“These online courses were much different than the simple tutorial type of online learning I’d done before, these courses were much more challenging. But, the instructors were great — engaging and quick to respond to questions — and their comments on assignments were always helpful; and, the best thing of all was the flexibility. It really took the pressure off, not having to attend a weekly class.”

It was a new role at work that prompted Alan Perkins to seek out an educational program that would strengthen his professional writing skills. With an already-busy schedule — both at the office and at home — he knew that finding time wasn’t going to be easy.

“When I realized the courses I had already taken were eligible for credit toward a certificate program, I decided to enrol — partly because it was perfect learning for my new communications role, but also because I was really enjoying the classes. Overall, I had a great student experience.

Flexible Learning

On campus. Downtown. Online. At University of Calgary Continuing Education, all courses, seminars, and certificate programs have been developed with part-time learners in mind, making it possible for you to pace your learning to fit your life.

COURSE DELIVERY

Courses are offered in a variety of formats including classroom and online, and occasionally, blended — partially in the classroom and partially online. Some certificates are achieved completely in the classroom, others completely online. Some certificate programs give you the choice of taking your courses in either format.

TAKING COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM Main Campus 2500 University Drive NW Downtown Campus 906 8th Avenue SW Continuing Education courses are held at UCalgary's main and downtown campuses at times that are convenient for adult learners. AT HOME STUDY In most certificate program courses, students are expected to complete readings and assignments between classes. The number of hours needed for at-home study will vary, however, if your course includes one three-hour class each week, you should plan on spending an additional three hours per week outside of class. Please take this into account when enrolling in multiple courses at one time.

4

TAKING COURSES ONLINE

Learning online takes the learning experience out of the traditional classroom and on to the Internet. Most of Continuing Education’s online courses are instructor-led, interactive courses. Students work within scheduled start- and enddates and observe set timelines for learning activities and assignments. For most courses, students are free to choose when they go online during the week. However, some courses require that students attend online classes on designated dates and at designated times. WORKLOAD For courses that allow you to choose when you will go online, you should plan to log in to the University’s online learning software three to four times per week in order to keep pace with the class. You should plan on studying and working approximately six hours per week per course. Please take this into account when planning your term, especially if you are enrolling in multiple courses at one time.

UNCERTAIN ABOUT ONLINE LEARNING?

Before taking your first instructor-led, interactive online course, you will be required to take BMC 352 Learning Online. This course is your chance to practise online learning in a safe environment.

BMC 352 LEARNING ONLINE

Discover more about yourself as an online learner in a supportive environment and ultimately determine if online learning is for you. Compare your current skills, habits and technical knowledge against what’s typically required for success in Continuing Education online courses. Whatever your starting point, you will develop and improve your abilities to connect, communicate and collaborate with others online. If you have previously taken BMC 152 Learning Online, you are not required to take BMC 352 Learning Online.

COURSE: BMC 352 | 10 Hours | $175 Note: New sections of this course are added regularly as demand requires. For an upto-date list of currently offered sections, go to conted.ucalgary.ca/learningonline

ACCOUNTING FOR NONFINANCIAL MANAGERS

I enrolled to confirm my belief that I am a leader, but also for professional development and personal growth. Kishory Devine. Graduate. Certificate for Emerging Leaders.

Shrinking budgets, fierce competition, along with limited time and resources are realities for most businesses. To meet these challenges you require a basic understanding of accounting and the type of information presented in financial statements. You need to evaluate financially how a new service or product might add value to the bottom line. You need to know why budgets and cash flow are critical to marketing and planning activities, and what to do in order to avoid or manage cash shortfalls. This seminar will help you make decisions and allocate resources to keep your organization ahead of the competition. A better understanding of financial statements will help you ask the right questions and allow you to speak the financial language of decision makers and investors. You will gain both a working knowledge of accounting basics and greater financial literacy.

