WORKSHOPS & TRAINING PROGRAMS

Clifton Strengths Assessment

With 34 distinctive talent themes, ranging from strategic thinking to relationship building, this assessment empowers individuals to recognize their authentic abilities and capitalize on them. Embracing a strengths-based approach, Mollie will work with your team to enhance self-awareness but also foster a culture of productivity and collaboration within  your organization. Its profound impact on individuals and teams makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to unleash their full potential and thrive in various aspects of life.

Leadership Development and Coaching

Rooted in the Co-Active Leadership Model by Karen and Henry Kinsey-House, this interactive program emphasizes the notion that leadership is not solely about a single person in a position of authority, but a shared responsibility among all team members. As a co-active leader, one recognizes the inherent potential and strengths in each individual and seeks to foster collaboration, creativity, and mutual support. This leadership style encourages leaders to step back when necessary and allow others to take the lead, creating a harmonious and high-performing team. Co-active leadership embraces vulnerability and authenticity, building trust and rapport with team members, and promotes a culture of inclusivity and shared ownership. By unlocking the collective genius of the team, co-active leadership unleashes the full potential of individuals and propels the organization towards success in a truly transformative manner.

Connections: Building Success One Relationship at a Time

Connecting – not networking! We should be connecting at a basic human level and building authentic relationships that go beyond networking which is done to land a new job or client. This workshop will guide participants through how to create your constellation of contacts and then turn them into meaningful relationships.

Respect in the Workplace

Respect in the workplace is not just a mere courtesy; it is the cornerstone of a thriving and harmonious organizational culture. Respect fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are embraced, and open dialogue is encouraged. It means actively listening to colleagues, acknowledging their expertise, and giving credit where it is due. Such a culture of respect empowers employees, promotes collaboration, and enhances productivity. This workshop helps leaders recognize and appreciate the strengths and differences of each team member, and create a sense of belonging and commitment that leads to improved employee morale and overall success. 

How to Interview

Interviewing is an artful process and interviews don’t start or end when recruiting candidates for employment. In this workshop you will learn how to engage candidates, qualify, and educate them, then assess them for fit in your organization. You will also learn the art of successful stay and exit interviews.

The Practical Coach

This motivational coaching tool offers sensible advice on how to care about each member of your team by suggesting three different ways to let your team members know their performance is important. Plus, leaders will learn how to implement the “2-Minute Challenge” model for keeping employees on track.

Helping Your Team Move from Good to Great

Moving your team from good to great requires a strategic and purposeful approach. Based on the proven methods in the book, Good to Great by Jim Collins, this workshop will help you examine how to take your organization from good to great and build results that last. Identify the principles to make your business great and develop specific initiatives to move forward.
