Change Management

Ready, Set, Change

In this program, we will explore change and how it impacts each one of us differently. Prior to the program, all participants will complete a CSI assessment online. During the session, learners will discover their own style preference through an introduction to the change style continuum. We’ll share quick tips to be a better collaborator. 

 
 

Peak Performance Through Prioritization

Does your “to-do” list seem to always be growing? Are you actually too busy to learn how to manage it? Every time you cross something off, it feels like 2 more things get added? Managing our time is often easier said than done. In this workshop, you will be introduced to a time management matrix that helps you not only identify urgent and important tasks but create an action plan for prioritizing them. Participants will leave with the ability to decipher between urgent and important tasks, tips on how to delegate specific tasks, and best practices for deciding what can be eliminated from those pesky to-do lists.

Communication

Communication Skills

 Effective communication skills are a key to life inside and outside of work and they are critical for creating a culture of Candor Courage and CareTM. In this program, we focus on the universal skills we all can and should master to become better communicators. We teach the CAN method of active listening and focus on body language, eye contact, and the role of non-verbal communication. We pack this program with practice and exercises, and give our learners the opportunity to practice and share feedback with other participants. At the end of the session, everyone leaves with tips and tricks on how we CAN all be more effective communicators right away.

 

Communication Styles

This program is one of our originals, and people have loved it from the start. It sells out over and over! In this highly interactive program, you’ll learn about common default styles, including your own by starting with a 5 minute online assessment. By engaging in this experience, learners can become more intentional about needs, expectations, emotions, and “hot spots” for the people in their lives. We will focus on the critical skills for top-notch communication across all styles and give everyone a chance to practice.

 

Networking Narrative

One of the most important things we do is introduce ourselves. Seems simple, but it’s often hard to figure out exactly what to say without feeling stuck, boastful, or regretful of missing the main points in those critical 30 seconds. Whether you’re meeting your new team during a Zoom call or attending a networking event, we all need to be prepared with our story. Some refer to this as an “elevator pitch”, but at Assemble we call it a Networking Narrative. This workshop will provide you with a simple framework, along with tips and tricks to create your own unique Networking Narrative. At the end of this workshop, you will leave prepared and confident to make a connection and leave a lasting impression. This program is brilliant way to help new colleagues build relationships, mix together and have fun.

Confidence

Assemble Your Confidence

We know that confidence has a direct impact on success in the workplace, and yet imposter syndrome impacts more than 70% of adults in some way. Confident people are more optimistic, build stronger relationships, and deliver the best results. And here’s the good news: although many of us struggle with confidence, it is a skill that we can master! Come join us to learn the Assemble Confidence Framework that can be used in the workplace and our personal lives. In our program, we’ll get active, and we’ll even practice taking compliments as we share some of our real successes! It’s fast, fun, and immediately applicable to your own career and broader team success.

Collaboration with Confidence

Get ready for fun!! In this new program, we define collaboration, identify barriers, learn our own personal collaboration styles, and discover an effective 4-step method to building a culture of collaboration. We will surprise ourselves as we observe the way we engage in active exercises – individually and in groups. This program is getting tremendous response!

Presenting with Power

Part 1: Building Confidence
Part 2: Building Compelling Presentations
Part 3: Building Communication Skills

Regardless of level, role or title, all of our jobs require us to be communicators. In order to be effective and successful, communication requires confidence and skills – internally and externally. Our BRAND NEW Presenting with Power 3-part series includes 3 sessions focused on building confidence, crafting compelling content, and honing communication skills that we all need to be powerful with our words. Each module is 2-hours, and the 3-part program can be offered as your schedule allows.

Decision Making

One of the biggest issues on teams today is how we make (or struggle to make) decisions! In this interactive workshop, we will uncover what gets in the way and the science behind human decision making. Participants will have an opportunity to bring their decision making challenges to the table and learn a simple method to help make decisions with confidence.

