Listening Under Pressure
Most people ordinarily listen at only 25% of their listening capacity and risk coming across as indifferent or uncaring, which makes others less communicative. Listening well is essential for business success. This seminar provides practical guidelines, specific skills and audio exercises to help participants learn the power of active and focused listening.

This workshop will help you promote healthy and respectful work relationships and reap the benefits of diverse opinions.

Strategies for Working With Behavioral Style Differences 
The foundation of personal and professional success lies in understanding oneself and being aware of the impact of personal behavior on others. This program is based on the DiSC Classic 2.0 learning assessment. The DiSC instrument is a highly effective and very engaging methodology, which allows employees to clearly see the differences in how they communicate and relate, with a special focus on how adapting communication styles can create more value for them as individuals and for their teams.

Powerful PresentationSkills

Preventing Sexual Harassment
United States Supreme Court decisions make it more important than ever for employers to take action to prevent sexual harassment.