Seminars Business Seminars ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING CRITICISM Has this ever happened to you? You tell a staff member that the work they just completed is not quite right, needs some changes or corrections, or that they need to do something they promised to you last week but still haven’t started. Their reaction is to make excuses, complain, or give you a long explanation of why they did it their way instead of the way they were asked to do it. One of the major reasons people do not improve their performance at work is because they don’t receive the right feedback in the right way at the right time. Anyone can tell a person that they made a mistake or were wrong. It takes a great deal of skill, however, to tell people that their work is not up to expectations — in such a way that the person remains motivated, corrects the errors, and works hard to improve.

Topics · High performance feedback · Receiving criticism and psychological defence mechanisms · Responding non-defensively to criticism · Tips on handling non-deserved criticism

ASSERTIVENESS: CHOOSING THE RIGHT BALANCE NEW Balanced assertiveness is like salt in a sauce; too much or too little leaves a bad taste in your mouth. In right measure, it is the perfect contribution and harmonizer. Similarly, it is a key success factor in business. By becoming more aware of and sensitized to our own reactions, judgments, aspirations and tendencies, we develop greater ‘presence.’ This leads to increased confidence, improved interpersonal capabilities, and better communication and outcomes. We discover that balanced assertiveness is a choice, a constant act of balancing, and a continuum that affects us momentto-moment, and person-to-person. As leaders, it is a continuum we must become comfortable navigating.

Topics · Assertiveness in practice · Assertiveness and its application and relevance to leadership · Balancing the blend of inquiry, perspective and equanimity, to choose and engage our desired response

· Managing consequences

· Explore a different way of thinking about strengths and weaknesses and the effect that has on our experience with others

COURSE: BUS 145 | 7 Hours | $375 + GST

BUILDING GREAT CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS Customer service staff play a critical role in building long-lasting relationships with customers. Whether it is face-to-face, on the phone, or via email; and whether it is with internal or external customers, every interaction can make or break that relationship. Having a great product or service is no longer enough. Today’s customers expect outstanding service, and providing outstanding service can give your business a competitive edge. In this highly interactive oneday seminar, you will focus on many important aspects of customer service, and will have the opportunity to practise and refine skills through case studies, role play scenarios, and other experiential activities.

Topics · Defining who and what a customer is · Internal and external customers · Understanding what is important to today’s customers · Identifying personal biases and assumptions that can influence customer interactions · Methods for proactively managing stress · Diffusing emotionally-charged situations and the importance of voice tone, word choice and body language · Communication styles · Communication techniques, including active listening, paraphrasing and mirroring · Techniques for listening to customers, and ways to uncover hidden or unspoken needs · How to exceed your customers’ expectations and build loyalty COURSE: BUS 166 | 7 Hours | $375 + GST 015 | Feb 23 | R | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | DT Instructor: Dasa Chadwick, MA, CPHR and Nicole Tsui, BA, CPHR Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Building Relationships

BUILDING TRUST IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

BUSINESS PARTNERING FOR RESULTS

COACHING FOR QUALITY PERFORMANCE

Trust is the foundation for establishing effective communication, for motivating staff, for keeping customers and clients, and for establishing credibility. Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM said: “The toughest thing about the power of trust is that it’s very difficult to build and very easy to destroy.” Today, increasing generational and cultural diversity in the workplace makes building and maintaining trust more difficult than it has ever been before.

The traditional staff professional role has evolved from service support to change agent and consultant. In this seminar, both internal and external advisors will be guided through the steps necessary to move from a technical specialist role to a 50-50 business partner role with clients. Learn how to combine consulting skills with customer relationship management principles to establish balanced consultant-client interactions. The key learning is that your own behaviour is crucial to the effectiveness of the business partnership role and the importance of asking the right questions when starting a new project, adopting a role that fits the situation, taking charge of the process, and working effectively with your clients by leading from behind.

Today’s rapidly changing workplace requires that leaders operate as performance coaches, providing vision, clear expectations, honest feedback, developmental opportunities and recognition. Leadership practices that encourage employee commitment, accountability, and empowerment are essential. Focus on practical coaching strategies for quality performance and work on your own real situations, develop practical skills and take steps to enhance your leadership effectiveness. Create a plan to implement your learning at work.

