Attention Training Managers: Teach Your Staff and Managers the Secrets to Cultivating Passion and Positivity in the Workplace!

Ego.

Negativity.

   Poor Communications.

Apathy.

Fear.

   These are the things that rob our organizations and jobs of their joy. These are the things that can make life a living hell for you -- EVERYDAY!

  Instead of leading, managers are forced to spend more and more time playing the role of firefighter, baby-sitter, referee and parent. When that happens, shifts fall apart and customer service erodes. People distrust each other. Deadlines get missed. Sales and operating revenue go down.

  Fortunately, there is a better way: Passionholics™. Created by renowned positivity expert Brian Norris, this powerful one or two day training program teaches attendees to focus on what's right with the organization and what every one can do, regardless of their title or responsibility, to make their workplace even better.

  Passionholics™ helps you to improve your systems and lead your people without micro-managing or resorting to Flavor-of-the Month management fads (that only lead to more skepticism and lower morale).

  The Program delivers a realistic, insightful, easy-to-implement approach to capitalizing on opportunities, turning around "we can't do that" thinking, rebuffing negativity and building successful teams.

Objectives:

  • To improve communications in the workplace

  • To decrease activities that lead to low morale, fear, distrust, turnover and apathy

  • To increase your productivity, profits and ability to retain the respect of your employees

  • To help participants to benefit collectively from their diversity, strengths and unique talents

  • Encourage individuals, teams and leaders to focus on what's "right" as opposed to what's "wrong"

  • To help organizations to cultivate a positive, supportive atmosphere where passion thrives and people communicate with each other without malice

  • To give participants permission to accomplish their personal and professional goals and to experience all that life has to offer

Description:

   The session begins with defining what Passionholics™ is and its potential impact within the organization. Personal responsibility is addressed as participants develop their own mission statements and are challenged to review their perceptions of the organization, their colleagues and buyers.

  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

  Passionholic personality typesParticipants 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
  • Devloping realistic affirmations
  • Effective policies and procedures
  • Coaching and mentoring strategies
  • Building teams without ignoring the need for individual praise and recognition
  • The effects of gossip and back-stabbing AND SOLUTIONS
  • Peer-to-peer, team-to-team trust
  • Mirroring and 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 have the skills to do their jobs more consistently and with greater pride, increasing your profitability and making your job more rewarding.
