TOPIC DETAILS
Corporate
Communications Coaching
Knowledge is power, and your organization's formal or informal Knowledge
Management system can help you identify who your organization's
knowledge "powerhouses" are. What your KM system can't do is prepare
your professionals to transmit critical institutional knowledge
to others in a comprehensible, compelling, and engaging manner.
There is no substitute for a deeply knowledgeable professional in
your organization -- and there is no greater value to your organization
than a highly knowledgeable professional who can dynamically and
clearly convey institutional and technical information to non-technical
audiences -- both internally and externally. The power of knowledge
is only as robust as the number of people who can benefit from it!
This session can be conducted for both groups and
individuals, and is highly recommended for professionals who will
be teaching in Corporate Universities, speaking at conferences,
hold interviewing or orientation responsibilities or speak about
organizational issues to the public.
In these sessions, participants will learn:
- Basics of formal and informal communications
- Using scripted, extemporaneous and impromptu communications
- To analyze and address technical and non-technical audiences
- To work more effectively with regional and foreign accents
- The art and science of word selection
- How to maximize vocal abilities and minimize vocal challenges
- Body language that enhances communication
- How to building and maintaining trust through audience-appropriate
messaging
- To engage in continuous feedback loops with audience during
presentations
- Basics of neuro-linguistic programming
- Using A/V and materials to boost impact rather than distract
Special areas of focus may include:
- Presenting in your organization's Corporate University
- Speaking at conferences (both within and outside your industry)
- Communicating for your organization's orientation program
- Information transmittal in the supervisory relationship
- Interviewing skills
- Communicating with the media
See "Public Speaking/Speechwriting"

making techniques, we can get to critical issues while maintaining
positive and productive energy. And of course, we can effectively
handle difficult behaviors while gaining buy-in and commitment for
action
We also can train someone in your organization how to do this too!
Think Fast!

sessions (such as Customer Service, Conflict Management or Presentation
Skills), Like all Elevated Training modules, Think Fast! sessions
are completely customized to meet your training objectives and to
reflect of your company's unique interpersonal and organizational
culture.
Advocacy
and Social Action
Regardless of issue, results-based advocacy and social action require
both a clear strategy and the right tactics within that strategy.
These sessions help you look both outward (setting objectives, determining
your audience, crafting your message, selecting messengers, and
practicing delivery) and inward (exploring resources, identifying
gaps, embarking on first steps, evaluating and measuring) so that
your individuals, teams and organization are as efficacious as possible.
Communication
Skills
More effective communications skills lead to markedly increased
workplace productivity, and expand individuals' abilities to influence
and gain commitment from colleagues and direct reports. Stronger
communication skills will directly impact customer service performance
with both internal and external customers and build better business
partnerships. While each session is completely customized for your
organization, subtopics may include:
- Understanding differences in different forms of communication.
- Analyzing underlying causes of miscommunication in difficult
situations
- Communication within cross-cultural organizations
- Enhancing listening, empathy and questioning
- Phone and email effectiveness and etiquette
- Identifying barriers to effective communication and techniques
for improving listening skills
- Fortifying successful non-verbal behaviors
- Examining assertive, aggressive and passive communication styles
Consensus
Building and Decision Making
Consensus building (also called collaborative problem solving or
collaboration) is about making decisions by united consent. Consideration
of all viewpoints provides a more rounded view of the issue, leading
to a better decision -- and a decision supported by everyone will
avoid resentment, division, and efforts to undermine it. This non-coercive
technique can be highly successful, and may emanate quite naturally
from small groups. In large, diverse groups, consensus building
and decision making may need special attention to work smoothly
-- especially when the issue involves multiple, complex issues.
In these sessions, you will learn how to harness the constructive
powers of individuals and teams to make better strategic decisions
consistently. Learn to institute user-friendly and universally applicable
strategic decision-making processes, proven tools and techniques.
Conflict
Management
Conflict is present in all human interactions and impacts each person
differently -- and managing conflict is the key to individual, team
and organizational success in today's changing workplace! In an
effort to overcome or avoid conflict, many people resort to recrimination,
intimidation or humiliation tactics to try to force a resolution.
To be successful in managing conflict, you need to take control
of how you interact with others, and gain greater flexibility in
responding to clashes.
To build better relationships and opportunities for mutual gain,
participants will:
- Learn how to assess the conflict
- Expand their working definitions of conflict
- Identify the origins of a conflict
- Differentiate between positions and interests in a conflict
situation
- Develop a step-by-step procedure for setting and achieving
outcomes

- Manage conflict through improved communication
- Develop an action plan to become a better communicator and
skilled conflict manager
Cross-Departmental
Collaboration

and effectiveness towards helping your organization meet its mission
and goals, collaborations across departments need leadership from

Customer
Service for Managers or Supervisors
In order to enjoy internal customer service and repeat business
from external customers, customer service has to start at the top.
Employees need support and leadership. Every management decision
makes employees' lives easier or ties their hands. Recent research
says most people don't leave organizations; they leave managers
or supervisors. Their ability to create an environment for customer
service excellence depends upon natural aptitude -- and training.
We offer customer service leadership training for management who
want to bring in revenue and create a company culture with service
by motivating, training, and enabling their employees to deliver
excellent customer service.