Topics · What trust is, and isn’t · How trust develops · The Trust Model; the four levels of trust · Actions that build trust · Actions that destroy trust · Diagnosing your team and individual trust · When trust is broken COURSE: BUS 173 | 7 Hours | $375 + GST 009 | Mar 13 | M | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | Main Instructor: Tam Pozzobon Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Professional Skills

COACHING TO LEAD

COMPOSING YOUR LIFE: STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

Why are some people more difficult to coach or mentor than others? Why does one person get motivated by challenging work, while another gets stressed out by it? Perhaps you’ve noticed that individual employees respond positively to different types of instruction and feedback. The reality is that you have a natural approach to working with and coaching others. However, to maximize satisfaction and productivity, it’s important to consider how effective your coaching approach may be with employees of different styles. This two-day seminar will help leaders, managers and coaches develop strategies to coach people with diverse styles. Using the power of Everything DiSC®, examine four behavioural styles and practise strategies to connect more effectively in one-on-one leadership coaching situations. Practise flexing and adjusting your coaching style so you can more effectively delegate, motivate and develop others.

Today's employers need highperforming employees at all levels of the organization. However, inspiring excellence can be a daunting task. Many organizations have discovered coaching to be an effective way to inspire their staff and increase productivity. Coaching has consistently been proven to bring out the best in people in performance, communications, teambuilding and other workplace functions. This seminar provides a quick and energetic approach to learning key coaching skills. You will learn the basic theory behind coaching and be introduced to a successful coaching framework. Also, learn powerful coaching techniques to enhance and grow communication and leadership skills. You will be able to practise applying coaching theory using workplace examples.

What’s your passion in life? Where will you focus your attention over the next one to three years, professionally and personally? What are the strategies for focusing on what matters in the face of so many professional and personal demands? Just as companies create a strategic plan to guide their business direction and steer through choppy waters, busy professionals need to do the same. Our complex world demands smart solutions.

CONFIDENCE IN COMMUNICATION

CONQUERING YOUR FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

Have you ever wished you had responded differently to a situation? Are there conversations to which you could have contributed, but held back? This one-day seminar will help you examine what has stopped you in the past, as well as how to find the confidence you need to speak up in a timely, appropriate way. It’s time to change the way you’ve communicated in the workplace or at home by building more confidence in conversations. It’s time to ask yourself if you are in charge of your world, or if your world is in charge of you. It’s time to change your mind, and tap into your unlimited strength.

Public speaking consistently ranks high on top ten lists of our most common fears, yet it is something many of us have to do in both our professional and personal lives. This seminar will provide you with a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for facing and conquering your fears, or growing the skills you already have. Learn the who, what, why, when, and how of public speaking as well as the importance of language, delivery and visual aids. Take advantage of this opportunity to practise your public speaking skills by doing two in-class presentations and mindfulness and awareness techniques that will allow you to quell any lingering panic you might feel. You will take the first steps in moving past paralysis and into the pleasure that public speaking offers. Some homework between classes will be required.

Topics · Leverage the gift of fear · Combine goal setting with the power of intention · Gain skills in negotiating difficult conversations · Benefit from mental preparation and practice in communication

Topics · Types of speeches · Preparation

· Polish your professional presence

· Selecting a topic and purpose

· Utilize risk evaluation and apply the best response

Seminars Business Seminars CREATIVE NEGOTIATING

CULTIVATING INNOVATION IN YOUR ORGANIZATION

DEALING WITH THE DIFFICULT CONVERSATION

Conflicts occur between management and labour, buyer and seller, between colleagues, and frequently, between managers in the same organization. Managers and employees may compete for financial and human resources; they may be in conflict over the policies and goals of the organization; or who has the authority to make decisions. Negotiation is a method to resolve conflict to reach an agreement that benefits both sides while recognizing that each side will protect its own self-interest. In this seminar, you will be introduced to the Creative Negotiating approach and steps in the negotiating process.

Innovation continues to rank among the top priorities for companies across every industry. But, implementing operational and effective innovation isn’t easy. It requires strategies to encourage, access and develop ideas in the first place, well before you reach the implementation stage. Discuss all aspects of innovation. Discover how you can accelerate the efficiency and success rate of innovation within your organization. Learn concepts that can be applied immediately to spur incremental to radical innovation in your organization. Case studies will be explored to illustrate both successes and failures of innovation.

