2019 CURRICULUM **2020 Curriculum coming soon**
Workshop I: Don’t hold yourself back, move forward with confidence
Participants will learn about the research behind The Confidence Code and assess how lack of self-confidence is holding them back from career advancement.
Workshop II: Find your strengths, build your brand
Participants will take a strengths assessment prior to the workshop. With awareness of their strengths, participants will develop their professional branding.
Workshop III: How to grow talent
In this highly engaging workshop, participants will develop a deep understanding of the research behind Multipliers. They will learn how they can get more done with fewer resources, develop and attract talent, and cultivate new ideas.
Workshop IV: Culture Clash
Even seasoned, cosmopolitan managers often have oversimplified ideas about how people from other cultures operate. That’s because they tend to zero in on just one or two elements—communication, for example, or decision making. But culture is more complex than that. To get an accurate picture, you need to gauge cognitive, relational, and behavioral differences among the eight dimensions where cultural gaps are most common—and to assess yourself in those areas.
