WORKSHOPS

The ENGAGE Advantage

Our facilitators bring a wealth of practical experience and knowledge from 20 years of business and academic success to help you tailor workshops focused on your organization’s specific goals and needs. Motivate, retain, and empower your staff supported by facilitators who have been HR Managers, Retail Store Managers, Bookkeepers, General Managers, Marketing Directors, University Faculty, and Pastoral Leaders.

The ENGAGE Benefit

All workshops are founded upon the benefits of self-awareness: when people uncover their values (motivators) and connect those values to their decision making process (interpretation), they begin to realize their passion, purpose, and place within their organization.

All workshops integrate personalized feedback with facilitated dialogues that build trust, commitment, and productivity in a collaborative environment. We make use of team based, facilitated learning to ensure that participants learn from peers and well as from facilitators.

Human Resources Focus

The ability to develop and manage people is a powerful competitive advantage for any organization. Create a beneficial work environment and constructive ways for getting the best performance from people.

Giving and receiving “constructive criticism.”
This practical workshop teaches you to “hear” the value being expressed in “constructive criticism.” As you learn the role personal values play in the process of our evaluation and expectations, you can begin to view criticism in terms of “unfulfilled values” and not a personal attack. You will learn how to communicate effectively with difficult people, clearly define performance standards, and give receptive feedback.

Managing and empowering people
Consider the mutual investment approach to managing your people: training and empowering others is not only for improved skills now but also for preparation for future responsibilities. Learn how to connect your people to their passion for maximum productivity and sense of purpose.

Other topics are also available: changing performance expectations, guiding the work of others, managing conflict, motivating, and building trust.

Managing time and tasks
Are we really getting more done now than 30 years ago? The quantity of our work may be increasing but have we lost the quality of that work? Where are you spending your time? What would you rather be doing? Learn how your personal values hierarchy influences how you spend and manage your time at work and in your home life. Realize your default motivations which lead you naturally respond to tasks with vigour and learn to prepare for the tasks or duties you regard with an indifferent attitude.

This workshop includes a range of topics: planning and organizing, guiding the work of others, understand your needs and priorities, dealing with pressure, disorganization, procrastination, interruptions, and other time wasters.

Navigating Organizational Behaviour

Learn how to identify, interact with, and adapt recurring human behaviours that often weigh down workplace relationships by understanding communication styles and motivators. The skills you will develop in this workshop empower you to respond positively and proactively to a multitude of organization issues.

Leadership Focus

Leading Change

If “change is the only constant in life,” then why are we surprised, unprepared, or resistant when change appears? Resistance to change stems from what we perceive to be threats to our top motivators. An understanding of these motivators will enhance your ability to diagnose core issues and overcome resistance to build effective teams to drive the change process.

Broadening your Understanding
To see another perspective, you must first realize your own vantage point. Once a leader realizes his/her own interpretive lens, they can then learn to see things from other perspectives, realize the complexity of issues, create personal balance (core values), and lead by example (handle stress, self-confidence, personal vision).

Fundamental Leadership Skills
An understanding of core motivators and personal values enhances all areas of leadership including communication, negotiation, coaching, creativity, presentation, and organization.

Vision and Mission Focus

Integrating and Communicating Vision
This workshop will help you cultivate your people and their ideas through facilitation. Aligning a team to the vision of the organization must include hearing what your people think the vision is. Many times the evaluation of misalignment within an organization is directly related to how individuals are defining terms and responding to their top values. Better communication will deliver better results in every situation and help your organization realize vision breakthroughs, improved workplace cohesiveness, and effective team dynamics.

Persuasion – Changing ideas, attitudes, and actions
To persuade someone to your point of view, you must first recognize their point of view. For the majority of people, this is easier said than done. Develop the tools to hear the motivators of the other person and respond to those values. When you learn to engage another person in a manner that speaks to the foundation of their ideas, attitudes, and actions, you will earn the right to be heard and trusted.

Faith Based and Charitable Focus

“When money is not the motivator” – Working for Others
Motivation may be discussed as “incentives” leading to job satisfaction or factors of “hygiene” which seek to prevent job dissatisfaction. But what is the motivation behind faith based, volunteer, of charity work? Are there unique challenges facing faith based or charitable organizations as they seek to motivate their committed volunteers?

This workshop explores how recognizing and rewarding the motivations of volunteers – achievement of the goal, recognition for work, the nature of the work, or need for responsibility – can all work together to enhance the mission of the organization and build a compassionate environment.

“Working Together” – Partners for Change
It is essential that faith based leaders understand the nuances of inter-denominational partnerships. A solid understanding of personal values and motivators will help you manage strategic relationships good times and solidify those relationships in conditions of ambiguity, tolerance, and diversity. Learn how to establish shared visions and values that motivate people in diverse organizations and from different faith perspectives.