Topics

Topics

· Hard, soft and creative negotiating; What are the differences?

· Structure your organization’s grand challenges into specific problem statements

The difficult conversation is stressful; it feels like an invisible minefield. It could be about telling someone that you are upset; giving bad news; or telling your manager, co-worker, or family member that they have done something that distresses you. The problem with these difficult conversations is that we spend more time worrying about them than engaging in them. Consequently, we either ‘blow it,’ put the conversations off too long, or avoid them altogether. This session presents ways to handle difficult discussions with skill and confidence. Learn an assertive, yet respectful method for discussing concerns with others. This method works well for giving constructive feedback, getting your views heard in tense situations, and encouraging others to change behaviour. Practise the method in a friendly environment using sample situations or your own challenges. Build awareness of success factors and bear-traps in difficult conversations, gain tools for engaging in difficult conversations and develop greater clarity about what not to say, as well as what to say and how to say it and learn how to change the behaviour of others by what you say and do.

DEFINE AND REFINE YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE

DEVELOPING HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS

According to many experts, one of the key elements determining success for leaders today is their leadership presence. The challenge is that there seems to be little consensus as to what ‘presence’ is precisely, and how to develop or enhance it. In this interactive session, we will pursue a definition of, and a plan for, developing leadership presence. We will explore the different perspectives that exist today and link them both to the context in which leaders operate, as well as the unique personality, approach and values that individuals bring to their leadership roles. You will leave the session with a clearer perspective on what leadership presence means to you, and strategies on how to further refine it in authentic ways to maximize your success and impact as a leader.

Many factors can affect the performance of a team. Changes in team members, new leaders, reorganization, and new requirements can all create pressure and result in lower productivity, confusion and conflict. This seminar will provide the knowledge and skills required for both leaders and team members to build and maintain high performance teams. These are teams where results are supported by effective team decision making and communication as well as individual accountability and alignment. Learn how to diagnose your team’s functional ability and plan and deliver focused improvement strategies. As a result you will be able to put your team on the road to high performance and also develop your skill as a leader.

Topics · Leadership presence: current views and perspectives · Common characteristics of leadership presence models · The role of personality preferences · The importance of clear and authentic communication · Leadership through influence versus power · The path forward: what kind of presence do you want to cultivate and display?

DO LESS AND ACHIEVE MORE: ZONE OF OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE Traditionally, the zone has been seen as the domain of athletes, artists, scientists, and high-level corporate achievers. Yet in today’s new era of creativity and innovation, every leader needs to be able to access his or her own zone of optimal performance and create environments for others to do the same. Competitive advantage comes from differentiation. When you’ve got that edge, you shine. And that shine comes from your ability to stay energized. Instead of multi-tasking and becoming drained, focus on the vital actions that really matter. Learn how to activate your inner intelligence so that everything you do becomes effortless and seamless. Drawing on insights from brain and creativity research, sports psychology, and multi-media presentations, this seminar provides you with the knowledge and tools for managing your mind, resources, and talents effectively to produce greater results in less time. Psychological research reveals that this state of flow is natural and leads to success. It’s easy. This seminar is spaced to allow for one day to apply knowledge and techniques learned in the ‘zone lab.’

Topics · Leaders and teams in the zone · Energy management to optimize your, and your team’s, performance · Core strategies for working smart, not hard (save one hour a day) · Identifying the vital few actions to achieve the results you want · The art of focus: parallel-tasking instead of multi-tasking to manage multiple projects · Creativity techniques for generating great ideas and solutions in a flash COURSE: BUS 109 | 14 Hours | $619 + GST 020 | May 31 - Jun 2 | WF | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | Main Instructor: Nicola de Carteret, BA, MA Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Personal Effectiveness

Seminars Business Seminars EFFECTIVE WRITING IN THE WORKPLACE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

From daily email demands to reports and proposals, clear written communication is the common currency of the workplace. Invariably, this communication takes place within a frenetic, fast-paced environment. Many in the workforce find their communication demands increasing exponentially, yet have no in-house support. This workshop is designed to provide that support. In a friendly, relaxed workshop environment, you will practise your writing and editing skills, addressing key issues surrounding communication in the workplace.

