Engage Employees to Become Part of the Solution 

We filled this agenda with value-adding content!

Check out our lineup of content. We'll include discussions, examples, practice, guides, and so much more!

Understanding Performance and how it works...

We'll cover competencies, goals, and the need for alignment among employees, teams, departments, and your organization.​

Why They Don't Perform...and how to fix it. 

People don't perform for one of four reasons. We'll cover them and introduce the Performance Pyramid. We discuss the manager's role, foundations for success, and reasons managers fail at performance (and how to avoid them).

Feedback and Coaching

A major part of the process is continuous feedback. We'll teach effective methods to maintain ongoing communication.

Tough Conversations / Corrective Action

We dive into having tough conversations, guiding them for success, and helping employees who stray from the path.

Appraisals and Professional Development

We introduce proactive performance appraisals, talent development, and how to create a success culture.

How Is This Workshop Different?

It's About Value

You get hands-on practical solutions to implement right away. We provide best practices that are time-tested and proven. These are not just great ideas. They work. We also don't just talk about them. We provide you with the concepts and then apply adult learning theory to make sure you get the opportunity to practice what you learn. From there, you are sure to have the tools to not only know what you've learned but to have the ability to implement the new tools when you get back to work the next day. 

Looking for a New Approach?

  • Help your employees achieve more.

  • Set goals that matter and achieve results.

  • Understand the role of strategic plans, operational priorities, and tactical initiatives.

  • Learn to drive year-round performance that motivates and drives engagement.

"I saw results the very next day"

"I decided to set aside my skepticism and implement the game plan I set during Dr. Wade's training session. I applied just one tool we had covered, applied it to one area of my business, and said 'what the heck?' I started with simply clarifying expectations and delivering feedback using the model we practiced. It worked. All I can say is that it worked. Employees responded well, engaged in conversation, and made changes. It changed everything."

-Stacie, Finance Director

You'll spend the session with Dr. Wade Larson. With 30 years of leadership, workforce, HR, and consulting expertise among 100s of companies, helping 1000s of leaders and employees to transform their careers and optimize performance, he brings both theory and practical experience to help you achieve your best.

His background includes organizations both large and small coming from the private and public sectors, many industries (most recently in manufacturing and higher education), as well as experience serving on non-profit boards. As a college professor over the past 25 years (including WSU), he has also engaged in research and teaching in leadership, HR, and organizational studies. This mix provides a well-rounded approach to guide participants to setting and achieving their personal and professional goals.

Your Program

Chances are that you've used some kind of performance management system. But has it worked? Maybe - maybe not. Regardless, chances are it could have been improved.

​

This workshop takes your current experience with performance (or no experience) and helps you to understand how to enhance your outcomes immediately. We focus on enhancing the following areas to achieve success:

​

  • Purpose: When everyone understands and aligns with the reason why you are doing what you do, it's easier to motivate everyone to achieve your goals.

​

  • Planning: Failing to plan is planning to fail - so we give you the tools to do it right that helps you to expedite your success.

​

  • People: Getting your people aligned with organizational goals accelerates the achievement of your goals.

​

  • Performance: Applying principles of effective performance management can help you achieve more in less time - as individuals, teams, and the organization.

​

  • Profitability (outcomes): No matter your organization type, you need results. We teach you how to get there faster.

​

  • Progress: Continuous process improvement helps you to progress forward and increase your outcomes year after year.

​​

In the end, you gain new tools, skills, and a game plan that is ready to implement the day after you get back from training. The ROI is pretty fast on the investment of your day.

So...Why the Value Pricing if You Offer So Much?

The first question we get when we roll out a new program is - "How do you offer a program like this at such a low price? It's worth at least 10x that amount!" We know, and we will eventually get there. However, even though we have taught performance for many years, this is the first time we have packaged it this way. 

​

Thanks to our sponsor - Paylocity - we could keep our ticket prices own to make it affordable for you.
