SUMMIT SEMINARS
The Executive Core Competency Series includes Six Modules. Modules can be customized for particular groups, but generally are arranged in 2-3 full day sessions. Most teams prefer to follow-up the seminars with a separately arranged 2 hour team coaching session. Seminars can be conducted at Summit Group Resource Center or at an on-site location. Seminars can also be arranged in a retreat format. All seminars are arranged with small group breakouts, guided practice, and opportunities for self-evaluation and peer feedback. The number of participants in seminars ranges from 12-20.

The Path of Dialogue Seminar Module
A foundational seminar for establishing common understandings around a communication model for a small group especially those who are a new venture or a group in the process of strategically transitioning to a culture of very high performance. Topics include: Understanding being on/off the path of dialogue, working the "hot buttons," listening and speaking respectfully and powerfully.

Leadership Seminar Module
A module designed for those who didn't learn everything they really needed to know in business school about influencing others to get the results an organization needs in order to grow and to thrive. Learn how to truly support the team in their development without abandoning or controlling them.

Client Service Seminar Module
This module is appropriate for any group and emphasizes the importance of creating healthy partnerships with clients while satisfying other stakeholders. Participants are shown how to help clarify their customer vision and mission. Best practice in customer service is examined as well as fun and useful data collection techniques.

Teaming Seminar Module
The second foundational seminar for young or transitioning groups aiming toward very high individual and team performance. Also useful for leaders who learned little about effectively influencing others in business and psych classes. Teams learn to take appropriate initiative and joint responsibility for workplace results and satisfaction. Teams learn how to get unstuck from repeatedly engaging in defeating behaviors.

Personal Effectiveness Seminar Module
This module is for those who seriously want to examine their personal effectiveness and how to substantially increase it. Major therapy is not required for most who genuinely want to handle the challenges of life with grace, who want to have healthy relationships, and enjoy successful work.

Becoming a Learning Organization Seminar Module
This module is for small groups who feel they have already established trust and a team communication model. The group works together on creating plans for self-development, for client, and team satisfaction in order to strategize, implement, and evaluate continual growth and increased work performance.

CONTRACTED SERVICES
COACHING
Executive and customized team coaching is suitable for teams that desire intensive work toward clarifying and meeting specific goals. Executive coaching in leadership skills and advanced thinking is becoming popular as groups recognize its importance in team dynamics and becoming a more powerful organization. Some of the greatest "aha" experiences come about through coaching. Coaching contracts are individually negotiated after a free consultation.
TESTIMONIALS

RETREATS
End-of-year reflections and strategizing, revitalization and "whacks-on-the-side-of-the-head" activities can be incubators for big organizational gains. You don't need to do anything; we can handle food, housing, agendas, speakers, and activities. Retreat contracts are individually negotiated after a free consultation.

HIRING
The costs involved with unsuccessful hiring and retention are huge. Small businesses simply do not have the time and resources to select qualified candidates that are likely to succeed and stay in a new work environment. Our selection process is stringent for candidates, but painless--even enjoyable for employers. Hiring contracts are individually negotiated after a free consultation.

FOCUS GROUPS
Much faulty small business thinking and subsequent strategizing are the result of inadequate customer research with their target market. We can help you select appropriate market groups, agendas, provide facilitators, transcriptions, and analysis. Focus group contracts are individually negotiated after a free consultation.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
Successful performance is the absolute core of any business, but performance appraisals often do not exist in small businesses or they are a waste of energy and time. We can help you design and implement performance appraisal systems that actually drive your success, that are enlightening, and enjoyable. Performance appraisal systems are individually negotiated after a free consultation.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
You don't know WHAT you need or you DO know what you need but not how to proceed. Perhaps we can help. CYOA's are individually negotiated after a free consultation.
