SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS

BUILDING BUSINESS BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

All of the following programs can be offered individually or in a series and are easily customized to your specific needs.

CORE PROGRAMS:

		LEAP START!™ Conference Opener We’ve witnessed a new phenomenon: attendees who used to mingle at breaks now get on their cell phones and BlackBerries, instead of connecting with other attendees. Break that cycle by making Leap Start!™ your conference opener. It creates a powerful permission to network atmosphere, and will change the dynamic of your conference, regional or national meeting—guaranteed.
		Power of POSITIVE NETWORKING® Our most popular workshop teaches the “world’s best definition” of networking, Positive Networking®. It’s recognized as one of the most effective programs to learn the skills of networking, conversation, social intelligence and how to build a network. Add the module Let’s Go Do It Now!™ which includes going to a networking event as part of the day.
		SHEPA Circles™ You’ve learned the skills at the Power of POSITIVE NETWORKING®, now go out and do it, again and again. This valuable coaching series, SHEPA Circles™ changes behavior. Participants gain a heightened awareness (shepa) of opportunities, build confidence and see the results of networking.
		The Art of R.E.A.L. Conversation™ What’s the biggest challenge when it comes to networking? It’s conversation, everything from small talk to in-depth conversations. This interactive workshop teaches our four-step process to better communication and takes you beyond mere social ease to building rapport.
		Leaders Tell Great Stories™ Storytelling is such a powerful tool of communication, but it’s a lost art. Teach everyone in the organization how to tell your stories. This is a hands-on session where participants learn how to craft and tell stories, and also how to collect great stories about your company.
		All Access™ Instead of a keynote at lunch or dinner, try this unique event facilitated by Gayle Hallgren-Rezac and Judy Thomson. People discuss topics at their tables, ones that are guaranteed to stimulate lively conversation. It’s a great bonding exercise and a terrific way for conference attendees to get to know one and other.
		The Engaged Woman Leader™ This is networking with a women’s focus: building confidence, making networking a priority, finding the time and learning the 7 steps of THE NETWORK DANCE: N.E.T.W.O.R.K.® (no actual dancing required). This program has been described as, “Cool, savvy, by women, for women.” This is a perfect session for your internal women’s network.
		Evolved Business Conduct™ Yes, the times they are a-changin’ so how has business conduct evolved? This fresh take on business conduct deals with everything from face-to-face to face-to-screen, but the thread throughout echoes Peter Drucker, “manners are the lubricant of business.” A great program for everyone, not just Gen Yer’s.
		Looking For Ted Williams™ Looking for all-stars on your team or to grow your farm team—those high potential leaders? Using a baseball analogy, participants rate where they are on the Engaged Leadership Matrix™ developed by Darcy Rezac, with two university business deans. It’s a roadmap for engaged leadership inside and outside the organization, benefiting both the enterprise and the community.
