Henry Ford said, "Failure is simply opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." In the moment, certain failures can seem catastrophic, earth-shattering, and devastating, but it's important to maintain a healthy perspective and positive mindset. As Nelson Mandela once said, "Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." This takes endurance, grit, and determination; these are the qualities we want defining our lives. In this course, we'll talk about what it takes to move forward from a mistake and how to learn from past failures to ultimately find success.

Poor business processes can lead to missed deadlines, mistakes and increased costs. Find out how to design processes that work in this one-hour session.

Better Processes

To listen actively, you have to pay attention. You can't multitask, you can't avoid eye contact, you can't assume, and you can't be formulating your response. You have to hear the information. It needs to enter your brain, and then your brain needs to think about it. It's a much more complex task than we might think. This program discusses several ways to be a better listener, and the many things that often get in the way of listening well.

A recent ergonomics study found that on average, adults spent roughly 39 hours per week at work — with people employed in more sedentary occupations spending 22 hours a week sitting. It's frightening to think that with incorrect ergonomics, people are slowly but surely damaging their bodies for over 1000 hours on any year.

Turning Challenging Conversations Into Successful Collaborations

Some conversations can be really awkward. No-one wants to be the person to break bad news. It could be about something as trivial as leaving a crumb infested knife in the butter dish, chasing up overdue work, or even something as serious as firing an employee. Someone’s got to say it though. And if that person is you, we’re here to help. Target AudienceGeneral Audience / All Levels Business OutcomesThis course will help you to understand why you need to have honest conversations and what might happen if you don’t. Early intervention will help your work and life relationships, (thinking crumbs in butter dish) it will make difficult conversations easier to have, improve the outcomes of them, and reduce stress and anxiety.

How to Have an Honest Conversation (CPD certified)

Using a unique interactive movie choose-your-own-experience format, Unconscious Bias covers the basic concepts of unconscious bias and promotes diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The course provides eye-opening opportunities to shift perspectives and experience the world in a way that challenges us to examine how we think about the people around us. In Module One (Definitions and Basic Concepts), users navigate a scenario where they encounter two quite different individuals in a familiar setting. Through these engaging interactions, basic definitions are put into context and users are gently reminded of the need to recognize, understand, and deal with their own possible biases. In Module Two (Bias in the Workplace), users assume the role of Brad Nelson. Brad is a new employee, and he’s experiencing an office culture that is very different from any he’s ever known. Through a series of decision points, Brad has to deal with his boss, co-workers, and direct reports in situations that offer nuanced insights into possible unconscious biases and their possible effects in a diverse workplace. In Module Three (Unconscious Bias Exercise), users are put in a completely different workplace and asks them to make quick judgments based on very little information. In a quick-hitting exercise, a variety of viewpoints from a diverse group of people becomes a tool to examine how first impressions, biases, and stereotypes may influence attitudes and decision-making.Unconscious Bias includes a combination of scenario modeling, branching decision points, remediation through teaching text, interactive exercises, beautiful graphic design and the power of story-telling. The content is presented in a way that respects the intelligence of your audience, positively effects their attitudes and behaviors and raises retention levels for long term impact.
