Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts - DVD

new.gif

Produced - 2007

Just one person speaking up can inspire others to do the same.

Free Online Preview

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:

  • Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said.
  • Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes.
  • Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.

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

Communication is the foundation for everything we do in the workplace. It happens every day, all the time. This program identifies the seven communication breakdowns most likely to undermine organizational success, and gives tips on how to avoid them.

Even more importantly, employees aren't provided with the knowledge and skills to help them avoid the frequent communication problems that arise. The good news is that the most common communication potholes in the road can be easily spotted and avoided.

Illustrated in this program are Seven Common Communication Breakdowns:

  • Believing there is one reality
  • Choosing the wrong method
  • Responding defensively
  • Failing to share information
  • Failing to be direct

  • Failing to listen

What to Do When Conflict Happens - DVD

new.gif

Produced - 2007

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

What causes the most stress across ALL occupations? The interpersonal conflicts we all experience on a daily basis - with coworkers or supervisors. Give your employees a memorable, easy-to-implement tool to resolve conflict.

Rather than a complicated model, What to Do When Conflict Happens introduces:

  • C - CLARIFY the issue
  • A - ADDRESS the problem
  • L - LISTEN to the other side
  • M - MANAGE your way to resolution

What makes the C.A.L.M. approach unique is the first stage - CLARIFY, where employees step back and think. They rationally examine what's happening, why it's happening, why they feel the way they do, and what they need to keep in mind as they address the issue.

Program includes: A 21 minute VHS or DVD with bonus segment, Leader's Guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM, 10 participant Workbooks, 10 copies of the book What to do…When Conflict Happens and 10 Reminder Cards

Everest - DVD

new.gif

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.

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 Leader’s Guide to Delegating - DVD

    new.gif

    Produced - 2007

    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

    The Balance Sheet Barrier - DVD

    Featuring John Cleese and Dawn French

    Free Online Preview

    The light-hearted approach of this world-famous video helps take the fear out of financial documents and complex concepts, and although accounts might never become a manager's favorite topic it does at least make them understandable.

    Using the device of contrasting the apparent worldliness of a well-educated company director and the business acumen of the streetwise owner of a small factory, we're shown how the whole process of business finance works. Because the success or failure of her manufacturing company is down to her, she knows the importance of understanding how money goes round the business and how to track and measure it - and she's happy to explain it in everyday language.

    Having been previously too embarrassed to admit his lack of knowledge, her grateful pupil learns the difference between key documents and the significance of the balance sheet, profit and loss accounts and cash-flow forecasts.

    The benefits

    • Assumes no prior knowledge of finance
    • Well-presented and structured video that ensures all managers understand how key financial statements are calculated and what they mean
    • Imaginative use of graphics to emphasise key points
    • Financial jargon is avoided in favour of everyday language
