Have you noticed how we invest thousands of dollars to upgrade technology but often invest very little upgrading our people. The reasons for this lack of attention to personal development include lack of time, limited resources, as well as budgetary issues.
The impact of failing to promote personal development in the workplace shows in low morale, absenteeism, lack of focus, low levels of engagement, lack of personal responsibility: In a nutshell drama. Investing in the development of your people will always give you a return on investment, a renewed enthusiasm, new ideas, better teamwork, and higher moral.
Introducing the 8 Steps of Empowerment
The 8 Steps of Empowerment was designed to meet time and budgetary challenges while still offering high value in personal and professional development.
Based on Marlene Chism's award-winning book, Stop Workplace Drama, The 8 Steps of Empowerment offers leadership skills bridging the gap between the personal and professional.
Let’s face the facts: Drama in any area of our lives has a holographic effect—changing the dynamic all other parts of life. One conscious act can spawn rippling change throughout a person or organization. Rather you agree or not, we bring our entire being to the workplace.
