Our Workshop Topics
Effective Change Management
Navigate the Human Side of Change: Equip leaders to manage not just structural updates like new software or staffing, but the psychological transitions that accompany them.
Minimize Resistance: Accelerate adoption rates by training leaders to understand and support the internal journeys employees face during shifts.
Drive Innovation: Move beyond simply "smoothing over friction" to create a high-adaptability culture where change sparks new ideas.
Build Organizational Resilience: Turn every transition into a competitive advantage by fostering a team that is flexible, confident, and ready for what’s next.
High Impact. Emotionally Intelligent Leaders
Develop Greater Emotional Intelligence: Help your employees build the self-awareness needed to make sharper decisions and work more efficiently.
Dismantle Productivity Killers: Teach employees to identify unhelpful, self-defeating thought patterns that waste time and decrease productivity. They will also learn tools and strategies to replace those unhelpful thoughts with empowering ones that can lead to greater confidence and competence.
Drive Organizational Excellence: Transform individual growth into a competitive advantage by fostering a high-functioning, relationally connected, and emotionally intelligent culture.
Navigating Difficult Conversations Effectively
Decrease Costly Avoidance: Identify and dismantle the internal barriers that cause leaders to hesitate, ensuring necessary issues are addressed before they escalate into bigger problems.
Build a Framework for Success: Set up-front agreements for your most difficult conversations that create mutual accountability, increase buy-in, and create a setting where genuine change can occur.
Leverage Conflict to Build Stronger Relationships: Learn how to use understanding oriented, listening based, clarity seeking communication to not only navigate difficult conversations but build strong work, vendor, community, and client relationships.
Spend Less, Earn More: Reduce the cost of replacing high-performing employees that leave because of unresolved conflict. (#2 reason employees leave.) Retain customers that leave when difficult conversations are handled poorly.
Remove Internal Barriers: Recognize and replace self-limiting labels that keep your team from communicating effectively.
Build Receptivity: Leverage effective listening, appropriate follow up questions, and genuine curiosity to build relationships where sharing your elevator pitch can be of genuine value.
Create Options: Build a repertoire of elevator pitches including: a) a simple, no jargon explanation, b) a success story, c) a way to educate, d) an impactful testimonial, e) showing the caliber of your customers, f) an opportunity to educate, and more.
Know Where to Use Them: Identify which kind of elevator pitches to use in face-to-face conversations, in a first time connection, during weekly networking meetings, and beyond.
Convert More Sales: Create 60-second mini-speeches that convince potential customers and business partners of your organization's value and lead to engagement.

Becoming an Effective Mentor or Protégé
“I recently attended a training that Wil led and it was inspiring and equipping. His genuine and authentic desire to help others succeed shows through. Highly recommend having Wil come and help your team/group examine how they can grow and improve!”
Sandra Parsons- Element Home Loans, Mortgage Loan Officer
“Wil is one of the best facilitators, in my opinion, because of how he connects. He asks questions that challenge and promote critical thinking. The workshops always include a teaching portion, an interactive portion, and a Q&A portion. When he leads a workshop I KNOW for a fact that folks are getting quality information in a fun teaching style. My job for the past 3 years has been to get workshop leaders to come in. We probably had 100 different workshops led by different people at that time. Wil is by far the best and most reliable person we invited.”
