Protecting your time and yourself is critical to being productive and being able to enjoy life. Learn the Power of No model (Purpose, Options, When, Emotions, Rights & Responsibilities) for protecting yourself. Based on Jana Kemp’s book NO! How One Simple Word Can Transform Your Life (2005).

After doing a quick activity and defining “no” and why we say it, participants will take the Power of No Self-Assessment. The Power of No Model will be introduced in an interactive process, followed by defining participants’ personal Policy of No. Power of No Consequences will be evaluated. Verbal and nonverbal “nos” will be reviewed in a variety of activities, followed by discussions and practices around “maybe” and “yes.” Participants will create an action plan detailing how they will apply the skills.

During this workshop, you will:

1. Assess your ability to say “no.”
2. Discover and practice using the Power of No Model.
3. Analyze the consequences.
4. Create your Policy of No.
5. Gain confidence in your ability to say “no” and mean it.
6. Learn to stop saying “maybe.”
7. Gain confidence in your ability to say “yes” and follow through.

Project teams are the rule, rather than the exception, in today’s organizations. But, thanks to the pressure of performance goals, conflicting agendas, and political jockeying, few teams make consistently superior decisions.

In the Moving Out of the Box Decision-Making workshop, participants will learn tested methods and tools that teams and leaders can use to improve their performance level.  The focus of this training program is based on five decision-making profiles:

1. Anti-survival

2. Boxed-in

3. Neutral

4. Engaged enthusiasm

5. Extreme excitement

Understanding and managing these group profiles will help you to guide your group toward the most effective end point.

During the decision-making training workshop, participants will explore and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of 5 modes of decision-making within an organization including:

1. The Solitary Decision

2. The Input Decision

3. The Delegated Decision

4. The Majority Rules Decision

5. The Decision Made By Consensus

The focus of this workshop will be on learning how to determine the appropriate use of each decision making mode as well as how to communicate and assign decision-making responsibility within a team or organization.

This program consists of 4 Sessions:

• Agendas To Get Things Done
• Leading Effective Meetings
• Minute-taking That Matters
• Follow Up For Success

Whatever the climate or setting for your meeting, Jana Kemp will keep it on track, get action-commitments from participants, and make things happen.
