The world changes, when we change our perspective.
In this seminar you will explore negative attitudes and how they affect you and your organization. You will learn to live and work more effectively in an environment where the phrases “that can’t be done” or “we’ve tried that before and it didn’t work” are commonly heard.

“This class provided me with great tools in dealing with teams each day. Not only was the instructor extremely knowledgeable but also did an excellent job of ensuring the class remained engaged and focused throughout the session.”

“I gained a lot of valuable information that I can immediately apply not only to my job but in my day-to-day interactions with others. She shared a lot of her own experiences and taught the class how to recognize and how to deal with our individual personalities and how to interact with others. My “ah-ha” moment: I learned about a specific medical condition that affects how people interact or deal with others. This was the most important lesson for me personally and I am looking into learning more about this condition.”
Curtis Haynes, Service Training Manager, Berry Material Handling, Wichita, Kansas
“This is one of the first times that I have attended a program where I felt so comfortable and relaxed. The group activities all were fun and informational. I especially like the fact that she didn’t just read her PowerPoint presentation. As she went along she added more information, and gave more in-depth information through the use of real life situations.”
Terri M. Lillback, Tramco Inc., Wichita, Kansas
“I enjoyed attending a training class that was directed towards managers and the fact I could interact with managers from other companies that deal with the same issues we do.”
Andrew Schrader, Foley Equipment Company, Topeka, Kansas
“Great reminder that we are not all perfect and can continue to grow!”
Jaci Katz, Project Manager, Integra Technologies, Wichita, Kansas
