Working with Style
Understanding ourselves and others is an effective way to improve our communication skills and create a harmonious, productive environment.
Today, the question isn’t "Are you stressed?", but "How stressed are you?" This workshop will move participants beyond merely coping with stress. Taking an 'inside out' approach, participants will learn to reframe the events that cause stress into opportunities to thrive.
New expectations require that we not only share our experience, but that we train others in a manner that ensures a transfer of knowledge and/or skills to those who will utilize what they learn to change their behaviour on the job.
