of participants say they would recommend our workshops to others, and the above quote explains why.

Targeted Learning's workshops are highly interactive and utlize proven concepts, real-world examples, thought-provoking case studies and powerful skill-building exercises. Participants create personal action plans and receive easy-to-use tools to help them transfer their learnings from the classroom to the workplace.

The premise for all our workshops is that NOTHING TRULY GREAT HAPPENS IN ANY ORGANIZATION WITHOUT A CONVERSATION. Conversations are the vehicle whereby sound decision are made, commitments are build, and plans are successfully implemented.

A vital conversation is any conversation that could significantly impact the energy, growth, productivity, impact or sustainability of an individual, team or organization. Our research clearly demonstrates that the difference between average and top performers seldom lies in their technical or analytical skills, but in their ability to positively influence others through their day-to-day conversations.

Thriving in the information age requires people to juggle competing priorities. For example, they need to do more—with fewer resources. They need to learn more—in less time. They need to show more initiative and independent thought—yet work more cooperatively with others. They need to give more thought to the long term—despite less certainty about what tomorrow will bring. Given the uncertainties and challenges we face, leaders must be able to help people learn faster, work smarter and achieve more. Seven Conversations gives leaders the skills and tools they need to fully engage the talents and energies of their people.

The success of a mentoring relationship depends as much on the skills of the protege as it does on the skills and experience of the mentor. Proteges need more guidance on how to build successful working relationships, and how to tap into the experience of their mentors.

The best mentoring relationships are always reciprocal. Both parties need to take responsibility for the success of the partnership. Proteges need to learn how they bring value to the relationship. They need to learn how to ask questions, receive feedback, set goals, take initiative, listen, disagree agreeably, and get the support they need to be successful.

Coaching is about much more than simply achieving results. Thugs and bullies can get results—but only in the short term. In the long term, they drive the best talent away and undermine the organization's capacity to deliver tomorrow's results.

We teach leaders more than how to get results through people. We teach them how to achieve short-term results in ways that build the capacity of people to deliver tomorrow's results.

In a dynamic environment, an organization's competitiveness depends on how quickly it acquires new knowledge and develops new leaders. The speed with which an organization learns, however, depends on the ability of individual leaders and experts to both share their expertise and acquire new expertise.

The quicker new people reach mastery, the better for them and the organization. Unfortunately, research demonstrates that when on-the-job learning is unstructured, it often takes two or three times longer for someone to reach mastery, and it allows bad habits or unsafe shortcuts to evolve.

The purpose of this workshop isn't to simply get you to mentor others. We suspect that you're already doing that. Rather, our goal is to give you a structure that will help you do it more efficiently and effectively.
