This
interactive workshop focuses on getting the right people into
the right positions in your organization. The cost of employee
turnover is staggering, and includes lost revenue opportunities,
recruitment costs and intangibles such as decreased employee
morale. Learn how to take a different approach to hiring, and
develop alternative interviewing strategies to ensure that
each candidate understands how much you value the process of
selection. The results that are produced through these strategies
are much better indicators of the potential success for prospective
employees. “Hiring
Right” revitalizes your organization, reduces employee
turnover, and makes you stronger and more effective in the long
run.

“Possibilities
are made through powerful, committed relationships.”

coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that enables
people to produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers,
businesses and organizations. Through the process of coaching,
employees deepen their learning, improve their performance,
and enhance their quality of life. Integrating Coaching into

coaching, the creation of a strategic integration plan, and an
all-encompassing commitment to the process from the leadership
on down. This workshop focuses on the benefits of coaching and
the development of a coaching integration plan.