Interpersonal
Skills
In today's competitive workplace environment, task or technical
proficiency is not enough to achieve success. In fact, leading studies
from the Universities of Michigan and Ohio have shown that a balance
of “people” and “task” management is critical to
professional and organizational success. A professional who cannot
work well with others, does not earn the trust and confidence of
others, and who cannot easily navigate the interpersonal side of
management will reflect poorly on his or her department and the
organization as a whole. Reliable and consistent interpersonal skills
are critical to personal and professional leadership.

Leadership
Training
One of the most important contributions psychology has made to the
field of business has been in determining the key traits of acknowledged
leaders, and how these traits have evolved over time to keep up
with an ever-changing global marketplace. Today's leaders are at
once coaches and students, orators and active listeners, visionary
and practical. Above all, leaders of today must maintain a strong
sense of ethics, while working to model and build organizational
integrity.
Whether your organizational leadership is
professional or lay-driven (or a combination of both), understanding
how leaders are made (rather than born) is vital to achieving your
mission-driven outcomes. Sessions can be customized
for all audiences across industries, and is ideal for a leadership
retreat, board meeting, training program kick-off meeting, supervision
training, or orientation program.
Through frontal presentations, case studies, interactive exercises,
and group work, participants will learn applicable skills associated

Media
"P.R.E.P." Coaching
" There's no business like show business..." -- Composer
Irving Berlin
...except that tens of thousands of people will be watching you!
Artfully handling the media is no different from succeeding in any
other part of your business. You need to develop clear objectives,
design a concrete and creative roadmap to achieve them, and evaluate
each step along the way. Whether you are speaking on television
or radio, or to the printed media, there is no substitute for "P.R.E.P."aration
of your ideas and delivery. Let Elevated Training Inc. elevate your

Meeting
Management
Most people see meetings as an unproductive activity - time wasted
that could be put to better use actually doing something. While
bad meetings are a poor use of a valuable tool, well-run meetings
will yield results that far exceed their cost in time and money.
This session begins by asking you to examine whether or not you
even need a meeting to achieve your desired outcomes. Our meeting
management training sessions teach participants to carefully combine
the art and science needed to effectively manage exciting and fruitful
meetings.

Motivational
Speaking

conference or an intimate event, an experienced motivational speaker
can set the tone, advance your objectives, and send attendees home
more committed and excited than before the meeting. From funny and
invigorating to warm and moving -- and everything in between --
we can prepare a motivational, inspirational and (if you'd like)
educational presentation that will keep your audience engaged. By
working closely with you to help meet your goals for the meeting,
we will deliver just the right balance of substance and show. Topics
include Change Management, Customer Service, Diversity, Humor, Leadership,
Teamwork and many more.
Networking
Statistically speaking, each of us has at least 250 contacts --
and if each of those people has 250 contacts, then we should have
access to more than 64,000 people! But effective networking is more
than playing the numbers game: it's a dynamic, interactive and systematic
approach to building relationships for mutual benefit. Networking
is not random and unstructured, but requires specific applied skill
sets (and commitment!) to reap its countless personal and professional
rewards. Sessions can be customized for any
audience and any level of professional experience.
In this session, participants will learn:

Problem
Solving
Every employee in every industry is in the business of problem solving
and decision making. Poor problem solving skills means that your
employees are continuously "fire fighting" and "solving"
the same quality problems without ever getting to the root cause
-- or developing tweaks to products, services or issues that require
strategic overhauls. In contrast, effective problem solving can
lead to rapid improvements in efficiency, performance, and productivity
that affect the bottom line for both customer and employee satisfaction.
In problem solving training sessions, participants will learn:

Public
Speaking/Speechwriting
The fear of speaking in front of a group is still the #1 fear in
America. Perhaps that's because the stakes are so high: people form
their first impression about who we are by the confidence and poise
that we show when we speak. And even for those of us who feel confident
that we can communicate -- wouldn't you rather learn to captivate?
Whether in one-to-one interactions or in group settings, speakers
who know how to manage anxiety while delivering a logical and memorable
message will be perceived as more competent, confident and responsible.
Whether your goal is to deliver engaging presentations that get
results, persuade, educate, entertain, or motivate, by increasing
confidence and practicing skills, YOU will be in control.
And whether you sell products and services -- or sell ideas to
your supervisors, colleagues or clients -- you will need to master
the special art of persuasive speaking. People buy for emotional
reasons and then justify with logic, so you need to master appealing
to this balance -- in a compelling, exciting, emotional and logical
way.
Topics for Presentation Skills/Speechwriting sessions include:
- Reducing speech anxiety and look confident
- Presentation styles and types
- Developing your own authentic speaking style or "voice"
- Audience analysis
- Making your message "sticky"

Train
the Trainer
By training key “subject matter experts” to train others in the
organization, you distribute and create a repository of institutional
knowledge that is reflective of the organization's culture. By developing
internal training resources, you empower the organization to capitalize
on existing resources and teach staff to be self-reliant. Furthermore,
by using your own best and brightest to share knowledge throughout
the organization, you reward top performers, and reinforce the importance
of creating a learning culture.
