The high points were the breakout discussions, self-reflections, and, of course, Kendra's candor throughout the workshop. It was engaging and interactive which made it much easier to come out of the workshop feeling empowered and pleased with having learned something

Management Excellence
New and developing leaders gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in this interactive workshop.
Great managers know that what made them successful in past positions isn’t necessarily what will fuel success when managing others. From effective one-on-ones to addressing performance concerns, we cover the “how to” and the “what if” while gaining tips, tools, and templates for optimized leadership.
Respectful and Inclusive Workplace
Does everyone in your workplace have the opportunity to thrive?
In this workshop, we examine foundational behaviors that fuel a culture of respect and inclusion. Without judgment, we navigate current, real-world scenarios to consider how a few misdirected words can lead to unintended consequences. We discuss challenges in today’s workplace while considering power dynamics, relationships, and intent. Participants learn a practical discussion model that fuels conversation rather than conflict and explore microaggressions and unconscious bias.
Leading in a Respectful, Inclusive Workplace
When leaders are intentional about fostering respect and inclusion, the entire organization reaps the benefits.
As stewards of the organization’s culture, leaders have a significant role in preventing and navigating behaviors that marginalize people and derail engagement. In this workshop, we focus on setting the foundation that builds a healthy culture. Through an interactive exercise, managers will consider how lived experiences inform perceptions, learn a respectful conversation model to help address concerns, and navigate common workplace challenges in small group discussions.
Coaching for Peak Performance
Leaders with a coaching style effectively motivate and develop their team.
With a shift from transactional to coaching leadership we actively foster an engaged culture where people can thrive. In this workshop, we learn the characteristics of a coaching leader, share coaching best practices, and learn how to use a simple coaching model to drive meaningful and actionable discussions. With a focus on supporting others’ success rather than directing actions or doing it yourself, participants learn how to engage team members while creating lasting developmental partnerships.
Interviewing with Impact
Are you leveraging interviews to explore not only a candidate’s ability to do the job, but also whether they can be successful in your organization?
Great interviewers gain insights into the candidate’s priorities, competencies, and values while providing a positive brand experience. In this workshop, we deconstruct traditional interviewing approaches to build a foundation for solid hiring decisions. From developing questions that draw out critical information to navigating slippery slope areas that can lead to legal risk, participants gain confidence and effectiveness. A complimentary Swift HR Solutions Interview Guide is included.
Fueling Organizational Accountability
Accountable organizations benefit from higher productivity, engaged staff, and a culture of continuous improvement.
In this workshop, we explore the impacts of low and high accountability and the critical leadership competency of holding others accountable. We connect the dots between strategic objectives, a shared vision of success, effective execution, and transparent metrics. Participants examine the SMART goal model while solving challenge exercises that reflect common challenges in the design and management of individual and organizational goals.
Leading Teams Through Change
All change is personal…
Whether launching a new system, implementing new policies, or driving a restructuring, knowing how to lead others through change is key to success. In this workshop, we learn a simple change management model and apply it to a recent or current change within your organization. We examine how structured, transparent communication and answering the “what’s in it for me?” brings others along by acknowledging the personal side of change. Participants learn to anticipate, recognize, and manage resistance to change to support optimal outcomes.
Clear and Meaningful Feedback
If feedback is a gift, why are we sometimes reluctant to share it?
We may view feedback as a corrective action that can result in conflict. In this workshop, we frame feedback as a critical investment in others’ success. In setting expectations, empowering others, and providing clear feedback, we fuel professional development and engagement. Attendees will learn an impactful model for constructive and appreciative feedback as well as best practices for navigating the challenges inherent in providing feedback.
Survive and Thrive in Times of Change
Successful change occurs when people align towards shared goals.
Change is constant in today’s work environment. How we handle it is influenced by lived experience, self-awareness, and our ability to navigate resistance. In this session, participants build an increased awareness of the personal experience of change. In this workshop, we journey through the 5 phases of successful change and practice 3 skills to support productively embracing change. We’ll consider communication strategies that support engagement and alignment towards a shared goal. Handouts include reflection and assessments that elevate self-awareness and fuel agility.
Creating Meaningful SMART Goals
Fuel personal and team accountability in your organization.
This workshop highlights the importance of personal accountability in reaching individual, team, and organizational goals. Team members learn how to develop clear, meaningful goals that align to the organization’s mission and fuel its priorities. Using the SMART goal model, we design, assess, and edit goals to make them most effective. Then, we identify the challenges often faced in the goal-setting process and learn how to address them. Goals matter. It’s time to take a fresh look at how we can leverage them to drive individual engagement and organizational success.
