Workshops and Intensives

I offer a series of workshops and intensives.  These programs come in a variety of lengths and are very interactive and designed to engage adult learners.  All programs are delivered using accelerated learning techniques to produce the greatest results in the least amount of time. 

General topics are listed below. For more workshops and intensives, customization, or to address your specific needs, please contact me.

Personal (or Professional) Mastery Series
This series of workshops also serve as stand-alone workshops ranging from 45min to 3hrs.  I offer both a personal and corporate version of each of these workshops.  Contact me if you are outside of the Chicagoland area as these workshops can also be presented via webinar!

Discovering Your True Personal Values
Values are our deeply held views of what is truly important. They are a person’s driving force and influence our actions and reactions. They come from many sources: parents, religion, schools, peers life experiences and culture.  Many go back to childhood; others we take on as adults.  Our values point to our core strengths; when we are engaged in activities that are congruent with our personal values, we feel connected, excited, effortless and confident.  Often our true values lie just below the surface of our awareness, overshadowed by all of the things we believe we “should” be doing.
Knowing your values helps you:

•Define a clear vision for your future. You’re less likely to take the easy way out or chase after short-term gains at the expense of your long-term goals.
•Make good decisions. You quickly know what are good choices for you and what are not.
•Improve leadership. Personal integrity and authenticity are two characteristics that emerge from knowing one’s core values.
•Be happier. Living a life aligned with your core values, lessens stress and increases confidence, satisfaction and energy.

In this interactive workshop you will gain clarity on your top values and learn a simple plan to bring them to the forefront in every area of your life!

Values in the Workplace
Knowing your personal values will benefit your job/business:

Having a clear set of personal values helps us build the credibility and trust that facilitate leadership.  The most challenging times for leaders are times when they must lead others into “the unknown”, leading innovation, and managing change.  Leaders who are clear on their values are able to persuade their followers to take a leap of faith and follow them into the unknown.   We are more inclined to trust people when we understand their values, and observe that their actions are congruent with those values, because we can reliably predict how they will act.
Clear personal principles give us a much stronger sense of our    personal “bottom line.” Knowing where we stand clarifies what we won’t sit still for. Our self-identity, self-confidence, and sense of security will be strengthened. Our principles will provide the stable and solid core we need to transform the rapid changes coming at us, from threats into opportunities.
Understanding one’s personal values is useful for time management.  Most of us have the opportunity–not to mention the encouragement–to do more things than we’ll ever have time to do.  Consequently, we need to wisely select the tasks that we’ll work on.  A clear picture of our personal values allows us to rank the tasks on our “to do” lists according to how closely each task is associated with what’s really important to us.
