Fun Is Good - DVD

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

 

This highly motivational program takes you behind the scenes at Midway Field in Minnesota, where fun is encouraged daily. Visit a workplace where a costumed pig tosses out the balls, "ushertainers" serenade you in the stands and games are always sold out. See firsthand just how much fun, when combined with commitment, relates to organizational success and personal satisfaction.

Sure, a day at the ballpark might sound like a good time. But when it's your job, it can mean a fifteen-hour day of hard work, whether you're cleaning the bleachers, keeping the books or taking care of customers. How do they do it?

For the people who work here, fun is an attitude. An experience. It's why everyone from head groundskeeper to the president and co-owner is passionate about coming to work. Having fun on the job makes these employees more creative, more productive, and ultimately more satisfied. They don't take themselves too seriously. They treat each other with respect. And they make every day an event.

Key concepts in the video can bring this mindset to any workplace:

 

  • Discover Your Passion
  • Bring a Positive Attitude
  • Show People You Care

Program includes: VHS or DVD, Leader's Guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM with film transcript, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards. Bonus extended-cut DVD version of show included with either video format.

    Training managers and supervisors for their role in preventing and correcting harassment situations in the workplace is a critical concern for all employers.

Many other short vignettes and interviews are included to ensure that the varying types of behavior that constitute harassment are considered by the viewer. The realistic scenarios and engaging host commentary create an informative and fast-paced training experience.

    Best-Seller!

    Free Online Preview

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

    More Than a Gut Feeling III teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approach to interviewing. This method, developed by industrial psychologist Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. The reason is simple: The best predictor of a job applicant's future work behavior is their past work behavior.

    Viewers of More Than a Gut Feeling III will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques practiced by so many hiring staffs all over the world. You can refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by: asking rapport-building questions; discussing the job; taking notes and explaining why; asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers; allowing for silence if necessary; maintaining control; getting contrary evidence and evaluating. This video applies these techniques to the most common interviewing situations and helps you to refrain from judging the candidate on intuition.

    Pigeon-Holed in The Land of Penguins -DVD

    Free Online Preview

    This animated program tackles the tough subject of stereotyping in a delightful way by looking at some different "birds" in the workplace. It makes us do some soul-searching about the casual way we limit ourselves and others through stereotyping.

    We "pigeon-hole" others when we overlook their unique abilities, talents, personalities, and backgrounds. We do it to ourselves, too - when we impose limits and cheat ourselves of new experiences, challenging opportunities, and the fulfillment of our undeveloped potential.

    Though animated, this training tool is no flight of fancy. It's a critical component of training in today's changing workplace. Workgroups, committees, and executive teams will benefit from this program, as will any group interested in mobilizing the talents of all its members.

    PigeonHoled in the Land of Penguins will help team members recognize pigeon-holing, understand its high cost, and learn how to change the pattern. By tapping into the full creativity of everyone on a team, we open ourselves up to significant breakthroughs in innovation, productivity and team effectiveness.

    Participants will learn:

     

    • why pigeonhole-ing is so common
    • the consequences and high cost of pigeon-holing themselves and others
    • how to free people from pigeon-holes, allowing them greater freedom to create and contribute

    Stephen Covey's Lessons in Leadership Series - DVD

    Dr. Stephen Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, once again brings us an inspirational set of leadership training programs. The series breaks new ground, shifting the paradigm in ways that will surprise even the most seasoned leader. For instance:

    A Grander Goal takes a striking look at character, bringing to bear that which is at once the simplest and most complex: love and forgiveness. It's a story of how one man's unselfish character is providing direction for young unemployed men in Uganda. (11 minutes)

    Journey to Discovery tells the tale of a successful writer at a crossroads, a man questioning his life from a personal and professional perspective. Unable to write, he wanders the streets and finds the character he needs to once again take pen in hand. This heartwarming story (and its surprise ending!) will help your leaders rediscover the passion from which breakthroughs and innovations arise.(14 minutes)

    A Better Way offers a new approach to the concept of 'win-win.' It's an intriguing look at three South African retailers, each facing unique challenges to one common concern: increasing profitability. They find increased profits - and more - with customers, vendors and employees by simply shifting from an attitude of competition to one of cooperation. (15 minutes)

    Law of the Harvest provides an enlightening look at the true meaning of 'reaping what you sow.' Viewers meet a potato farmer whose story exemplifies that the technology and quick fixes many of us have come to rely on are no substitute for patience, perseverance and preparation(7 minutes).

    Throughout this series the lesson is clear: there is plenty in this world for everyone if we work with integrity, respect and cooperation. Each is an excellent stand-alone program; used together, they comprise a comprehensive multi-session training program.

    What distinguishes You Can STOP Harassment is its positive message. The programs in this series are not about pointing fingers and assigning blame. We all share responsibility for stopping workplace harassment. It isn’t easy work. The reasons for harassment are many and the roots run deep. Working together, however, we can make great progress toward creating workplaces where people feel safe, valued and free to do their best work.

    Program Objectives

    You Can STOP Harassment is intended to encourage employees, supervisors, team leaders and managers in public and private sector organizations to take responsibility to help end all forms of harassment in their workplaces.

    • what illegal harassment is and its impact at work
    • the need to support our co-workers in facing up to harassment
    • how to confront harassment to make it stop
    • how to defuse disrespectful or harassing situations
    • that not all harassment is intentional

    • the importance of modeling appropriate behavior
    • the liabilities managers and organizations face
    • how to handle a harassment complaint the danger of retaliation

    We recommend supervisors and managers view both programs in the series.

Decision making and goal setting are streamlined because everyone is working from the same understanding about what is important.

    • Improved Sales and Customer Loyalty - Clear messaging leads to a stronger brand. Consistency in messaging increases customer trust and loyalty.

    The essence of a brand lies in its consistency. This timely program gives much needed help to those who have been searching for an effective way to align the organization around a clear message despite ever-changing conditions.
