Strategies for Making Hard Decisions

(Expert level, Decisiveness): We’ve designed an executive level course that probes the requirements for making well-calculated, intelligent decisions resolutely and without taking extreme amounts of time by being indecisive and unsure. Attendees will learn multiple guidelines for thinking proactively and consequentially. We’ll encourage them not to excessively rehash good decisions to the point of becoming immobile due to a lack of confidence. Speed and promptness are integral to the overall training. First, they’ll be taught the principles of good decision-making in diverse situations and even while under great pressure. Over a period of 16 hours they’ll be challenged with dilemmas of various levels in complexity and difficulty. Each additional real-life equation they encounter will build on the previous challenge. Each time they run into an obstacle or setback, they will be encouraged to rethink each portion of their decision to see if a little tweaking is necessary. If they need more than that they’ll decipher a new route that will accomplish the end result. The decision-making process will yield a more skilled and confident approach when they’re evaluating outcomes. Becoming more decisive in their approaches will yield more confidence and speed of logical thinking.

Everything You Need to Be Decisive But Were Afraid to Ask

Introductory level, Decisiveness: This a foundational level course that prepares you to take on challenges. It sets the framework by prepping you with a step by step builder’s plan for successfully making decisions. You’ll learn to analyze weighted outcomes and strategically consider consequences. This seminar prepares you for new challenges, both at work and in your home life. The benefits of this presentation involve being proactive, empowered, accountable, responsible, and being authoritative at work and in your own life. The more frequently you make sound decisions with agility and deftness, the more second-nature it will become. Too many are hesitant due to fear and angst because they worry about the outcome. Indecision paralysis can be brought to a halt once we learn to gather info, analyze consequences and make strong decisions.

DEVELOPING THE MENTOR & Coach WITHIN

Good workers aren’t just sources of productivity for organizations; they can also become valuable to other team members through mentoring. Mentoring is an ongoing process that empowers others through information, instruction and reproduction. The intricate process is a combination of coaching, leading and encouraging. It’s a delicate balance that requires selflessness and a real understanding of the human equation. This class covers: the 8 key steps to becoming excellent coaches and mentors: understanding your protégée; providing an outline of objectives; giving them a standard for measuring success; the process of accountability; communication; criticizing effectively; demonstrating character; and keeping people on track to a goal. Mentors must have something of value that is worth reproducing in others and this course helps you develop that.

Averting & managing risks

Many smart workplaces have learned the value of helping their workers and supervisors practice flexibility based on reason and discernment when managing risk. Our seminar helps attendees with problem-solving; use of discretion to mitigate circumstances; apply knowledge, experience and good judgement; and practice independent initiative when resolving risk and managing suitability. We’ll explore which circumstances require caveats that are better resolved with extenuating conditions attached rather than just an immediate yes or no. This gives the risk manager leeway to make future evaluations and changes that could bring a runaway train back to its tracks.
