When the Coach is You! - DVD

Govenment & Healthcare Version also Available!

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

These days, coaching isn't only the responsibility of the manager. Any team member may be called upon to coach a coworker. This video walks viewers through the practical steps to increasing success for coaches and learners in any organization. You'll visit an accounting office, a factory and service center as workers resist and stumble through the coaching process, finally learning to create positive outcomes.

This important training tool explores the perspective of both coach and learner. You will watch purchasing administrator Wes try to move Peggy from one-on-one vendor ordering to an online purchasing system. His incomplete coaching results in an ordering snafu on Peggy's part. Ultimately they learn to work together to make the coaching process successful.

In the factory, shop foreman Michelle enlists Hector to help a coworker increase productivity. Hector's not too keen on losing his own time on the line but in the end sees that teaching Arnold what he has learned over the years not only improves his coworker's skills and efficiency, but increases the entire shop's productivity.

At the service center, veteran service representative Todd is none too pleased to have a freshman rep assigned to coach him on calls. His defensiveness and stubbornness make it difficult for him to take Vicki's suggestions but Vicki's coaching allows him to see how his technical proficiency could be balanced with a greater sensitivity toward client needs.

You will watch the evolution of these encounters, skipping from one scenario to the next as each pair illustrates the skills necessary for successful coaching.

Includes: 18 minute DVD or VHS and Leader's Guide

Who Cares? - DVD

Government Version also Available Free Online Preview

“Customer service just isn’t what it used to be.” That statement can’t be supported with statistics but not many people would argue it. The GOOD news is that organizations offering EXCELLENT customer service now have a greater competitive advantage than ever before!

Who Cares?, the new training program that can play a critical role in giving your organization just such an advantage! We’ve identified and illustrated the four simple but critical cornerstones of excellent customer service:

  • Greet the customer
  • Respect the customer
  • Listen to the customer
  • Really help the customer!

In reality, most customer service representatives really do care. But they often neglect, or fail to remember those basic behaviors that send that caring message to your clients. It’s also too easy for them to forget the important role they play in your organization’s success. Who Cares? provides both the information and inspiration your staff needs to provide winning customer service.

Program Synopsis: An engaging host provides narration between a wide variety of realistic and thought-provoking customer service scenes. The viewer is reminded to put themselves in the customer’s shoes as “wrong way” and “right way” service examples are provided. Retail, hospitality, food service, banking and government settings along with man-on-the-street commentaries provide an informative and fast-paced training experience.

Program Includes: A 21 minute DVD or VHS video, comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Who Cares?, handbook and leader’s guide.

This program is a 2 DVD set that includes the following programs: 

Harassment & Diversity: Respecting Differences — Manager Version (20 minutes)
As a manager, you have a responsibility to keep your workplace free of any form of harassment. In this popular program, an office “comedian” uses his coworkers’ race, religion, and age as the basis of snide comments that no one else finds particularly funny. An emphasis is placed on the various types of harassment—other than sexual harassment—that can violate company policy. Learn how to investigate when discrimination occurs, and how to protect the rights of all involved.

Harassment & Diversity: Respecting Differences — Employee Version(16 minutes)
Your employees need to know that they are just as responsible for maintaining a harassment-free office as you are. Things like inappropriate pictures, jokes, emails, gestures, and touching can create a hostile environment where protected characteristics become targets. Get employees to see that certain behaviors can be interpreted as offensive. Once they know exactly what will and will not be tolerated, everyone can work together to ensure that your diverse workplace operates on a level of respect and understanding.

Drop By Drop - Subtle Discrimination - DVD

Free Online Preview

Who said you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff? What if those small things undermined morale and reduced productivity? This diversity program, Drop by Drop, demonstrates how the small slights, subtle discriminations and tiny injustices can add up to big problems in your workplace! These little negative gestures are called “micro-inequities” and they occur in organizations every day. These small communications of disrespect, prejudice and inequality aren’t overt, but they can be incredibly destructive. A poison in the workplace that isn’t delivered in a bucket, but takes its toll drop by drop.

The program opens with an unhappy ending – the resignation of a frustrated employee. We then explore the workplace responsible for creating this situation. The program’s host engages and challenges the viewer with his strange perspective on our insensitive behaviors. He walks us through several examples of micro-inequities that could easily be avoided and then shares the key concepts for creating an inclusive and productive work environment: Put a stop to the disrespectful little “paper cuts” co-workers unknowingly inflict upon each other. Raise awareness and emphasize the importance of maintaining a thoughtful and respectful workplace with Drop by Drop.

Key Learning Points:

  • CONSIDER: Listen, empathize, and follow the “platinum rule” by treating others as they’d like to be treated.
  • RESPECT: Show regard for all races, religions, cultures and ages and value the talents each person brings to the workplace.
  • LEARN: Be open to information about different cultures, customs and perspectives of your co-workers. Learn to communicate with kindness and clarity.

Includes: A 19 minute DVD (English and Spanish versions – many also include Portuguese), comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Drop by Drop Handbook

The solution comes surprisingly from a jar of Legos and some unconventional advice. They provide him with the direction he needs to begin sharing leadership and fostering everyone's potential.

Package Includes: 19 minute DVD or Video, 28 page comprehensive training leader's guide with reproducible worksheets. DVD contains PDF version of leader's guide and supporting PowerPoint graphics. (Guide and PowerPoint files also available as a download.) DVD is subtitled.
