On May 17 and May 20, we are hosting two open enrollment management skills workshops.  Jointly sponsored by the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, these events are open to any member business' management team.

To enroll, please click on the banner above or call Rachel Johnson at 214-603-0655.  The offer is limited to owners or general managers and their teams.

The management skills workshop is a preview of the Bullet Proof Manager® program.  We want you to test drive the program before you buy!  For you, that means there is no risk of purchasing a program that's not right for you. 

A second benefit is that your managers get to preview the program before they buy.  They have a voice in the training they get to participate in; so there are no "prisoners" in the program, only enthusiastic participants.

This fast-paced, interactive session produces new insights and value for your organization.  Our clients report that the ideas generated in just this 2½ hour session pay for the entire program.

We start out with a brief description of the program and then ask this question, ‘What is the biggest challenge you have in managing the people who report to them?’  By the end of the workshop, each attendee will have a specific, written, action plan to address their challenges.

We then ask participants to rate themselves on ten core management competencies.  It's interesting to see if what the team says about themselves is what everyone else would say. Following this we ask them to identify their greatest strength and the areas they would most like to improve. As you know, people tend to do their best when they feel they are good at what they are doing. This exercise has helped many of our clients realign their activities to match their managers’ strengths. 

If you hired an industrial psychologist to come in and figure all this out, they would charge you several thousand dollars, take a week or two to get all the studies done and then hand you a 72 page report with pie charts. We get essentially the very same results in just a few minutes with your management team. The value to your organization is huge.

The Bullet Proof Manager® program is a video based, live facilitated training program.  The Management Skills workshop uses video excerpts and class exercises taken directly from the regular program.

How to Connect featuring Nido Qubein

Nido Qubein is the owner of three successful corporations. He is the past president of the National Speakers Association, he served on the board of directors of a $100 Billion Fortune 500 Company, and has written more than a dozen successful books. He currently serves as the President of High Point University.

Nido talks about how to connect better and avoid resistance when communicating. All the latest research states that over 70% of the employees that quit their company don’t actually quit their company … they quit their boss. The biggest reason is that we as leaders fail to connect with them. ‘Connecting‘ is one skill that separates the best leaders and managers from the rest. Following the video excerpt, we will conduct a powerful exercise.  The exercise helps your managers remember forever, that many times people have a tendency to resist when we try to lead them. Nido’s exercise helps us to better understand how important it is to connect with our internal customers.

Improving Customer Service featuring Lisa Ford

Lisa, considered by many to be the number one Customer Service authority in the world today, will show us how to connect better with our ‘external customers

We all know, that at some point, someone on our team will make a mistake.  Lisa Ford’s research shows that 10% of our customers will remain loyal to us and continue on as a client, no matter what. This leaves 90% of our customers vulnerable to those mistakes.  So the question is not whether a mistake will happen, the question is whether or not our team knows how to recover from that mistake. 

After Lisa Ford explains ‘The Six Steps to Recovering Customer Loyalty,’ your managers will leave with a six step system that can be put in place immediately to solve future customer service issues. 

Involved Recognition featuring John Hersey

The final session we will conduct for your team features John Hersey.  By the time he was 28 years old, John Hersey was the Senior Vice President of a one billion dollar bank. Today he is one of the most sought after consultants in the world on topics such as Recognition, Productivity and Profitability. For years, managers have tried to figure out a better, faster, less expensive way to motivate employees. John Hersey has come up with the answer to this critical issue – and his answer is, ‘Involved Recognition.’

Following his excerpt, we are going to have your managers participate in an exercise that will dramatically change how they motivate and lead their people. We will leave your managers with a five step process for recognizing your employees that will allow them to provide the positive feedback they are so desperately seeking

The last thing we do is to have your managers complete a Personal Action Plan. They will have several great ideas from this workshop.  We want them to pick one idea. There’s a saying, ‘It is impossible to chase two rabbits and catch one.’ So we want them to pick just one idea. Then we have them determine how they are going to use that idea and when they are going to start. Next we want them to list three benefits that using this idea will provide to the company … one is a non-financial benefit … one is a revenue producing benefit … and one is a cost savings benefit.

Once they have completed their own Personal Action Plan, we show them our complete list of topics and ask for any questions. All of this takes a little less than three hours.
