Our Live Workshop Topics

All proven winners!

The modern work environment requires collaboration, and everyone benefits when problems can be solved by leveraging the strengths and talents of all. These lively, hands-on workshops focus on key strategies for powering effective collaboration on individual teams and across your entire organization.
Our Leadership workshops meet your employees where they are and offer hands-on practice with key skills of a leader such as building strong teams, giving feedback, providing coaching, making decisions that stick, and delegating.
If there's one constant in today's work environment, it's change. The business environment shifts, roles evolve, teams grow (and sometimes shrink), business strategy pivots. Our Change Management series of practical, hands-on workshops empowers your employees to navigate, manage, and initiate change with skill and confidence.
Communication is key. Getting along well with colleagues, putting ideas across, solving problems -- they all require effective listening, knowing your audience, and recognizing your own style and preferences. Our Communication workshops offer skills-building practices that address these topics and more to uplevel communication in your organization.
We believe anyone can manage projects with skill and confidence. Our Project Leader workshop series has something for everyone, whether they're facing their first project or just need a few tips to up their game. As with all our workshops, hands-on and practical is the focus in these engaging, relevant sessions.

Thank you for putting this together! My specific project has a lot of moving pieces and it forced me to really sit down and focus on my end goal and not get distracted by out of scope ideas. I walked out with a more well defined goal and action plan.
