AT WORK
As an employer, you know that your business cannot function without your employees. But can you imagine just how well your business would function if each and every one of your employees were functioning at their highest capacity? If they were motivated and engaged, generating new ideas and eager to try new things? If they were excellent communicators with the skills to constructively handle conflict on their own? Our At Work services provide training and coaching that result in exactly that.
Based on Dr. Helen Richardson’s innovative model (at right), workshop and coaching participants come to see that:
- Work is meaning and purpose.
- Work is a relationship.
- Work is both personal and professional.
- Work is life energy.
With this new mindset, participants re-discover their own strengths and limitations, and then master new skills that enable them to maximize their professional success and personal satisfaction. To learn more about our At Work services, click any of the links below.

Employee Development
Our most popular At Work service, employee development, focuses on designing customized programs that help meet strategic goals, build bench strength, and develop your available workforce. We help employees develop the skills they need to overcome barriers and to fully invest themselves in their work and the success of your business. We help employees take ownership of what is happening in the workplace and feel empowered to make change, resulting in:
- Improved communication and cooperation, and thus stronger teams
- Better problem solving skills and enhanced productivity
- Stronger levels of engagement and interest in taking on new tasks
- Constructive conflict resolution and ability to leverage differences
- Higher levels of trust and reciprocity at all levels
- Fewer missed deadlines; reduced employee turnover and burnout
- Increased desire for formal education and training
Our most sought-after workshops include: Kick Start Your Career, Team Building and Values Clarification, Conflict Management, The Power of Three: Core Communication Skills for a Multicultural Workplace, Essential Skills for Workforce Development Professionals. All workshops are customized to meet your organizational needs and budget.
Leadership Training and Coaching
This service focuses on customizing training and coaching to maximize the effectiveness of existing leaders and tapping into the potential of emerging leaders. Often times, employees are promoted into leadership positions because of their tenure and subject matter expertise. But time and expertise do not necessarily involve strong leadership skills. Our leadership training:
- Builds core inclusion skills critical for building relationships and effective teams
- Teaches how to leverage creativity, risk taking and decision making for enhanced organizational performance
- Provides organizational culture analysis for alignment with personal values
- Increases self awareness to connect leadership behavior and impact on teams and organizational goals
- Demonstrates competence through a customized project to demonstrate: strategic thinking, project management, ethical decision making, self development and people development.
The result? Emerging leaders develop the skills they need to excel and existing leaders transform into exceptional leaders.
Our most popular workshops include: Supervisory Skills Training, Leadership for Organizational Effectiveness, and Leadership in Action. All workshops are customized to meet your organizational needs and budget.
Executive Coaching
This service focuses on providing executives with insight into themselves as leaders, as well as into the impact of their leadership style on their organization. We then help these individuals learn how to cultivate a thriving, productive culture of success and satisfaction for each employee and the organization as a whole. With our executive coaching service:
- Renew your perspective on how you lead
- Increase self-awareness to capitalize on your strengths as a leader
- Learn to identify and prepare emerging leaders
- Strategize for programs to develop others, leverage diversity
- Internalize the impact of leadership on employee engagement and retention
- Make the connection between emotional intelligence, results and organizational resiliency
Individual and Group Career Coaching
This service focuses on helping individuals and small groups identify their skills, talents, and interests, as well as any roadblocks to achieving satisfaction and career success. We propose a perspective about work that is deeply empowering: work is a relationship. Just like any other relationship, work requires us to know ourselves well, to be proactive, to be excellent communicators, to have empathy, to take responsibility for our choices, to hold ourselves accountable, and to ultimately decide what is healthy and right for our own lives.
This service helps develop this new mindset and translate it into concrete actions that improve your work/life balance and re-establish priorities for education and training in times of transition or change. Individual and Group Career Coaching can help you:
- Understand your unique personality, talents, and interests
- Analyze work from the perspective of individual beliefs and values
- Recognize situations that take or give positive energy
- Reframe stressful situations and effectively resolve conflicts
- Position yourself for meaningful, fulfilling work
