1.Creative
Conflict Management:
Moving From Black & Blue To Getting Along
"Flexibility
is what keeps you alive."
-Clint Eastwood
It’s
one thing to understand that conflict can be productive and that it may
lead to creative solutions as well as a greater understanding of others.
It’s quite another to actually deal with confrontations, remain
calm, remain objective and understand or value another person's point
of view.
Although you probably realize that the creative, constructive handling
of disagreement is an important part of effectively working in any organization,
it can still be difficult to do. Improving your skills in managing interpersonal
differences can enrich not only your career and work relationships, but
also your family life.
You will
learn:
• How to handle an upset person
• What factors contribute to conflict
• To identify behavior patterns that keep you
from addressing conflict constructively

Self Talk = Self Image = Success
What Is Your Brain Telling You?
"Get out of that slow lane. Shift into that fast lane.
If you think you can’t, you won’t.
If you think you can, there’s a good chance you will.
Aim low: boring. Aim high: soaring."
-United Technologies Corporation
Success has
a great deal to do with your beliefs about who you are and what you can
accomplish. If you don’t acknowledge the possibility of success,
your own efforts can work against you. It is important to understand the
connection between physical, psychological, and interpersonal effects
of negative and positive attitudes.
To make it in the workplace and in life you need more than a specific
set of skills. You need a quality that successful people have in common,
a belief in yourself. It’s important to identify some ways you currently
talk to yourself and modify them if they’re negative. Take time
to think of the "oughtas, shouldas and gottas" you tell yourself
all of the time. One key to raising your self-confidence is the willingness
and ability to learn from both negative and positive experiences. You
can learn to shift your thinking and turn negative self-talk into problem
solving self-talk.
You will
learn to:
• Assess how you view success
• Judge importance of optimism
• Be aware of the relationship between self-esteem,
personal effectiveness and success
• Recognize that self-talk and self image,
are a self-fulfilling prophecy
• Overcome anxiety about success
• Embrace the principles for success
• Identify factors that influence personal effectiveness
• Be aware of the challenge of listening to yourself
• Recognize self-defeating behaviors

3.Working In White Water:
Navigating Change In The Workplace
"How did I get here? Somebody pushed me. Somebody must have set
me off in this direction and clusters of other hands must have touched
themselves to the controls at various times, for I would not have picked
this way at all."
-Joseph Heller

4.The
Stress Bone's Connected To The Head Bone:
Creating An Optimistic Work Environment
"When a comedian uses humor you ask "Is it funny?"
When you use humor in the business world, you ask "Does it work?"
-Unknown
The role
of humor as a stress reducer cannot be overestimated given today's climate
of corporate calamity. There is growing recognition in business today
that something as seemingly frivolous as humor can actually promote productivity
and cohesion within an organization.
Job stress interferes with objectivity and clouds business judgment. Laughter
not only is good medicine, it is also good business. Because laughter
and play have been shown to relax tense people, humor may be the ultimate
weapon for combating job stress and preventing burnout. Research has shown
that the positive emotions such as hope, faith, love and laughter have
a positive effect on your health. By directing your comic vision inward,
you can change your perception of stressful situations and secure a degree
of momentary calm.
Humor, used judiciously, can help you maintain the perspective necessary
for successful decision making. Humor principles can be taught and workplace
health is likely to improve as a result. Don't leave the positives to
chance! Build humor into your daily work environment and reap the benefits!
You will
learn to:
• Manage stress associated with an ever-changing
work environment
• Diffuse resistance to personal and organizational change
• Promote problem solving, creativity and brainstorming
• Realize the importance of optimism in the workplace
• Utilize techniques to break down barriers to communication

environment

5.Seven
Seconds To Your First Impression:
You Never Get A Second Chance
"Think not of yourself as the architect of your career but as the
sculptor. Expect to have to do a lot of hard hammering and chiseling and
scraping and polishing."
-B. C. Forbes
Did you know
that people make decisions about your credibility, your social standing,
you effectiveness during the first 5 to 7 seconds after they meet you
for the first time? Communication, verbal and nonverbal, is happening
all the time. You send silent, non-verbal messages through your dress,
face, gestures even the kind of car you drive. Effective communicators
understand and manage the process to make it more predictable, and to
get them the results they want.
Communication is a skill. It is totally learnable. It takes work, but
the results are worth it. If you are trying to make a good professional
or social impression, you can improve the message you’re sending
by adopting a positive, confident communication style. You can change
your self-perception, enhance your image and learn how to unplug anxiety
and stress in business or social settings.