Emotional Intelligence (EI, EQ) is said to be two times more important than our intellectual intelligence (IQ) or technical competence. Time Magazine says: “IQ gets you hired but EQ gets you promoted.” The terms of reference about what constitutes personal and professional competence have changed. Today, we need to integrate intellectual and emotional intelligence to make positive things happen in our lives, our families, and our organizations or communities. Dr. June Donaldson’s emotional intelligence model is called Emotional SMARTS®. It discusses the A,B,C, and D of staying emotionally smart; being grounded, centered, and focused, particularly during times of change, challenge, conflict, and uncertainty. ‘A’ relates to awareness skills; ‘B,’ behaviours; ‘C,’ contact or connection skills; and ‘D,’ decisionmaking — all critical life and work skills and competencies.

Topics · How do I get started writing? · How can I speed up the writing process? · How can I become more flexible in the way I approach diverse writing challenges? · Do I really need to understand grammar to become a better writer at work? · How do I make my writing as concise and clear as possible? · How can I confidently ‘fix’ sentences that don’t convey the meaning I want them to convey? · How can I develop a written voice that is appropriate for a number of work-related situations? · Is there an easy way to know what punctuation would be appropriate in specific sentences? · What kinds of writing flaws should I be looking for when I proofread my writing and the written work of others? COURSE: BUS 266 | 14 Hours | $619 + GST

Topics · Emotional SMARTS® in terms of how you manage yourself and your interactions with others · Four Emotional SMARTS® cornerstones that form the foundation of emotional intelligence and wellness · Individual performance in the 16 characteristics that underpin the four cornerstones · Skills and competencies to enhance one’s Emotional SMARTS®, both personally and professionally

EMPOWERING AND MOTIVATING OTHERS THROUGH EFFECTIVE DELEGATION Empowerment through effective delegation is critical for encouraging learning and innovation in employees as well as fostering the development of critical thinking, self-efficacy and leadership skills. With a focus on personal accountability and longterm development, employees can meet the challenges ahead, ensure knowledge is transferred and have the freedom to innovate and learn. By assisting your employees and colleagues to realize their potential, you can attract key talent, continuously improve your organization, and ensure that people are motivated to achieve the organization’s objectives. By learning to effectively delegate authority and responsibility, and supporting the efforts of your staff by providing effective feedback and coaching, you can help your employees take responsibility and develop the confidence to make effective decisions for the benefit of themselves, the team and organization.

GET ORGANIZED! IMPROVE YOUR WORKFLOW AND BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY Keeping up with constant demands on your time, attention and energy takes its toll. The typical office worker will experience up to 170 interactions or distractions per day and has a backlog of 200-300 hours of incomplete work. Many are overwhelmed by too many responsibilities, emails and interruptions. Multi-tasking in an effort to stay afloat never allows people to step off this treadmill long enough to get organized. Instead, they try to solve everything by working faster and longer in a world that shows no signs of slowing down. Effective workflow is about the art of choices, actions, attention and energy, balanced with a workflow system that will support you as you navigate through the day. This seminar offers strategies and solutions to eliminate productivity roadblocks, leading to better selfmanagement and productivity.

Seminars Business Seminars IMPROVING COMMUNICATION AT WORK What is your preferred communication style: get-to-the-point, fact based, analytical, or warm, chatty and personal? Do you prefer work conversations that are direct, deal with the main issue and move on? Or, do you prefer to warm up a bit first, establish rapport, and then move into the topic at hand? These and other communication traits can make communicating in the workplace a challenging task. Have you ever been in a meeting and found yourself wishing people would just get to the point? Ever wish that some of your colleagues were more tactful and diplomatic? Has your boss ever told you that you need to speak up and contribute more in meetings? Do you find that your colleague’s eyes glaze over when you are giving a report? Communication style can be as much a foreign language as any other spoken language. In this powerful one day course, using DiSC®, you will learn about communication styles most commonly used at work, identify your own preferred style, and discuss strategies and tips to understand and communicate more effectively with those whose styles are different than yours.

