Know Your Self to Be Powerful (KY2BP™)—And Use Your Power Well™
Designed specifically for kids (adolescent through college-age) who sense the importance of personal leadership, who are curious about what it means to see themselves as a leader, who want to know who they are and what they stand for, and who have a desire to move powerfully into young adulthood in a structured, safe and courageous environment. This workshop series is facilitated by a certified coach, in the company of peers and with parent/guardian support where indicated andor required.  Each series (1, 2, and 3) comprises 6-8, two-hour sessions, typically conducted weekly (timing, duration and frequency can be negotiated to fit specific, local needs).  The primary series incorporates a modified version of the “Core Work -Out™” used in adult, one-on-one coaching and includes the “Personal Mapping System™.” Participants learn, experience and practice core coaching, interpersonal and leadership skills. KY2BP™ encourages self-awareness, self-confidence, self-responsibility and self-maturity and helps to prepare these kids to be better and stronger leaders in their own lives and, as a result, in our communities. This program is designed in a series, to be taken in order.

Just One Thing (JOT™)—Focus and Go Deep™
Missing the passion and purpose in your office or team? Looking for an antidote for burnout on a long project? Time to refocus? Have members of your team “quit and stayed” and are they taking the team down with them?  This two-part program ignites work teams and/or groups (for profit, not-for-profit) to rejuvenate their work. You’ll revisit your collective purpose, clarify roles and responsibilities, design accountability, redesign communication practices, learn the importance of celebrating along the way, and recover the motivation and inspiration needed to succeed—all the while producing the desired results.

Part 1: Brainstorming and Clarifying Core Issues
Fully immersed in an experience of deep democracy, team members are challenged to identify operating assumptions, key patterns and themes, core behaviors, and the perspective the team has been in. You are guided through fierce conversations and encouraged to intentionally choose new perspectives. An action plan is developed and hot issues identified during the process are documented, referred and tracked for specific “off-line” follow up.

Part 2: Interpersonal Communications Training
By learning and practicing one key relationship-building skill at a time, every team member will build stronger interpersonal and leadership skills, immediately applicable to relationships of all kinds, from the corporation to the kitchen. This work is not about thick binders, long lectures or too much time away from the real work. It’s about laughter, light bulb moments and learning through fun, repetition, relevance and practical application—just one skill, just one thing, at a time.

Core skills emphasized:
Defining a shared purpose, agreeing on roles and responsibilities, learning how to play your position, developing accountability structures, brainstorming, naming arcs (beginnings, middles and endings), identifying issues and opportunities, establishing agreements, goal-setting, asking powerful questions, checking assumptions, acknowledging v. complimenting, giving and receiving actionable and useful feedback in a way it can be heard, and listening on various levels.
