Stepping into Emotional Pressure, with Dr. David Dahl

Navigating emotional connection can be tricky—you need tools to help.

Join us to learn specific techniques for effectively noticing and handling this pressure. This approach is grounded in knowing oneself, determining a balanced stance in the emotional system, and then taking it on.

We walk participants through the process of identifying their emotional pressure, and understanding how to work with it. The outcome is a sense of clarity, alignment, and relief at having a defined road forward.

"In trying to explain my difficult problem to Paul, his curiosity about the problem gets me to see it from a completely different perspective. While thinking about answers to his questions, I discover new insights about the problem.”

Trouble with a talented employee.

In this short talk I tell of my own experience of Stepping into Emotional Pressure with a member of my team. He's a valued part of the team, and yet is clearly unhappy and is talking of leaving. What do I do? Placate? Argue? Or something else?

Listening As a Leadership Tool, with Dr. Eran Magen

As a leader you've been told countless times the value of "listening." But from experience you know that there's more to listening than just "sitting there." How--and why--do the best leaders listen to their teams? What are the key skills to really getting results from the time invested in listening? And what do you do with what your people tell you?	"Paul gave me clear guidance on what I need to focus on to be a successful leader. Using real-life leadership examples, he helped me understand what is theory and what is reality." Ravi Kuchibhotla Senior IT Analyst Biopharma, Inc.
In this hands-on workshop you'll get coaching on specific tools, along with real-life practice in leadership listening. We'll also walk through several examples of where listening worked--and didn't--in high stakes leadership situations, and come away with best practices you can start applying immediately.

Building Connection with your Team, with Robert Brennan

Leaders intuitively know that they need to be connected with their teams. Such teams work well together, share information effectively, and get things done. But how does a leader establish such connection?

In this workshop, we give a clear framework for connected leadership, and introduce practical tools for building it. Participants get hands on practice in using these connection tools, plus ongoing support to apply them.

We have several versions of this workshop to fit your needs. For more information, contact us.
