COCKTAIL TALK

News Flash! Your employees have private lives!!  But just like most of us, they also define themselves partly by the work that they do. So, when they are out for drinks or dinner or with friends, they are representing your company.  And the big question is: are they doing it well?

Cocktail Talk is a fun interactive/role play workshop that simulates strangers meeting for the first time.  The participants are taught a series of networking tools that will help them get over the fear of talking to strangers, learn the mechanics of small talk, gain an understanding of the “image” that you want and need to project, and they’ll perfect that and deliver it during the workshop. 

By the end of the workshop, each participant will have the ability to be credible and polished initial representatives of your company.  They’ll project a positive image and carry the message of your company to the hundreds of people they come into contact with on a daily basis.  As the whole company continues to move in the direction of “pitching and selling” your company, it increases the likelihood of boosting sales. 

This workshop is electric and fun.  It’s breaking your people out of the normal workshop environment, and they’ll appreciate it.  Serving food and drinks is recommended but save the wine and beer for after hours!

Innovate Your Creative Self

This workshop is for any company who desires more teamwork, more creativity and productivity without losing the fun in the workplace. This is a great workshop for a company retreat or when the creative juices are running low and the employees need a lift.

Creativity in the workplace is imperative because even if you’re not changing, your competitors are and in order to keep up with trends, we must constantly innovate.

All of us, including companies get content and then we get stuck in ruts. But what used to work 3 years ago, won’t necessarily work today so it’s important to keep open to changes. The workshop deals with our attitudes, routines, systems, and patterns that may need adjusting and updating. We use games, exercises and coaching to break through the usual way of being to create a new concept of our business and of ourselves.

  • Optional Lengths: 2 hours, ½ day or full day

SURVIVING AND THRIVING IN THIS FAST PACED WORLD

This workshop is for all levels of employees.

Stress is a part of all of our lives. And as our world becomes more and more connected, we have access to more of the worlds’ problems through the constant bombardment of stories on numerous 24 hour news channels. Our kids are feeling it too and we’re now having to face the sad fact that our children aren’t safe in their schools.

While each of us handles stress differently, some of us handle it better than others. This workshop will be a great time for the company to come together to let down their hair and to find ways to handle their work and their lives better.

Topics that will be discussed are setting priorities, learning our values, setting goals, practical tips for handling stress, ideas and suggestions to better handle physical, mental and emotional stress. The team will hear up to date research, and then go through exercises where they’ll be coached to come up with their own tool box to handle their stress. This is a fun and lively workshop that will be a stress buster, and it’s filled with music, dancing and laughter! (which is a therapy we’ll discuss!)

  • Optional Lengths: 2 hours, ½ day or full day
