Your challenges in the workplace may sometimes seemoverwhelming, but
they are not unique.This series looks at success stories from internationally-

roadblocks, and the challenge of guiding towering egos into a common
goal. This series of three half-day seminars allows you to assess your own
strengths and those of the people with whom you work, harness powerful
communications tools for your workplace, and strengthen your own
workplace teams.
Three part course including MGT371 Boosting Morale in Tough
Times, MGT317 Building Workplace Relationships, and MGT318

NEW! Boosting Morale in Tough Times
“These are not dark days, these are great days; the greatest days our country
has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed... to play
a part in making these days memorable.’’ – Winston Churchill
In times of change, reorganization, budget cuts, downsizing, new
management, even moving the office, employees lose focus, and
productivity declines. Dealing with employee emotions, from anger to loss
of interest, requires managers to ramp up their communications to help
people re-engage with the organization’s mission, and not dwell on their
own feelings. Through historic examples from Winston Churchill in World
War II, you will learn communications tools that you can apply to your own
workplace. By comparison with the shortages of war-time England, your
problems should seemmanageable. So step back in time, study the master
of communications, and begin drafting a plan to pull your employees into
a confident, focused team once again.
