Training Programs with Descriptions
Identifying and Untying the KnotsTM to Change
Organizations stagnate if they do not change in response to changing marketplaces, new technologies, and evolving customer and
workforce expectations. Leaders must be flexible and agile in the face of change. Leaders must adapt to change, manage others
through it, and be champions of change themselves. This session will provide your executives, and mid- to upper-level managers
with a fresh practical road map of how to adapt to and lead change within your organization. It's designed to put them on a path
to identifying and untying the toxic knots of change that are on there way to your organization before change takes place, or already
plaguing and troubling your organization after change has been implemented.
This training program focuses on the challenges of leading in a changing world, exploring:
- The dynamics of change and reasons for resistance
- How to help your team succeed in the face of change
- Strategies for influencing others to support new initiatives
- How to be an initiator of change, rather than a reactor
- How to engage a team’s energy, motivation, and creativity
Conflict Coaching
This session will provide you with an understanding of the conflict coaching process, techniques of conflict
coaching, and methods for successfully integrating conflict coaching into an ADR (alternative dispute resolution)
process. Conflict coaching provides disputants with the skills they need to communicate effectively with each other

disputes at the lowest level possible with the least number of external people involved. Conflict coaching
accomplishes this by encouraging direct resolution between the two disputants. Special Features: Participation
in mock coaching sessions, including professional critiquing and skill pointers, will help you fine-tune the skills
you learn.

yourself, your staff, and your organization not only to head off problems, but also to rise to a level
of service excellence.

your boss and your work environment. The result: you will gain the practical know-how you need—and the confidence you want—to
plan, organize, coach, motivate, delegate and communicate in order to be an effective manager.
Putting an End to Procrastination and Poor Time Management
The success and optimal performance within any company is based on the proactive abilities of all
employees. The two most common performance sabotaging problems found within many companies today are:
Procrastination and Poor Time Management. From the executive leaders down to the front line employees,
people are reactive rather than proactive. Rather than acting towards long-term goals, they react to
external pressures. Ty will teach participants how to reverse this process. Through stimulating and
interactive participation and analysis of their own data, participants learn a set of tools which they
can apply on a continuing basis. In this high-powered working session, you will identify and begin the
process to overcome procrastination and poor time management issues—once and for all. Proven time
management, prioritizing, organization and proactive skills will help employees on all levels to
determine how much time, energy and resources are needed to get their tasks and projects done—much sooner
then later. In turn, putting your organization on track to meet and exceed its set goals and strategic plans due to optimal performance and momentous proactive efforts.

Sales — Live It! Love It! Profit!
Selling has never been easy. Today, it's tougher than ever. Budgets are tight, the competition is fierce,
and the decision too often seems to come down to price. Despite the difficulties, some reps consistently get
the leads, make the calls, and close the deals. They aren't worried about whether they'll make their sales quotas.
That's guaranteed. This dynamic, high-energy session is designed to explain and teach new and struggling sales
reps the techniques, approaches, and skills that separate the top 5% of sales reps from the pack. New or
struggling sales reps walk away from this with everything they need to take their own sales to the next
level and reap the returns they always hoped a sales career could provide. If you're tired of seeing your new
and struggling sales reps struggle through cold calls with little success, if they spend too much time on
accounts that go nowhere, or if you wish they could close more deals faster—bring Ty in to present this
session NOW. You, your company, your new sales reps, your struggling sales reps, your sales goals, and your
bottom line will be glad you did!
