A Samples of EBP Consulting Workshops and Training

THE ART OF NEGOTIATION

The Harvard Business Journal recently wrote, “Whatever your job title, whatever your company, and whatever your industry, you can always further your career by improving your negotiation skills.” In this workshop, you will learn and practice the “Art of Negotiation”. Improving your negotiation skills is a way of increasing your personal effectiveness – both professionally and personally. Specifically, Supervisors and Managers need to develop the skills that Corporate Management is focused on. Managers and their staffs need:
  • Improved relationships, services, and lower prices from vendors and suppliers
  • Increased cooperation between coworkers
  • Enhanced “dotted-line” reporting relationships
  • Better utilization of the company’s resources
In this interactive session, we will discuss and practice negotiation strategies: tactics and skills that will help you achieve better agreements with people inside and outside the company, and maintain productive relationships in the process. In the workshop, you will have an opportunity to apply your new skills to help you prepare for actual negotiations. Click here to request a course outline and additional information.

“SWELL, GROOVY, AWESOME, SWEET”: BRIDGING THE GENERATIONS AT WORK

The key to making communications, teamwork, and productivity successful between the generations is to both understand and respect the differences. The business owners and department managers who achieve this are positioned for success. Our formative years, the first 15 to 20 years of our lives define our generation. The state of affairs, the economy, news events, media, trends and fads all contribute to who we become, what we believe, how we communicate, and how we work. Understanding that there is a difference among the generations is crucial to working together successfully. It's not helpful for one generation to judge another, or to ask people from one group to conform to the expectations of another. Awareness is the first step to resolve conflicts and learning to adapt and work together. Companies and organizations that successfully bridge the generations at work enjoy higher morale, better productivity and increased profits.
