Each workshop as described above is one-half day in length (3 hours) with ample breaks provided. A variety of learning methods will be employed including small and large group discussions and activities, partner exercises, individual self-assessments, role-play and video. The emphasis is on an interactive experience for participants. Each session incorporates a skills practice using real-life situations in order to provide participants with an opportunity to practice the skills taught in a low-risk environment (thereby facilitating the transfer of skills to the job). Participants will also develop an action plan for implementing the skills when they return to work.

How to Deal with Difficult People

Sooner or later, most people encounter difficult people at work or in life. In this workshop, participants will learn strategies for managing difficult people. We will discuss how to manage several types of difficult people – from Complainers to Know-It-Alls.

Service Excellence

In this workshop, we will discuss how to provide excellent customer service. Participants will learn four principles of stellar customer service:
Service: Make serving others your #1 priority
Attitude: How you think about others is how you will treat them
Consistency: Set high service standards and live them every day
Teamwork: Look for ways to make each other look good

Understanding Yourself and Others: The Myers-Briggs Workshop

A common experience in people’s lives is that they notice that their family, friends and coworkers don’t experience the world in the same way they do. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a model of personality that gives insight into how and why people understand and approach the world in such different ways. This workshop provides an introduction to the MBTI. Participants will learn about the eight preferences and the 16 types. We will discuss how this information can be used to understand and relate to others more effectively. (Optional feature: participants can complete a self-scoring MBTI instrument during the session so they can learn their own “type.”)
