Get R.E.A.L. - Inspiring real people to talk about real things, in a real way…

It's no secret that employee engagement is in decline, sick days are on the rise and talented people are hard to keep.  Now, the R.E.A.L. program helps create resilient work environments that boost engagement and stimulate productivity.


Insights Discovery - At the heart of our work is the Insights Discovery model, a system which provides a common language for effective interaction and organizational growth. Our work has impacted thousands of lives, and companies, across the globe.


Facilitating with Ease - Whether you’re new to facilitation or have years of experience under your belt, this workshop provides a unique opportunity to enhance your mastery of any group situation. Experience a dynamic and totally interactive learning environment.

Lifestyle Transition Planning Program© - consists of home based exercises which prepare participants for an interactive workshop session. This program is designed to provide participants with a framework for making decisions about the life they want in the future. These lifestyle goals are then modeled by the participants so they can see and understand the financial consequences of their decisions and then take appropriate action.


Retire "TO" something not "FROM something
 
The “new” retirement is completely different. People are retiring earlier and living longer, and now it is conceivable that one could have 25 or more years ahead of them. That is a long time to do nothing. Today there is a need to build a new life structure that will challenge, motivate, and provide a feeling of being useful and a sense of life satisfaction.

Organization Change & the Negativity Trap
 
One of the most debilitating traps that employees fall into when significant changes in an organization take place is the trap of Negativity. Typically, negativity is extremely contagious and its symptoms spread very quickly in the workplace. I have yet to see an employee that will not acknowledge that he or she has fallen into this trap at some point!

 By Sharon Bar-David LL.B MSW


Being Trouble Free
 
Leaders and others who make small and consistent efforts in the direction of working mindfulness enjoy more personal power and self-control. They are centred during challenging situations and with other people. If we want to be in the moment and have more time and energy, we must be rigorous in observing how we process people and events.
By Andrew Burnham


The Trusted Advisore ~ A Book Review
 
The primary audience for The Trusted Advisor by David H. Maister, Charles H. Green and Robert M. Galford is consultants but the lessons included in the book make sense for anyone in business who wants to create stronger relationships with clients. The authors are all professional advisors and they include many of their own experiences and lessons learned in the book.
