I believe in the universal language of music and the power of music to reach people at a level that is often deeper than the spoken word alone can reach. As such, it is typical for me to include music and song in my workshops.

~Ground Rules for Effective Communication 

Effective communication is critical, both in your personal and professional lives. Every day, we are challenged to ensure that we are communicating effectively. What are the specific behaviours that contribute to or hinder your ability to communicate effectively? An introduction to Roger Schwarz’s 9 ground rules for effective groups will be presented. These ground rules can be used in several ways:

Diagnosis: quickly identify ineffective behaviour

Teaching tool: set new expectations for how team members will interact with one another

Guiding behaviour: guide your work and increase your own effectiveness in whatever role you serve

~Overcoming the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team
Pat Lencioni wrote the field guide on teams! This session, based on ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ will walk you through the human behaviours that corrupt teams and provide explicit instructions on how to start to overcome them. Teamwork can be restored and maintained.

This session offers a model for thinking about how teams typically hurt themselves, and how effective teams succeed.  We will present ground rules for establishing trust, engaging in productive conflict, creating commitment, holding team members accountable and paying attention to the collective results of the team.

~Personal Accountability 

~Seeing Red Cars
How can you get more of what you want????

In this program, participants will be reminded that we get more of whatever we focus on. Many of us have a tendency to focus on what we don’t want, instead of what we do. Join us in this fast paced program as we discuss how to stop focusing on what we don’t want and instead, place our efforts on what we do!

By having a positive attitude and taking action, you will be motivated to move in the right direction for yourself and for the organization

~Service Excellence 
Not your average customer service session.....This session will connect you to your overall purpose and ignite a passion for service! What is your role in providing excellence in service? What power do you have to change the course of a customer's day? Do you see how your role is connected to the bigger picture? Whether you work directly with the customer, or behind the scenes, service is at the heart of an excellent organization. 

 ~True Colours

All of us have preferences as to how we behave, like to communicate and be in the world….which is great….in theory!!!! But how do we learn to work together effectively when people don’t see the world the same way we do?

True Colours © is a simple and fun method to help us understand and appreciate our own strengths and preferences as well as the strengths and preferences of those we work with.
