Description:
Experience the power of Passionholics!™ as Brian Norris, passion and positivity expert, shares his insights into creating and sustaining a positive work environment.
Rather than focusing on what's wrong, Passionholics™ looks at what's right with the organization and what every one can do, regardless of their title or responsibility, to make their workplace even better. It's a realistic, insightful, fun approach to discovering the silver lining in every cloud and realizing that by working together, we can all be winners.
The session begins with defining what Passionholics™ is and its potential impact within the organization. Personal responsibility is immediately addressed as participants develop their own mission statements and are challenged to review their perceptions of the organization, their colleagues and buyers.
These areas of growth and awareness are discussed as the group divides into teams. Each team makes suggestions on what can be done on a personal level to create the ideal working conditions.
Then, through team exercises, facilitation and candid dialogues, participants identify areas of opportunities and key strategies for strengthening communications, mastering professional relationships and heightening the flow of positivity.
A quick test measures where the organization ranks on the Passionholic meter based on nine criteria. You may be surprised to see just how high or low everyone ranks the organization!
Afterwards, we begin to review what individuals, teams, supervisors and leaders can do to bring the collective score higher -- without finger pointing or scape-goating.
Our lively discussions include:
* what passion is and how it can be used to create a more productive, more focused organization
* the power of personal responsibility, positive attitudes, teamwork, courage, ethics and gossip-free environments.
* seven reasons why Passionholics don't always get the attention they deserve
* how to communicate with passion and connect with colleagues, employees, employers, customers and loved ones
* a guaranteed formula for increasing pride, effectiveness and eliminating negative beliefs or actions
Participants are then introduced to five types of Passionholics, and the strengths and benefits of each is discussed. Everyone is at least one of these types of Passionholics and has the power to contribute in a unique way. Participants discover that within the organization, no one individual or department can succeed independently.
We'll discover how to stay in our Passionholic zones and avoid getting overwhelmed, discouraged, burned-out or trapped by potential obstacles.
Participants are then introduced to the "Cycle of Positivity" and clearly see how to make sure that they stay positive and constantly make a difference through their ideas, actions and perceptions.
The following session dives into the specific ways to cultivate positivity and passion in the workplace at every level. We review the tools and options available to the organization, teams & departments, employees, managers, supervisors and presidents or CEOs.
We'll spend the second session diving into such topics and concepts as:
* Self-talk & positive questioning
* Affirmations
* Effective policies and procedures
* Coaching
* The right way to build high function teams
* The effects of gossip and back-stabbing
* Peer-to-peer, team-to-team trust
* Modeling
* Entitlement Syndrome
* The Law of Reciprocity
* The power of empathy vs. sympathy or patronizing
* Resolution without 3rd party mediation.
Finally, we develop a game plan to assure that what we've learned is incorporated immediately to make the organization an even stronger, healthier, productive, profitable workplace for everyone.
Participants will leave inspired, more driven and more appreciative of what they have. Equally important, participants will be more appreciative of their coworkers and of their jobs.