Topics

INTEGRATIVE LISTENING: THE LEADER’S EDGE Listening is the cornerstone of effective communication, and is a core practice of leadership that helps us engage, encourage and lead people. Integrative listening is more than active listening, and goes beyond hearing or rephrasing. The goal and the leader’s responsibility is to achieve and sustain integrity — defined literally as completeness — through skillful listening. It requires an outer or strategic leadership focus, which is about being able to listen in the context of the larger picture, other dynamics, desired results, productivity, and performance. This seminar is based on the premise that each and every encounter requires us to listen all over again with a clear and unencumbered focus. Learn to facilitate leadership through listening; to understand listening as a foundational leadership skill for engagement, empowerment, productivity and inspired accountability.

Topics · Exploring listening behaviours · Multi-dimensionality of listening

· Identifying other communication style preferences · Increasing your communication style flexibility

The constantly shifting context of today’s business world demands a new approach to leadership. This new style of leading and managing requires in-the-moment approaches to relationships, work and change. You will explore the dynamic between planning and the in-the-moment leadership of others in execution of that plan. This highly experiential seminar is based on leading edge methods for leadership action and concentrates on teamwork, building relationships, and problem solving through structured practice. Acceptance, cooperation, supportive behaviour, interactive listening, and the ability to take forward-moving action on a given task are the rules of the game. It is a new and required approach to the successful navigation of complexity and change.

Topics · The leadership demands of complexity and change · Exploration and practice to develop skills in: · Dealing with mistakes

· ‘Speed-of-life’ tools and strategies to enhance integrative listening skills

LEADING FOR IMPACT AND RESONANCE

LEADING TO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES

We’ve all seen slogans reach popculture status, like Nike’s Just do it!. Over time, slogans can infiltrate our everyday conversation and lives. Our actions as leaders have the same potential. Our highest aspiration as leaders should not be about creating a big legacy, as much as creating a dayto-day legacy comprised of our vision, direction, decisions and the treatment of others, which can influence our corporate culture and everyday lives. Though largely unseen, our legacy is being created now. In this seminar, explore the many dimensions of leadership and how to be mindful of our daily actions and decisions, and their potential legacy.

When employees find meaning in their work, they are more likely to feel satisfied and engaged. For the organization, this translates into greater employee effectiveness and productivity. When staff are happy, they are team oriented, less likely to move on, and more likely to act in the best interests of the organization. In contrast, when employees do not feel a sense of meaning or engagement in their work, a multitude of problems can occur. The resulting poor attitudes, negative behaviours, and absenteeism can be detrimental to an organization’s morale, culture, performance and revenue. This seminar is intended for leaders wishing to learn and implement effective strategies of organizational psychology to foster positive employee attitudes and behaviours, increase employee performance, motivation, productivity, and generally improve employee engagement and job satisfaction levels.

Topics · Explore the multi-dimensionality of leadership · Insight into your own leadership, its effect on others, and results · Speed-of-life tools and strategies to enhance your leadership competency and legacy · Practise and share legacy leadership experiences to better integrate desired takeaways COURSE: BUS 607 | 14 Hours | $619 + GST 002 | Feb 8 - 15 | W | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | Main 003 | May 18 - 25 | R | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | Main Instructor: Janice Kobelsky, CMA, FCMA Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Personal Effectiveness

Topics · Introduction to organizational psychology · Employee attitudes and behaviours · Leadership behaviours that contribute to employee engagement, job satisfaction, effective team work, work motivation, and productivity · Aspects of group dynamics and how to develop strategies to enhance team work, motivation, and team performance · Strategies for addressing workplace issues and challenges related to organizational behaviour

LEADING TO INSPIRE: DISCOVERING THE POWER OF PURPOSE NEW Have you ever spotted that motivational magic that occurs when an organization — and the people within it — have a clearly defined purpose? When teams and individuals are able to articulate meaningful, direction-setting purpose, it engages their desire to contribute and enlivens their actions. In fact, the truest work of leadership is to identify and harness the power of purpose. Without purpose-driven leadership, teams can drift; but with it, vision, mission, values, goals and measures take on laser-like focus and the potential for excellence. Through this seminar, learn to discern and enliven the power of purpose so that everyone benefits — you, your team and your organization.

