LEaD Lite

How to Easily Improve Productivity and Foster Collaboration – The Art and Value of Good Listening. How could listening possibly help us improve productivity and foster collaboration? While listening is often regarded as talking’s passive younger sibling, it’s actually the more powerful position in communication. Many of us have become lazy listeners because we feel overwhelmed by too many things to do and demands on our time. Along the way, we’ve allowed cognitive biases to inform our decisions and unwittingly given up control of a valuable tool that allows us to learn and grow every day, not to mention discern what’s most important to focus on. This program offers insights into the important skill of listening so that you can make better decisions, enhance professional and personal relationships and focus on what’s most important. You will learn practical ways to improve your listening and why it’s so important for you to do so.

How to Thrive (or at least survive) When Negativity Surrounds You at Work. We are faced with sad and bad news every day – the climate crisis, economic difficulties as we come out of Covid, the war in Ukraine and gun safety, to name a few. On top of that, our companies are facing hard times. During this LEaD Lite program, we’ll explore how to cope at work when “all the things” are bringing you down. We’ll also discuss strategies for keeping yourself optimistic in difficult times.