• More effectively communicate in presentations
and personal interactions

6.How
To Convince People
You Know What You’re Talking About:
A Guide to Improving Presentation Skills
"How long should a speech be? As long as it’s good. As
soon as it stops being good, it should end."
-Soundings
Open mouth.
Insert feet. Do these four words describe your typical style of speaking?
You have come to the right place. Every single second of every single
day, someone somewhere is saying something that may come back to haunt
them. At this very moment, words are flying out of someone’s mouth
and landing awkwardly or embarrassingly on the ears of some listener.
There is a myth that great presenters are born, "not made,"
that somehow certain people have the innate ability to stand in front
of an audience with no anxiety, and give a dynamic presentation. That’s
just an urban myth. People who are considered great speakers usually have
spent time developing and practicing their skills. Learning to be a better
speaker is similar to learning any activity. It takes mastering the skills
and continued practice in a variety of settings.
Being confident and successful as a presenter enhances your chance for
success and promotion within your organization.
You will
learn to:
• Properly plan and prepare effective presentations
• Interpret and apply information about
of non-verbal communication on
• Analyze the audience
• Create an environment for successful and optimal learning
• Apply principles of adult learning
• Make use of techniques to relieve "Presenter's Nerves"
• Create, utilize and understand the importance
of effective visual aids

9 to 5:
Tips For Managing Job Stress
"Heavy thoughts bring on physical maladies; when the soul is oppressed,
so is the body."
-Martin Luther, Table Talk
Seven out
of ten workers experience stress-related illness often, roughly three
in ten have thought about quitting because of stress, and another three
in ten say their work is the single greatest cause of stress in their
lives.
Sources of job-related stress may include your attitude toward the job
and whether you believe your work is meaningful. Additional job stress
may come from: time management, conflicts with coworkers or problems balancing
work and personal life.
Stress often gets a bad rap. Stress is neutral. The only body with no
stress is a dead one. Stress can keep us healthy, keep us on our toes,
motivate us, keep us challenged and keep things interesting. The trick
is not to get rid of stress, but to manage it to your advantage.
You will
learn to:
• Recognize characteristics of the stress hardy person
• Determine what is important to you
• Be aware of internal messages
• Analyze internal messages for validation
• Value flexibility
• Manage job stress positively

8.Preparing
For The Possibility of Workplace Violence:
A Planning Guide for Your Workplace
"Winging it is a form of shooting craps—gambling that, prepared
or not, you’ll be able to handle whatever turns up..."
-Frank. K. Sonnenberg
Business
ranked workplace violence as their top concern for the third straight
year in the Pinkerton Security Issues Survey Report. Fifty-six percent
of workplace homicides occur in retail trade and service industries.
Violence is occurring more and more frequently in our country. We often
hear that this increase is the result of the easy availability of guns
and other weapons or violence shown on TV and in the movies or the increase
in drug and alcohol abuse. Whatever the reasons, the fact is the workplace
is often the site where this violence takes place. Few, if any organizations,
businesses (small or large) are exempt. These guidelines will serve as
a framework around which an organization can develop specific policies
and procedures for dealing with the types of violence that most often
occur in the workplace.
You will
learn to:
• Execute an personal and organizational strategic
plan for responding to a violent incident
• Write a zero tolerance policy
• Recognize characteristics of potentially violent individuals
• Appraise your own skills as a crisis manager
• Assess the your readiness for handling a potentially
violent individual
• Define management’s role in training employees
about workplace violence potential and procedures
