership in Denver – Level 5 Leadership – What does it take?  “You can accomplish anything in life provided that you do not mind who gets the credit.” – Harry S.

28 Feb: Customized team building training in Denver – give ’em the pickle!

Customized team building training in Denver – give ’em the pickle! We create customized team building training in Denver and beyond. Years ago I designed a 9-day training for supervisors, that included customer service training. You see, everyone has customers, both internal and external. The battle cry was “Give ’em the pickle!” Let me explain. I grew up near Seattle where we had Farrell’s restaurants. Everyone loved Farrell, and Bob Farrell, the founder, went on to create some program materials for customer service. He has a great story to tell, but the bottom line is that one of his servers…

25 Jan: MBTI Team Building training in Denver

MBTI Team Building training in Denver During our MBTI Team building training in Denver, we often take more time to focus on the S-N and the T-F dichotomies.

One thing we need to get clear on is that people who prefer thinking (“Thinkers”) are not…

19 Nov: QBQ Accountability in Denver, Colorado

QBQ Accountability in Denver, Colorado QBQ Accountability starts with an “I’ statement When I come in to work with most teams they have complaints. I worked with a team doing conflict management last week and guess what? Their conflicts mostly had to deal with how “others” weren’t doing right! Surprise! The good/bad news is that accountability starts with the one in the mirror. The only one you have the power to change is yourself! Here is one of my favorite simple tools for building and modeling more accountability in the workplace. 1. What are your complaints? This is the part hat most…

Leadership Development Denver, Colorado – 2015 Leadership development Denver, Colorado. As you are putting a plan together for 2015 and you consider your personal, leadership team and organizational growth, there are four dimensions that we suggest you consider. In our work with leaders and teams we see recurring themes of breakdown, that if addressed and planned for, could be turned into breakthroughs. 1. Got inspiration?

28 Oct: Corporate Soul

Corporate Soul Many of you have probably heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Have you thought about how this applies to the business world? In a nutshell, the theory states that once people have their basic needs for food, shelter, safety, etc. met, they eventually move up the ladder to wanting to be “self-actualized.” Basically each of us wants to give our all, to fulfill our “mission” and be of service. Because most of us spend the majority of our time in the workplace, we want to be able to use all of our gifts and talents to fulfill our mission with WORK as the…

MBTI Training in Denver, Colorado MBTI Training in Denver, Colorado – How to adapt to Js (planners) and Ps (spontaneous ones) in the workplace  One of the reasons I love talking so much about MBTI Training in Denver, Colorado is that when you understand the differences in styles you get that people are not TRYING to drive you crazy, and it’s not personal!
