Produced - 2007 Just one person speaking up can inspire others to do the same. What do you do if someone you care about is the target of demeaning stereotypes? What if you are being demeaned or stereotyped? How often do you speak up on behalf of respect? This new program, based on the book by Leslie Aguilar, can be used for training on Diversity & Inclusion, Communication, Teamwork and Leadership. Why is OUCH! important? Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing. What Does OUCH! do? In a unique and powerful way, viewers will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt. OUCH! Learning Objectives:
Program includes: 12 minute DVD or VHS video, Speaking Up Activity 5 min., OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts with vignettes 13 min., CD-ROM with Leader's Guide, Powerpoint presentation, 1 OUCH! book and 10 OUCH! reminder cards
 New Release Featuring Mike Krzewski Produced - 2008 Mike "Coach K" Krzyzeswki belives in the power of words - words that can change lives and make individuals, teams and organizations successful. Mike Krzyzewski grew up in Chicago, where his mother cleaned floors at the Chicago Athletic Club nearly every night from 11pm until 6am, and his father was an elevator operator at Willoubhby Towers, a Chicago skyscraper. When Mike was starting high school, his mom said, "Life is going to change for you tomorrow. Make sure you gent on the right bus." Mike soon realized that his mother was talking about much more than finding the way to his new school... Due in large part to his mother's simple but powerful words of advice, Mike Krzyzewski became the legendary Coach K, the highly successful basketball coach at Duke University and Coach of the U.S. Olympic Basketball Team. In "Get On The Right Bus," Coach K shares his philosophy of the power of words, explores the powerful words that have motivated and inspired so many individuals and teams, and encourages you to find the specific words that will change your life and give your team the winning edge. Program includes: A 16 minute DVD and "Get On The Right Bus" playbook.

This compilation DVD helps build that understanding. Containing four stand-alone videos plus two meeting openers, this set provides real-world examples of "average" people who did small things to focus and motivate others toward significant accomplishments--many times under trying circumstances. Built from materials used in various FranklinCovey leadership workshops, these videos have contributed to the development of thousands of leaders worldwide. The stories will remind your team that they too can lead and bring about real results no matter what the situation may be. Trim Tab A "trim tab" is a small rudder built into the big rudder of a ship, which makes it easier to change course. Similarly, in organizations, one small change effort can be the catalyst for bigger changes. This was exemplified by Madeline Cartwright, a school principal. After rolling up her sleeves and implementing small but symbolic solutions, she inspired staff, students, and parents to turn the school around.

After trying various methods, Jim hit upon the secret to motivational and revenue-producing success: Get each department to make one small improvement at a time. Emma Brandon When she assumed supervision of a psychiatric facility, Emma Brandon found a staff that was simply "going through the motions".

Named One of the Best Training Programs in 2007 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.
