| “I recommend
The Sisters without reservation to any organization trying
to improve communications internally and externally.
The employees in our maintenance division had singled one
employee out as a detriment to the team. As self-fulfilling
prophecies go, the employee soon could do nothing right. The
first day of training, I literally had to extract one staff
member from the bathroom to attend. After 40 hours of intensive
training over two months, learning communications tools, all
employees in the group committed to working together as a
team. Today that employee is an integrated member in the team.
The benefits of these communications programs
have:
- Extended
beyond the workplace to family life
- Helped
management and employees alike in dealing with difficult co-workers
- Helped
management and employees alike in dealing with critical issues
including union negotiations, disgruntled citizens, and cultural
differences
- Helped
the Department in handling difficult and sensitive situations
The buy-in
to establishing effective organizational communications
needs to have commitment from senior management to be
most effective. The benefits will be evidenced in morale,
productivity and smiling faces.”

PLEASE
DON’T MAKE ME THE LEADER
Do you wish you could get someone else
to be a better leader? Do you know someone who would benefit from your
experience, but it seems you can’t get through to them? Do you ever
feel like you’re the leader, even though you’re not the person in
charge?
Many great leaders
can’t tell you what they did to become great leaders. This is because
people don’t become great leaders just by what they do. People become
great leaders because of how they think. And great leaders influence
others to be the best they can be without even knowing it.
The Sisters will
teach you how great leaders think, and show you how to unleash the great
leader inside you, and influence others to be their best.

ELUSIVE
STRENGTHS
In almost every relationship (work,

strengths. Sometimes the challenge to develop those strengths is
rewarding. Other times it brings great stress and anxiety, and leaves us
feeling inadequate.
In
this energizing workshop you will identify skills and abilities you
never knew you had, and learn how to apply what you thought was a
specific strength to many areas of your life. You will find a deeper
level of confidence and competence than you’ve ever experienced before.

Dear Wende and Sande,
Thank you both so
much for coming to San Jose to train us on team building,
strategic planning and customer service. When my best friend
and co-worker, Sandra, returned from your last training, her
enthusiasm and energy over your class was uncontainable.
Needless to say, Sandra returned for more and I was fortunate
she brought me with her. Wow, all of her praises were accurate
because I am now the one who is sharing them. I want to thank
you both sincerely for the important work that you do. Many of
us want to make positive changes in our lives and you've given
us direction and the tools we can actually use. You both gifted
me with several breakthrough-mental-shift-moments that I had
been hoping and searching for so long. We can't wait until you
both return to San Jose!
Heartfelt Thanks and
Appreciation,

resolve all aspects.
The result is an environment where it is safe to
express one's ideas and disagreements with passion and energy, and where
misunderstandings are identified and replaced with clear communication,

CUSTOMER SERVICE: DEALING WITH DIFFICULT
PEOPLE

reveals your greater communication skills in dealing with challenging

exercise-intensive workshop you will learn how to set the tone to guide
parties to an acceptable and achievable agreement while remaining
impartial. A skilled mediator can make the difference between

| “The Sisters understand
business and the different personalities that manifest
themselves into a workplace. The key to our success
was helping our company understand ourselves. We identified
each of our executives “inner” personality
strengths which opened the door for us to capitalize
on these strengths and develop a strategy for a successful
management transition and business plan. ”
