This no-nonsense, Power Skills workshop teaches all members of a project or organization how to grow their personal value and team contribution. It is likely one of the most valuable 1/2-day or 1-day training investments that you can bring to your organization. Bold statement? Judge for yourself! It may very well be the accountability, inspiration, and encouragement you have been looking for.
This workshop is available in two versions: 7 hours and 4 hours. It is also available as a live virtual experience or in-person. The first section below addresses the 7-hour version; afterwards is the 4-hour version.

This workshop identifies the most important Power Skills to master on projects and in the workplace to promote accountability and perform at your best.

But if you choose to strive to be the best version of you, this workshop and the book from which it is derived can serve as a valuable mentor that you can return to for advice, encouragement, and inspiration for years to come.
Power Skills include soft skills, people skills, behavioral skills, and personality traits that come into play virtually every day. You are fully accountable for your ultimate success and this workshop promotes accountability and demonstrates how to think and act to achieve the success you most desire.
But this workshop does far more. It describes Power Skills that, if taught and nurtured to all employees of an organization or company, can result in the organization continuously, holistically, and positively evolving. Adopting these Power Skills can lead to exceptional performance both for individuals and for their organizations.
The Power Skills discussed include manage daily to your top three priorities, break the rules occasionally, never avoid necessary confrontation, think for yourself, routinely practice boldness and courage, make decisions as if you own the business, decide who you chose to be, be a good actor, and so much more.
The Power Skills include those that are day-to-day foundational, Power Skills for collaborating within your team, and Power Skills for interacting with your leaders. Power Skills give you the real power to get your job done effectively and efficiently. It places the accountability for your actions squarely on you.
