Trainings built just for you and your team One of the unique things about my training style is the individualized approach I take. It's never one-size-fits-all. Each component of the staff training is built around your mission, your goals, and your staff. Sharing information about your site, program, and staff allows me to structure our activities to focus on current strengths and challenges. Future trainings at your site build on the work we've already done. Customizing continues onsite Our trainings take place over a minimum of 2 days (you decide how much time each day) at the same cost others charge for one day. This allows a few powerful things to happen:
What it Looks Like Trainings vary greatly due to staff, culture, and goals. Here are more examples of my work: Situation: Summer Admin. Staff; ages 24-70; strong culture & tradition; 3 training days Goals: Accountability, Consistency, Mentoring Training components: reflection, small & large group conversations, problem solving exercises Sample session: (Tools for Success I) Large group talks about common goals & issues for the staff they supervise; introduce mentoring handout (go deep or go broad); small group breakout by job focus, identify areas of strength for general staff & areas of challenge, prioritize needs, strategize how to address most important areas; discuss ideas in large group Results: Camp Director & Admin. Staff reported increased trust, appreciation & accountability for individuals and gratitude for group solutions to ongoing program issues.
Goals: Communication, Efficiency, Respect, Strengthen working relationships Training components: personal awareness, small group discussion, collaborative problem solving Sample session: (Communication) Individuals talk about what motivates them at work, their strengths and communication style; appreciative inquiry about success in projects/ communication amongst their staff, acknowledge contributions of individuals; apply success to areas that are more challenging (how can strong 1:1 communication help with meetings?) Results: The Program Director reported a vast improvement in group meetings (more productive and enjoyable), higher appreciation, respect, & enjoyment amongst staff
Situation:
