How To Really Achieve Your Goals - DVD

Nearly all companies and individuals say goals are important. Whether they are sales goals, production goals, personal finance goals, or weight loss goals they are deemed important. Yet many times we set our goals without much real thought. "Our new sales goal is to increase last year's sales by 10%." Why? Maybe it should be 20%. But without any real thought no one is really sure.

In this new DVD training program you'll learn:

  • Why it's important to set accurate goals
  • How to set goals so they mean something
  • The GRASP IT goals achievement system
  • Why planning is critical to both your business and personal life
  • The six key elements to change

"Decide upon your goals and then set your mind, body and world into motion. As a worthwhile being, you deserve success. Demand it. Require it. Insist upon it," says Blackman.

Divided into segments, this DVD is perfect for group training or may be used for individual instruction. This how-to training program comes with a DVD, CD audio and goals-setting booklet. It is a must for any individual and organization. (Length: 35 minutes)

A Leader’s Guide to Delegating - DVD

Produced - 2007

Free Online Preview

 

This course is also available for online training, see details below.

What’s every top manager’s secret to success? In a word: delegate, delegate, delegate. But getting work done through others can often be difficult because it inevitably involves a loss of control. This program outlines a solid process for delegating and gives valuable insight to both new and experienced managers.

Delegating responsibility is a dance - a delicate partnership between manager and subordinate involving trust, authority and above all, communication. Brand new managers find delegating to be the hardest part of transitioning into the new role – while many experienced managers still struggle to get it right years after assuming a leadership position.

This training program provides a plan for successful delegation, presented in five steps:

 

  • Analyze the Task: Get specific about what needs to be done to achieve the goal. This includes setting a deadline and sizing up resources.
  • Choose the Right Delegatee: The right candidate should be highly motivated and possess the needed skills for the assignment.
  • Assign the Task: Give clear instructions on desired outcomes – down to the details like resources available, deadlines, follow up steps and the amount of authority being given.
  • Execute the Task: During the task, ensure that other team members are ready to support him/her by communicating the assignment and the authority given.
  • Conduct Regular Feedback Sessions: Monitor issues so they don’t become problems, and give the person opportunities to ask questions about the assignment.

Effective delegation accomplishes more than just the task at hand. It also builds trust for future delegations, helps employees develop new skills, reduces managerial stress and improves organizational productivity.

Program Includes: VHS or DVD, Facilitator’s Guide, CD-ROM with PowerPoint Presentation and a pdf of the Delegatee Checklist, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards

Named One of the Best Training Programs in 2007

Free Online Preview

Climbing Mount Everest is hard. Climbing Mount Everest blind is ... impossible. Or at least that's what they told Erik Weihenmayer. This incredible true story follows Erik's quest to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world - and the amazing team that made it possible.

Erik Weihenmayer has never believed in limitations - even though he is blind. And he's good at questioning other people's perceptions of his abilities. That's why it was easy to ignore the ones who said he was crazy to pursue his dream of climbing Mount Everest. Erik knew that he couldn't do it alone. And here's the key - he never wanted to. He knew that his vision could only be achieved through the power of teamwork.

Remarkable, yet unfathomable, Everest is essential for anyone who has ever worked on a team -- or is responsible for making teams strive to reach higher performance goals. Unlike any other training program, Erik's journey vividly illustrates the weight and significance of teamwork and leadership at a most crucial time.

Team interviews and footage from the actual climb help viewers learn about:

 

  • Choosing the right people
  • Keeping the goal in sight
  • Banishing ego
  • Understanding sacrifice
  • Discovering your inner leader
  • Finding joy in the success of others
  • Overcoming immense setbacks
  • Believing in the dream

Viewers see the amazing things that are possible when people work together as a cohesive team.

Includes: 14 minute DVD or VHS video and discussion guide.

A Grander Goal - DVD

Sometimes the lessons we most need to learn are found half a world away, in lands far different from our own. This is the case with A Grander Goal, a training program offering a profound shift in our approach to leadership.

A Grander Goal brings to bear that which is at once the simplest and most complex: love and forgiveness. It is a striking look at character illustrated by one man's unselfish desire to be a role model and provide direction for young unemployed men in Uganda. War-torn, strife- and poverty-ridden, Uganda is rife with directionless young men who haven't the means to continue their educations nor any prospects for work. Americans Michael and Laura Timmis help these young men put together a soccer practice, which, in turn, brings them Stone.

Once a star member of Uganda's professional soccer team, Stone's professional career ended abruptly after a knee injury, which was intentionally inflicted by another player. But Stone holds no bitterness. He simply tells his opponent, 'You did what you had to'. It is this selfless forgiveness that permeates all he does and sets the stage for the boys he mentors to learn important lessons about their lives and choices.

Viewers of A Grander Goal learn to:

  • identify the characteristics of transformational leaders
  • examine the power of mentorship and map it to their organization's needs and goals
  • explore the agents of change
  • recognize the impact of individual choice when addressing difficult situations
  • ...and more.

A Grander Goal is a profound look at the power of character from Dr. Stephen Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Includes: A 11 minute DVD or VHS video and leader's guide.

    EXCEL - Managing to EXCEL - 12 Workshop Series

    Excel is a collection of 12 half-day off-the-shelf workshops, each dedicated to the development of a single critical competency. Each workshop is detailed below. These 12 competencies group in four distinct clusters:

    Administrative Cluster: Managing Your Job

    Communication Cluster: Relating to Others

    Supervisory Cluster: Building the Team

    Cognitive Cluster: Thinking Clearly

    Review all workshop training topics

    Development of the MAP/Excel Competency Model

    Dr. Scott Parry, founder of Training House, Inc. and 1999 inductee into the HRD Hall of Fame, developed this competency framework by first analyzing the results of a series of large competency studies conducted by a number of major U.S. corporations. These studies were conducted to determine which competencies highly effective managers and supervisors possess to a greater degree than average performers. The 12 competencies selected for inclusion in the Excel series were identified by all these studies. They are fundamental building blocks for becoming an effective manager and are preconditions for effective leadership.

    INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD

    The instructional design of the Excel workshops is based on several important principles of adult learning, -- the most important of which is that learning occurs best when it is related to past experiences and current goals.

    Learning Objectives for each competency focus on the attainment of new knowledge, attitudes, and skills. These behaviors are learned, practiced, displayed and evaluated during training through experiential activities that include hands-on exercises, role plays, script analyzes, games, and self inventories. Learning objectives support a central behavioral model for successful mastery of the competency.

    Action Plan:

    Every workshop participant creates an individual action plan shared with their managers, work team, and stakeholders. This is the vehicle for transferring learning to the workplace. The planning focuses on performance criteria: the application of competencies to organizational problems and situations. Excel has been designed to provide training that leads to “terminal behavior change” or in layman’s terms, learning that will be applied on the job.

    Instructional Materials

    Each Excel workshop includes:
     

    • Instructor’s Guide: The Instructors Guide bases the detailed lesson plans and content on learning objectives. Participants interact in activities and discuss information presented in the workbook.
       
    • Power Point Presentation: Slides provide the instructor with an easy-to-use, flexible way to liven lectures and discussions.
       
    • Video: Short video segments from MAP, the number one video based assessment in the world, are used to illustrate the 12 Excel competencies in use on-the-job. The (MAP), Managerial Assessment of Proficiency was developed concurrently with Excel to assess a managers strengths and weaknesses in these 12 competencies in addition to providing information about a manager’s personal style, communication style, and managerial style. Film sequences show managers using both incorrect and correct techniques related to the Excel competency. Participants evaluate and discuss the techniques observed.
       
    • Participant Workbook: Workbooks provide learners with additional lesson content, as well as experiential activities, handouts, and action-planning forms required to complete the course. Participant booklets for each workshop are sold separately for $20 each.

      Train-the-Trainer: A nationwide network of professional Training House Associates is available to deliver Excel workshops or provide training for your internal training staff.
