We can help

You Are Unique!!

As a business leader you face a unique set of circumstances. While the challenges we all face may carry similar tones the solutions we bring must be shaped by our unique distinctions, perspectives, talents, and abilities. As we seek to do more with less, the road to improved effectiveness is best when we leverage individual strengths, wellness, and empowerment in overcoming our uniquely challenging world.

Diagnose Before Prescribing

With our web based needs assessment, The Effectiveness and Overload Gauge™, each individual is given the chance to assess his or her individual needs and request needed help. The detailed consolidated report is the leadership tool to direct  the limited resources to gain the greatest benefits by answering key questions:

• Do my staff feel empowered to be the best they can be?

• How effective is our collaboration and communication quality?

• What is the level of meeting overload among my team members?

• How much time and effort is wasted in non productive meetings (Virtual or personal)

• How does my staff feel about e-mail overload?

• Are my team members able to focus or are they victims of counterproductive interruptions and distractions?

• Do we suffer from information clutter?

• Are we able to harness the culture of urgency or is it creating undue stress?

• Which organizational group can best benefit from:

  • The Overcoming Overload Workshop

  • The Overcoming Meeting Overload Workshop

  • The Overcoming E-mail Overload Workshop

• What training content can bring the greatest value?

• Who are the individuals or groups that can most benefit from such training?

 NOTE: This graph is based on  actual client data.

Results Speak Louder than Words

About 8 weeks later we e-mail each participant an invitation to re-take the Effectiveness and Overload Gauge™. In return the system automatically e-mails each participant a detailed line by line report comparing the before and after score. Reflecting on his or her personal progress and change over 8—12 weeks is a strong motivation for ongoing improvement.

As the sponsoring leader we e-mail you a consolidated progress or change report confirming the average group change or improvement. This is your visible and objective indication of a positive return on investment.

How Does It Work?

The Effectiveness and Overload Gauge™  is a simple seven minute web based survey.  As a sponsoring leader you invite your organization to a web page where they use their specifically assigned project code. In return for their input participants are e-mailed a confidential, personalized assessment report with helpful tips and comparative benchmark data. On the basis of this they each can define their personal need and request the training that best suits them.

As the sponsoring leader we will provide you with a consolidated report that:

• Answers the who, what, why ,and how much questions that you must have before making critical training decisions

• Gives our recommendations for the optimum training mix and content

• Estimates the potential benefit by job category

• Highlights potential return on the time and cost  invested in our training
