Powerful & Practical Training Programs
We are proud to offer a wide variety of coaching and training programs to meet your unique needs. Our management training programs are tailored to match your company's strengths, challenges, size, and goals. All of our programs are designed to fit your budget, needs, and timing constraints. They are offered in different formats ranging from 1 or 2 day seminars to short 2-hour programs. The Leadership, Team-building, and Time Mastery programs are briefly outlined below, and represent the bulk of the training we presently conduct in corporations. However, we also offer other programs that address topics such as interviewing, recruiting, handling conflict & difficult situations, managing change, and overcoming everyday stress.

Leadership Program
True Potential Coaching has designed a program to support managers in the implementation of the "coaching" leadership style. The old more "directive" leadership styles that consist of "controlling" or "telling" others are slowly being replaced by innovative "coaching" leadership strategies. The "coaching" style fosters collaborative interactions, and empowerment of all individuals within the organization, resulting in increased productivity & motivation of employees. Listening, effective questioning, supportive dialoguing, validating others, rational thinking processes, and uncovering motivating factors are just some of the "coaching" skills that will be taught during this forum.

Real work situations will be incorporated into this program allowing the managers to experience the "power of application" which had been found to enhance overall integration of these methods. Experiential exercises such as role-plays, tag-team coaching, and feedback session will be utilized to ingrain learning and build the confidence of the participants. The managers will emerge from this program knowing how to:

- listen & respond more effectively to their staff
- motivate their staff to perform at higher levels
- improve morale
- turn conflict into opportunities
- handle challenging situations with employees
- interact effectively with upper management
- champion their ideas and projects

Team-building Program
The objective of this program is to build a strong cohesive team, leading to increased productivity. A variety of assessment tests are used to assess the strengths and improvement opportunities of the team, and to benchmark the results of the training program. Teambuilding exercises, activities, and games are utilized to create easy and workable solutions to team issues, and to foster increased trust and understanding of each member and his or her role within the team. Some of the benefits your team could experience from this program include:

- improved communication
- the effective handling of disagreement
- increased motivation
- enhanced clarity of individual's tasks and roles
- the implementation of consensus-based decision making

Time Mastery Program
Shorter deadlines, competing priorities, endless meetings, interruptions, and ever higher quality expectations are just some of today's challenges. And yet the number of hours remains the same. You can help your employees solve this dilemma with the practical everyday skills revealed in the Time Mastery Program. The Time Mastery Assessment test will be used to assess each individual's strengths and weakness with regards time use. Your employees will learn how to master the twelve facets of time use and emerge with techniques for:

- strategic goal setting
- effective prioritization
- master planning & scheduling
- controlling interruptions
- conquering procrastination
- improving meeting effectiveness
- increasing delegation strategies

Follow Up Coaching for Key Leaders and Teams
Coaching is the art of increasing overall productivity by supporting individuals in overcoming obstacles and challenges blocking them from performing at peak levels. True Potential Coaching coaches managers, supervisors, directors, executives and their teams who want to reach their true potential and increase overall productivity. Our coaching emphasizes strategic and practical actions that produce rapid and significant results. Coaching is a highly effective way to help key employees:

- Learn how to manage others more effectively
- Decrease procrastination
- Master their time
- Build their confidence levels
- Increase overall productivity
- Effectively handle change and transitions
- Build superior interpersonal skills
- Grow in leadership abilities

Follow-up coaching is highly suggested since it supports the full implementation of any of the above training programs. As stated above, combining customized training and corporate coaching improves productivity to past 80% whereas solo training experiences show an average increase of employee productivity of only
20 to 25%.

Assessments Tests
Are you wondering why certain key employees are performing below par, or causing difficulties within the organization or within a team? We can help you uncover the causes of these problems in record time with the help of assessment tests. They can help individuals deepen their understanding of themselves, enhance strengths, overcome weaknesses, and relate better to others. We utilize assessment tools that provide insight and strategic input on many areas of performance including:

- personality styles
- diversity awareness
- leadership styles
- stress management
- time management
- listening skills
- job fit

All instruments are self-contained, easy to understand, and cost-effective to utilize. Most can be used for 360 degree feedback if desired.

Complimentary Assessment Session
We cannot give you an accurate training proposal without fully understanding your company, and your goals. Therefore, we highly recommend that we meet for a free initial one hour assessment session with your company before proceeding. The purpose of this meeting is to gain specific information about your company's goals and structure, to identify your corporate challenges, and to communicate how we can support your company in moving forward. After this complimentary session, we will draft a detailed proposal for your input and feedback.

Investment
True Potential Coaching offers affordable programs that can easily meet your budget. Since we tailor all of our programs to our client's needs, we can easily create a format that fits both your budget and your training needs.
