Interactive Training Workshops

We never expected to be in the training workshop business. However, time and again we found our clients—no matter what their industry, size or location—facing the same problems. And too often those problems were a barrier to effectively carrying out an essential communications program.

This got us thinking. What if we could help our clients not just work around—but truly remove—the communication barriers within their organizations? So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

Today, we offer a training workshop program that is fully customizable to meet your organization’s unique needs. All sessions are built in a modular form, making it easy to mix-and-match the exact elements that work for you.

Here’s a partial list of the workshops we offer:

• Solution Focused Leadership (Click here to learn what SFL is all about!)
• Fundamental communication skills

• Communicating with a multi-generational workforce
• Communication and leadership confidence for women leaders
• Presentation training

We also offer one-on-one leadership coaching, train-the-trainer sessions, and workshops on PR and marketing basics for the small business owner.

We bring passion and enthusiasm to our training, which offers an engaging mix of real-life examples, multi-media, hands-on activities and group discussion. The tools, techniques and strategies we recommend are based on a combination of sound research and proven experience.

And to ensure the information we share is not simply acknowledged and then never thought of again, we provide all participants with an easy-to-use tool kit customized to their particular session.

If you don’t see a topic you’re interested in, give us a call to discuss how we can develop a special training experience to meet your particular needs. To begin planning your session today, call us at 410.667.1113 or email us at alr@bonmotcomms.com.

Solution Focused Leadership Workshops

What Michelangelo said about works of art is also true in the business world. Most businesses already have what they need to succeed. The key is accessing that potential. Solution Focused Leadership Management (SFL) is an innovative, strengths based approach that can help your organization discover its untapped possibilities.

Who benefits from SFL?

If your organization:

• Is having recurring problems that are impeding its growth…
• Hires quality people but gets mediocre results…
• Is successful but hasn’t reached its true potential…
• Is ready to grow, but is unsure which direction to take…

SFL can help.

How is SFL different from other management models?

Most of the time, people (and businesses) react to problems. They look at what went wrong and try to figure out why it happened. Sometimes this is an effective approach, but mostly a lot of energy is spent focusing on deficits, and creating an atmosphere of blame, negativity and stagnation. SFL, on the other hand, will help you look at issues from a completely new perspective. SFL identifies and builds upon successes already happening in your organization. This process avoids the pitfalls of negativity and promotes cooperation and creative strategizing.

What are the benefits of SFL?

Businesses using an SFL approach consistently report increased sales, higher customer satisfaction, higher worker satisfaction and higher worker attendance. Overall, this approach promotes higher productivity and a more cooperative atmosphere.

Who uses SFL?

SFL has successfully been used for years in the U.K., Europe and Australia and is now being used in Canada and the U.S. Some companies that have benefited from SFL include British Airways, Bayer CropScience, Lufthansa Cargo and the Ontario Medical Association.

What does your SFL workshop include?

Our dynamic, half day workshop teaches you the basics of SFL along with pragmatic techniques to:

• Create a detailed vision of positive change.
• Decide where to focus attention and resources to get there.
• Determine small steps on the path to excellence.

We provide attendees with an SFL tool kit geared toward your industry that includes tips and worksheets to help you put SFL principles into practice. We also offer follow up coaching to guide your progress and evaluate your outcomes.