Topics · Achieve greater insight into your own, your team’s or your company’s purpose – your ‘why.’ Be able to clarify and articulate what that is. · Discover how to engage, empower and elevate yourself and others through the power of clear purpose. · Understand how to instill a sense of inspired accountability among those you lead and/or work with. · Explore how to create alignment between your own and others’ aspirations (individuals, your organization, division, or team) – particularly if or when they differ. · Share, discuss, and expand leadership experiences, with live coaching and opportunity for in-the-moment feedback, application and experience.

One-fifth of Canada’s population was born outside of Canada. Many first- and second-generation immigrants are influenced heavily by their own cultural values. As Canada continues to become more diverse, cross-cultural communication is becoming integral to effective and sustainable business practices. Implementing cultural awareness and cross-cultural communication strategies maximizes the value of client and employee relationships, while enhancing recruitment retention efforts. Understanding cultural differences creates awareness that allows individuals to perform their jobs in a more meaningful, impactful, effective and profitable way. Discuss how to recruit, negotiate, market manage and communicate crossculturally to enhance productivity and profitability, and create a healthier and happier workplace.

While organizations have spent a great deal of time on the project implementation side of change, they still struggle with the human element. Organizational restructuring, company mergers and acquisitions, technology implementations, software upgrades, process improvements and other big changes in the workplace can result in unforeseen problems, as well as frustration, confusion and tension among staff. Recognizing that change is an inevitable part of today’s workplace, this seminar is an opportunity to discuss change and the best road to successful outcomes. The focus will be on minimizing the negative effects of change. You will walk away from this seminar equipped with new tools and strategies to help you plan, implement and reinforce your next change effort, greatly improving your chances for smooth and successful change.

LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSION AND INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS

LEVERAGING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES AT WORK

It’s been said that life is one long sales call. What do you think of that analogy? There is likely some merit to that statement and here’s why! A great portion of your day is likely spent influencing others to do what you want them to do, see events as you see them, and ultimately support your idea, product or service. Most people support people they like, trust, and believe to be capable.

NAVIGATING THROUGH ETHICAL DECISIONS We can probably all think of an example of when an accomplished leader made a bad decision that had an impact on a company’s employees, clients and the general public.

NEGOTIATING SKILLS FOR WOMEN

OVERVIEW OF STRATEGIC PLANNING

POWER AND SCIENCE OF COACHING

We all negotiate in our lives, every day. We negotiate at work, home, school, and even in our volunteer settings. Recent research into negotiating styles and gender has revealed that while women may be more inclined to negotiate and collaborate, they may be at a disadvantage in some negotiating situations. Learn about the different expectations and outcomes achieved by women negotiating, compared to men, and a combination of planning and techniques that can help you achieve better outcomes. Explore an effective approach that is neither too hard, nor too soft, and creative ways to search for the best outcomes achievable for both sides. You don't have to be a born negotiator to achieve beneficial results in negotiating. There are skills and techniques that can be learned and applied in many situations to improve your outcomes.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up someplace else.” This well-known saying illustrates why organizations need strategic plans. Strategic plans guide and map the desired future for organizations. In this seminar, learn the basic concepts and processes involved in strategic planning, understand why strategic planning is essential for the success of an organization, and realize that the key to making the plan work is a commitment to implementation.

SUCCESSION PLANNING: DEVELOPING LEADERS FROM WITHIN

SYSTEMS THINKING: CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS

Succession planning. Is your organization prepared? Does your organization have the leadership capacity it needs to succeed in the future? What is the leadership legacy you are trying to create to ensure your organization is a great place to work? Is your organization having meaningful conversations about your current and future talent needs? If any of these questions make you pause, you should consider that all of the top companies (those with the best succession planning practices) agree that a succession program will result in extensive long-term benefits. Organizations that are able to develop the talent within have a stronger company culture and more engaged, loyal employees.

