Every business article touts the value of networking to build sales,
secure clients, and become a part of the community. Yet we all grumble
at the thought of it. Rooms full of stuffy suits with not a familiar
face in sight...rubbing elbows...schmoozing!
Say goodbye to those networking myths - networking is no longer
about swapping business cards and snapping off sales pitches (maybe
it never was). This interactive workshop will teach you to network
with success, build relationships and mine the best resource you
have - people!
Participants will learn:
- to set result-focused networking goals
- what is at the heart of networking
- where to network most effectively
- how to initiate contact
- to communicate clearly and directly
- to follow up with a concrete plan
This class will motivate you to move from pitching to interacting...from
waiting to initiating...from schmoozing to connecting! Hundreds
of professionals have used this process to increase their confidence
and their networking results!
Ideal for: Entrepreneurs, Managers and employees in every industry
(especially sales).
What’s included: Handouts for all participants with valuable
tips and information that they can use during the session, personalize
to their goals, and take home with them.

level. The time is now - bring order to your chaos!

FROM GOOD TO GURU…
Building a Stellar Team! ©
Structured as a 1, 2 or 3 day program. The 3 day version is outlined below.
You’re already a GOOD team! Now how do you make the leap to GURU? Are you ready to be challenged to be more innovative, action oriented, and connected? This series offers break out sessions, brainstorming, and full group discussions to generate new ideas and business practices while building a whole new level of trust. Lively activity breaks, interspersed throughout the event will keep the mind and body fresh. Rhonda will challenge and coach the team to make the important decisions that need to be made, culminating in a concrete action plan with timelines and commitments from those responsible for key deliverables.
First day: Really get to know each other and create a clear vision of who we want to be as a team.
- Look inward:to identify priorities, expectations, strengths and respect
- Look forward:what does our team/corporate vision mean to each of us?
- Initiate the leap:how can we better accept and initiate change?
We’ll end Day 1 with fun, interactive, team-building games.
Second day: Delve into communication and conflict resolution to deepen our connection.
- Communicate to connect: clear, direct, respectful and without assumption
- Resolve conflict: early and directly to enhance effectiveness and enjoyment of the job
The quality of our relationships dramatically impacts the quality of our lives.
Third day: Create concrete and attainable goals for the team as we leap from good to guru!
- Make the leap: lead change within our team with empowerment and innovation and leveraging strength
- Create our action plan: with built-in accountabilities that target excellence, not perfection!
This will not be a ‘standard workshop’ where the manual sits on the shelf and no action unfolds!
Each team member will leave the room with clear tools to use the very next day! We will communicate more smoothly, initiate change more easily, and each embrace actions that shift us from efficient to effective. Prepare to leap from good…to guru!
Ideal for: Teams of all sizes where members work directly or indirectly with one another.
