Developing Your Direct Reports is a course in which participants will learn "development coaching". So what's the difference between performance management and development coaching? Performance management is focused on eliminating the weaknesses of the past and present. Development coaching, on the other hand, targets employee strengths as the basis for future performance and the achievement of long-term goals. And the other major difference? - it requires the direct and regular involvement of the manager.

Employers emphasize that the most important aspects of an interview are: 1) A candidate must be able to relate their skills and abilities to those the employer seeks; 2) They must be able to offer proof.

Team synergy. It's a phenomenon that occurs when a team achieves greater results than each individual's performance. Winning sports teams, well-rehearsed orchestras, and synchronized surgical units all know the meaning. And with Creating Team Synergy, you can help your teams experience it too. This fast-paced, action-oriented program shows participants how teams evolve through five stages of team effectiveness, from immature to synergistic. Teams leave the session knowing their current level of development - and have a plan for reaching maximum performance.

Mastering the Change Curve is based upon years of research, experience, and the Kubler-Ross grief model. Using a current change initiative as a frame of reference, individuals respond to a series of 24 statements that describe responses to change, choosing from a five-point scale of "Almost Totally True" to "Almost Totally Untrue." The soft-skills assessment identifies which change phase the individual is currently experiencing, and it also provides subscores in each of the dimensions.

Personal and team discovery sessions simply and effectively bring values to the surface. Participants create a hierarchy of their individual value system using pyramid tents, stickers, and cards that represent both intrinsic and instrumental values. What makes these exercises so powerful is that in addition to "seeing" what drives their own actions, individuals get a clear picture of how their values compare to their peers, teams - and even the organization as a whole.