Peter Senge, a leading researcher in the fields of systems thinking and organizational learning, defines systems thinking as both a thinking skill and a language for understanding and working with complexity. When you understand the complexity of a situation, you are better able to think and act in ways that produce desired results, without causing harmful side effects. In this seminar, learn a unique approach to systems thinking as a method and tool for working with change, solving complex problems, and creating individual and team learning.

THE DECISIVE LEADER

TIME MANAGEMENT

Making decisions is one of the main functions of a leader, and the quality of those decisions is one of the primary ways a leader’s effectiveness is judged. It is common for leaders to panic and either rush into a poor decision or become paralyzed and not make one at all. The Question, Factors, Options, Planning (QFOP®) model for decision making is simple to use and provides a framework to make better decisions. Learn how to use the model by working through examples, then discuss how to communicate decisions to your supervisor or team. Both deliberate and rapid decisions will be covered, as well as how to ensure lessons are incorporated from previous similar decisions. As a leader — give yourself the best possible chance to make decisions that are as good as they can be.

It is often difficult to devote sufficient time to the duties and responsibilities of one’s job. This seminar is designed to provide a portfolio of practical techniques for organizing your time to yield better results in the same amount of time, or the same results in less time. Participants will analyze their own time management problems, participate in experiential learning exercises that highlight effective time management techniques, and learn specific approaches to solving time management problems.

TOXIC WORKPLACES: STRATEGIES TO CREATE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS

UNDERSTANDING AND DEVELOPING YOUR UNIQUE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF COLLABORATION

If you ask an individual to name a toxic employee in their workplace, it’s almost guaranteed that they will start to offer you a name. Actually, it may be more than just one person. Characterized by rising turnover, plummeting engagement, and losses in productivity and profits, toxic workplaces affect more than a company’s bottom line. This one-day workshop explores the characteristics of toxic workplaces; how these environments affect individuals, teams and organizations; and proven methods of cleaning up your workplace toxins.

Organizational culture is a key factor in sustainable profitability and unmatched long-term performance for all successful companies. It is a tried and true fact that when an organization has a winning culture, it is reflected in its people and their performance. Yet, as a leader dedicated to continuous improvement, building such a culture takes a commitment to fine tuning organizational awareness, strategic thinking, and changeleadership skills. Develop a deeper understanding of culture and how to design and maintain it with effective work and people structures and systems. Learn how to diagnose your personal, group and organizational cultures, and develop strategies to optimize your personal performance within the group and organizational structure context of your workplace.

Collaboration is recognized as a vital skill for leaders who want to succeed in organizations today, but it is also an area where theory and practice are often far apart. Just because you call a group of people a team does not mean that they will work collaboratively. However, if you can establish the conditions for collaboration to thrive, the synergy will benefit both the individuals and the organization. During this threeday seminar, learn when collaboration is beneficial and how to distinguish it from cooperation and other approaches to group work. You will have the opportunity to use your new skills by working through a project from start to finish in real time, and will leave with concrete methods and techniques for creating a collaborative team.

Courses NEGOTIATING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE: MAKING IT HARD TO SAY NO

RESOLVING CONFLICT ON THE FRONTLINE: DEMONSTRATING LEADERSHIP AT WORK

This course helps you understand your own reactions to difficult situations and develop skills to overcome the obstacles to reaching successful agreements. At one time or another, everyone has had to negotiate with aggressive, critical or argumentative people. Decisionmaking and implementation are often derailed by entrenched, negatively focused, reactive responses to change and diversity. Trying to resolve issues with people whose behaviour we find challenging often brings us to the limits of our patience and interpersonal skill.

All members of organizations are expected and often required to handle workplace conflicts effectively, yet this can be a challenging task. This course will give you knowledge and skills for assessing workplace conflict, determining whether a collaborative process or a more formal intervention process is needed and choosing the best intervention approach. You will practise analyzing workplace conflicts, and using a collaborative process to intervene as a third party. You will learn to demonstrate leadership in addressing conflict in ways that move all people involved towards mutually agreeable solutions.
