Seminars

Occasionally we offer open enrollment seminars to provide an opportunity for one or more people to participate in training without having to arrange an in-house program. The seminars we offer are those we judge to be in demand based on what our clients have requested most frequently.

Respectful Relationships – September 27, 2010 in Denver, CO

PHR/SPHR/GPHR recertification Credits ( 7 hours ). This 1-day workshop is the positive approach to helping people make sure that others will not perceive them as being inappropriate or disrespectful. When others are comfortable with you and feel respected by you, they are unlikely to interpret your interactions as harassment or discrimination! We cannot control the perceptions of others but we can develop interpersonal skills to assure that we handle ourselves with others in a manner that is most likely to be perceived as appropriate, tactful, courteous and respectful. This workshop teaches what to do, how to do it, and provides practice opportunities to start skill development. This training has been used internally by financial institutions, an auto dealership, local government agencies and others. Enrollment is limited to 18 people to assure real learning and practice opportunities.

Webinars

What is a webinar? Participants log in on a web conference site and call in with a toll-free telephone number to watch the slides on a computer monitor (or project them onto a screen) and hear the audio presentation. Our webinars allow the participants to ask questions verbally or by typing in on the conference screen (some webinars mute the participants). You may participate alone or with others in your organization.

Our webinars are designed to provide you and others in your organization an opportunity to learn proven practical techniques and tools praised by our hundreds of client organizations and tens of thousands of individuals who have participated in our training programs. Each webinar is focused on a few major topics with an emphasis on what to do and how to do it to achieve the learning objectives.

YOU PAY ONLY A SINGLE FEE!

We suggest that you limit webinar participation at your location to 6-10 people to allow maximum participation. We encourage verbal involvement during the webinar and larger groups tend to limit involvement in the learning process. By having small groups participate in different locations simultaneously they learn more than they would in large groups.

"The webinar greatly exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the interactivity via telephone – an unexpected bonus. The information was timely and helpful. Thank you so much!" — HR Manager, South Denver Anesthesiologists, P.C.

"I was very impressed with your webinar this morning. Two thumbs up!" — Susan O'Neill, Human Resources Specialist, Arapahoe County, CO


You may schedule a private offering of any of these webinars for your organization. For as little as $200 you can have any number of people participate in a program customized for your organization! Below are brief descriptions of a variety of webinars available. We also can design new programs to address topics of your choice for a slightly higher fee. Please call us at 303-998-0248 to discuss how we can help you with webinar training for your organization.

Get Problem Behavior Stopped & Desired Behavior Repeated! - 60 min

When problem behavior occurs how do you get it stopped or changed to what you want? This "What To Do - How To Do It" webinar gives you the answers and a step-by-step approach to use Caring Confrontation to get a real commitment for change. It works! How do you assure that employees will continue doing what they do well? Learn the "Secret of Successful Managers" in this program that anyone can learn to use to get desired behavior repeated and foster even more productivity, job satisfaction and better retention.  (Parents: it works with children, too!)

How To Facilitate A Problem Solving Discussion - 60 minutes

If a supervisor or manager jumps in with a solution or just tells an employee what to do, the employee only learns to depend on the supervisor. The manager eventually burns out because he/she is doing work that the employee is supposed to do! Learning how to help employees do their own thinking by involving them in the problem solving process is a coaching technique that helps develop employees, builds their confidence, encourages initiative and accountability, and saves the supervisor a lot of time in the future because employees will handle situations on their own!

Secrets of Super Service! - 60 minutes

Handling Irate Customers With Skill - 60 minutes

One of the most important and most challenging customer service situations is when you are faced with an irate customer!

You do want the customer service situation to be handled skillfully to resolve the situation, keep the customer's business, regain their trust and have them saying positive things about your organization and service rather than telling everyone how bad you are! This webinar provides step by step instruction in what to do and how to do it to achieve the desired positive results.

What To Say & Do When Emotions Erupt (Yours and Theirs)! - 60 minutes
