WORK ETHIC
The average employee operates at 20% efficiency 80% of the time!  So how do you get your employees to increase their work ethic and productivity?  You don't.  They do.  That's where Chris and Chuck come in.   Using proven coaching principles and methods, we access the internal motivation triggers that are personal to each member of your staff team.

P.D. Content:
Staff will start off with a self-evaluation exercise.  Next they will spend time getting crystal clear on their personal vision and purpose.  Together we tie the expectations of their work in your business to that vision and purpose.  Finally staff will make personal commitments regarding the work they do.   These commitments are internally motivated and designed to have a lasting impact.

The goal is that staff members take ownership of and advantage of every opportunity they have to move their commitments forward, especially on the job.

COMMUNICATION
"Every aspect of a business is governed by communication. Effective communication between the executive and those that do the work is essential to ensure that the right work is being done. Every business must be able to communicate with its customers. A lack of communications skills can affect the bottom line. How often does your interaction with a company's call center drive you to the opposition? Never underestimate the importance of communication skills in business."         
                                             ~Barry Marcus

If communication in the work place is of such importance, isn't it about time businesses start leveraging it and making it work for them?  The Personal Edge program will help you do just that.

We break down various communication types to their core.  Then we train your staff on distinctions that will allow them to build your business with every interaction they have.  We address communication barriers relating to consumers, management, and employees.

RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibility is by far the most critical factor that determines the success of an employee.  And it's the place to look with the most opportunity.  When employees can be counted on to dependably work at a high level, what does that make available for you?  

By definition, responsibility cannot be forced, only developed.  The Personal Edge for Business is your opportunity to do just that.

We address responsibility in the workplace in three critical areas.  The first is logistical responsibility.  This covers qualities such as timeliness and willingness to follow directives.  Staff members take a look at what producing in this area can do on a global scale in their lives, and are then given the space to choose responsibility for themselves.

The second critical area of responsibility we work with your staff on is integrity.  We address follow-through and dependability.  Integrity is presented as an empowered choice.  Staff members are led to get in touch with their own commitments in this area, so results are not forced, but rather achieved.

The most critical area of responsibility covered, however, is ownership.  Staff learn to take personal responsibility for the way things have gone, and for the way things will go from now on.  New tools regarding work ethic and communication combine to make this process a simple one.  The end goal is to create a self-sufficient, well-oiled machine that can take your business to new heights.
