MOTIVATION, COOPERATION AND ENGAGEMENT: REACHING FOR THE NEXT LEVEL

 
Unlike most motivational programs that do little more than explain the "why" of human behavior, this program shows you the "how." You will learn specific communication skills to inspire productivity in others, build their trust, fuel their accomplishment, and assure their peak performance … especially in changing times. Thousands of people in dozens of organizations have benefited from this program, and their feedback says these skills work! When you give people the care they need, they produce the results you want. The objectives for this program include: (1) learning to avoid practices that erode motivation; (2) learning to generate lasting enthusiasm in others; (3) mastering a communication system that brings out the best in others; (4) practicing feedback strategies that improve work processes, boost performance and change unproductive behavior; (5) learning to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in the workplace; (5) learning to increase employee investment in organizational success.
