Effective decision-making is a critical building block for achieving the results you deserve and desire. This workshop is ground-level instruction for starting the process off right. Do you find yourself making a decision, only to re-work that same decision over and over again? Or do you make decisions easily and then find they just don’t stick? Explore ways to understand and articulate your decision making style so that you can keep the whole picture in focus while making major changes. Find out if you are a decision maker who operates from the heart, the gut, or from a spreadsheet -- or all three! Discover how to make these different modes of operation work to your benefit each and every time. The model and techniques you will learn can be applied to both your personal or professional life to achieve the results you want. This is available as a 1 hour talk or a 3-hour training that will leave with tips and tricks to leverage success for your very next decision!

This talk looks at balance in a non-traditional way and explores interactively, and with the help of some tools, what being in and out of balance might look like. It also presents some ideas for moving towards balance. In our professional and personal lives we are constantly making trade-offs. We make small ones like what events to attend, who to talk to, what foods to eat; and larger ones like what job to pursue, what projects to take on, what communities or organizations to join, and where to take up a leadership role. The need to rebalance is sometimes uncomfortably forced on us by external circumstances like a company merger, a project shutting down, a personal health challenge, or the death of a family member. Sometimes the need to rebalance comes from your own insights, or the lessons you or your team have learned by working together. Balance is much more than just time management. While time management is important, it only accounts for how your time is spent. It doesn't speak to the more important issue of what you are doing with that time and where it is taking you.

Leadership is about effectively moving towards something you want for yourself, your team, the world or your family, and shifting resources to make that happen. Leadership is about change. All women are natural leaders in some part of their lives, and sometimes in many parts. Each individual woman’s leadership style is as unique as the individual and her situation. Women in general have an inherently different approach to leadership, and your individual approach can help or hinder you. Leadership, as a skill, can be developed and strengthened, but must be grounded in reality (what “is”) and analysis (what is “needed”). This session is intended to spark thoughts and new ideas about women’s leadership in general, and as it applies to you. Come learn what top speakers and various researchers on women and leadership have to say. Discover qualities of some top women leaders in the world that you may also have! Explore your leadership qualities by using a tool to measure leadership style, and in fun and interactive discussion!

Using the right models can add scope and depth to your written materials, presentations, and coaching. Models are powerful tools organizing chaos and confusion into ideas and thoughts that resonate with the viewer. For the more visual learner, models can provide the concrete anchor and structure needed to complete the circuit for how they learn and understand.
This talk will interactively explore models and the benefits of models. We will create a sample model from a real life case study and view several others from a wide variety of systems, such as sales success, women and leadership, job cycle, decision-making and a successful coaching business. These models can be used for you or your clients. Several tools will be introduced to help you create your own model.

If your computer files, email and other information is in a confused or disorganized state, you may be experiencing virtual clutter. Virtual clutter slowly and without limits can creep up take over! It has some unique characteristics and similarities with those piles of stuff called "physical clutter" that you might have in your office or home. Virtual clutter knows no physical boundaries. Both virtual clutter and physical clutter typically have triggers to signal that it is time to organize. Spend an hour exploring virtual clutter. Learn what it is and how it is similar to and different from physical clutter. Everyone has unique ways of creating virtual clutter and a different tolerance for it. Organizing virtual clutter is not black and white like the technology it resides on. It's gray and waiting to be organized in a way that works for you. We will discuss steps to help you become more efficient, and your virtual information more accessible.
