The 6 Types of Working Genius
The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life. When people better understand the types of work that bring them more energy and fulfillment and avoid work that leads to frustration and failure, they can be more self-aware, productive and successful.
Working Genius identifies the six fundamental activities required for any type of work and provides a simple framework for how work gets done. Too many people feel frustrated, underutilized or misunderstood at work. Far too many teams experience failure, feel stuck or are confused because they don't know how to tap into the people around them. Working Genius is changing the way people are thinking about their work and teams, and is leading to more dignified, fulfilled and successful work.

The Power of Habit
Habits affect performance more than talent, intelligence, luck, or decision making. Most know this, yet they struggle to take control of their habits to get the outcomes they want.
Based on the bestseller by Charles Duhigg and the latest science in habit formation, The Power of Habit course teaches how habits work and how to develop effective habits using skill instead of willpower. The course teaches a skill set for mastering any habit. You might call this skill set the habit of all habits. The one to rule them all.

Crucial Conversations for Accountability
Any manager who's struggled to close a significant performance gap or anyone who has ever walked out of an annual review feeling like they've just been processed rather than prioritized knows there's nothing easy about it.
Performance management is about addressing behavior routinely and consistently. It’s about candidly coaching through challenges and fostering a culture of accountability for lapses in behavior. It’s about identifying goals, fast-tracking careers, and in the process, improving the bottom line.
The good news is these accountability skills are replicable and learnable. We’re all just a few crucial skills away from learning how to manage people and performance daily and directly. Crucial Conversations for Accountability is an engaging classroom course rich with group discussion, real-time practice, and group support and coaching.

Crucial Influence
When facing persistent, resistant challenges, leaders often surrender to poor results or invest in change efforts that waste time and resources. And yet it’s possible to influence behavior with surprisingly predictable success.
For the past thirty years, we’ve studied leaders with a proven ability to influence rapid, profound and sustainable change. And here’s what we know: human behavior is grounded in six sources of influence. Effective leaders know how to leverage and apply these sources of influence to solve everyday leadership challenges.
Crucial Influence® teaches leadership skills that are essential to leaders at every level. Drawing on five decades of social science research and work with successful leaders around the world, the Crucial Influence Model reveals why people do what they do and how all leaders—from aspiring leaders to top executives—can influence others for lasting results. Crucial Influence is an engaging classroom course rich with group discussion, real-time practice, and group support and coaching. Delivered in one day, this in-person course offers the best in traditional learning and development.
