    Project Management Review

    In this session, students will look at the Project Life Cycle and compare project plans for common elements.

    Executing the Plan

    Executing the plan is the heart of any project and it gets a close inspection here. Students will learn the types of tasks a Project Manager needs to complete. Also, they will look at how to keep on track, on task, and how to monitor a project.

    Communications Plan

    You can’t successfully follow through with a project without having a communications plan in place for all stakeholders. This lesson delves into such plans with a focus on Who, When, What, and How.

    Changes and Project Tracking

    There has hardly been a project that hasn’t dealt with changes during the course of its execution. With that in mind, this session shows students how change requests and change request tracking keep a project focused.

    Status Meetings and Issues Management

    Status meetings and issues management are tools to keep a project running smoothly and they are in the spotlight here. Students will learn how to develop an issues log and conduct a status meeting.

    Closing the Project

    When the project is completed, you just can’t walk away and hope for the best. Proper procedure includes closing the project with a project summary and a lessons learned document.

    Workshop Wrap-Up

    At the end of the course, students will have an opportunity to ask questions and fill out an action plan.

    Virtual Room

    Delivering traditional onsite training results …virtually!

    We’ve officially changed the rules and redefined what is possible in the world of soft skills learning. Our unique technology, accompanied by honed delivery methodology, have successfully replicated the traditional classroom-style training environment, allowing it to exist online.

    Most online training solutions limit participants’ responses to keystrokes or to single person conversations because -with inferior technology- group discussions become distorted and confusing to follow.  Our Virtual Room has eliminated those barriers and encourages learning through meaningful instructor feedback, skills modelling and engaging group discussion, without visual or audio distortion

    The Virtual Room is for any organization seeking a flexible substitute to traditional onsite training; whether to lower costs, eliminate unnecessary travel or to simply ease the burden of demanding work schedules.

    Lunch & Learn
    lunch and learn

    Lunch & Learn

    A Lunch and Learn session is an onsite or virtual learning program with a facilitator-led session sharing valuable information and skills on an area of identified learning interest.  It’s a great break away from a traditional training program, allowing your team the opportunity to learn while enjoying their lunch. Due to the limited time, the program focuses on specific learning concepts and skills.   It is an interactive session that quickly targets and reveals learning objectives that are predetermined by the training organizer.   Lunch & Learn sessions are also great as a training series, providing progressive learning programs for developing skills in a ‘bite-sized’ format.

    Code Of Conduct: Setting The Tone For Your Workplace

    $199.00 USD
    Workplaces are made up of diverse groups of people with diverse motivations, backgrounds, and ethics. When such groups are brought together, sometimes there are opportunities for ethical, moral, financial, or even legal, boundaries to be crossed. Sometimes those boundaries are crossed with disastrous results. A workplace code of conduct is a tool that can be used to prevent such digressions by providing a framework for employees to follow of what is expected of them and how to conduct themselves in various situations. This course will look at the material that goes into a code of conduct and will allow participants to build their own as the day goes on.

    Creating a Positive Work Environment

    $199.00 USD
    Not all of us have had the opportunity to work in a truly positive work environment. A positive work environment is important for the productivity of a company but it is also important to us personally. Our emotional and physical health can be improved by working in a positive work environment. We should wake up each morning wanting to go to work - not trying to think of excuses to not go. We want to be proud of where we work and enjoy telling others about where we work. As an employee or a leader within a company you have a responsibility to create and maintain a positive work environment. Everyone has a responsibility to create and maintain a positive work environment. Even if this is not a companywide reality you can seek to provide this type of environment for your department/ division or those within your sphere of influence. This one-day course will give you tools to be able to create the type of company environment that you crave through building and nurturing effective workplace relationships.

    Dealing With Difficult People

    $199.00 USD
    We can get into a routine where it feels like everyone we speak with is either having a bad day, or we are having a bad day ourselves. We feel like we constantly meet people who seem to be inconsiderate, stubborn, incorrigible, indecent, miserable, or passive-aggressive. Sometimes we can be equally awkward ourselves. While it might seem that the easiest remedy is to lock yourself up at home and avoid people, we eventually have to pick up the phone or step outside and have an interaction with somebody. Success comes from understanding how we behave, as well as how we can influence others. If we approach difficulties as needing to take place in one or a series of conversations, and we approach those conversations with a plan, we will find that we have less difficult people to deal with. More often than not, we will also have more meaningful and significant conversations. In this one-day workshop, you will teach participants how to turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth.