DEI

Confronting Our Bias

In this program, we explore the definition of unconscious bias, microaggressions, the science behind it all, and how truly understanding can help us conquer our biases. We will approach the hard conversations and put actions behind how to become aware, challenge our assumptions, identify risks to our teams and business and ensure that we are in control of our biases.

 

Learning to Speak Up

In a world forever altered by racial injustice, a global pandemic, divisiveness and fear, teams need to have comfort and competence in navigating difficult discussions. In this program, we tackle those “cringeworthy” topics and issues that can arise in the workplace head on by uncovering what makes them challenging, why they’re important to address and ways to build safe space for discussion. Participants will walk away with tools to help facilitate dialogue that will cultivate inclusive environments.

 

Power of Allyship

Many want to be allies, but not everyone understands the “how.” In this program, we define allyship and privilege and discuss the connection between the two concepts, while also reviewing the types of roles allies can play through scenarios, scripts and open conversation. Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of their own privilege and will feel empowered to speak up and channel it in ways that will help others.

 

Multigenerational Workforce

With up to five generations in the workforce today, cultivating a workplace where employees feel a sense of belonging, regardless of their age has never been more important. Explore how different generations bring unique perspectives, skills, and approaches to the table, enriching your team’s capabilities and driving innovation. From bridging communication gaps to leveraging diverse strengths, this program equips leaders and employees with what’s needed to thrive in a multigenerational environment.

Feedback

Feedback Part 1:  Unlocking the Power of Feedback with Candor, Courage and Care

Feedback is something we all know we need, most managers try to deliver, and yet, almost every employee will tell you they wish they were getting more. What is it that holds us back from openly sharing and receiving feedback in the workplace? How can we break down those barriers and create true cultures of honest feedback? Join Assemble to learn our trademarked Candor, Courage, and Care™ Solution and find out how building a culture of FAST feedback can shift the way people think about feedback and communicate with one another. In this interactive workshop, learn the FASTCar model, prepare to laugh, think, work together, and share – that’s what feedback is all about!


Feedback Part 2:  Practicing Hard conversations with Candor, Courage and Care

People love the 3Cs program so much that we were asked to create a 2.0! Our original program sets the foundation of creating a culture of Candor, Courage, and Care™. In this advanced program, we dive deeper and look at some of the harder situations. We navigate challenging messages, individuals that may take feedback personally, sharing feedback when someone is going through a hard time, and then open the floor for participants to bring real live scenarios to the session. Participants build confidence in delivering feedback by working together and practicing for hard conversations in this workshop.


Feedback Part 3:  Receiving Feedback for Growth with Candor Courage and Care

Believe it or not, receiving feedback is a crucial skill and can impact the willingness of others to share with you. This BRAND NEW module adds this critical component to our 3Cs package. In 60 minutes, participants explore ways to learn from and respond to feedback with a growth mindset.

Management

Assemble Your Goals

Great organizations worry less about the Great Resignation when they provide employees with the opportunity to set and achieve their career goals. In this brand new interactive workshop, we encourage participants to reflect on professional goals for work and life, explore leadership and growth opportunities within their organizations, and develop a customized action plan to continue to advance their careers.


When to Manage and How to Coach: Driving Performance and Unlocking Potential

As a leader: when do you coach, when do you manage, and what is the difference? In this interactive program, we explore the difference between managing and coaching and the skills needed to be successful as an impactful coach. Participants will learn an easy-to-remember coaching model and leave with new skills that can be put to work tomorrow!


Manager Pitfalls & Practices

No leader is perfect and EVERY leader makes mistakes, even when we have the best of intentions. In this workshop, we look at micromanaging and some of the other not-so-great behaviors that can be viewed as leadership pitfalls. We arm leaders with tools to identify and combat these pitfall behaviors and send participants on their way with super-leader capes!


Manager Profiles

Managing people is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and same goes for our management style. In this “crash course,” we dive into the definition of leadership and explore six different leadership styles. Leaders gain an understanding of how each style fits within a company culture, behaviors, benefits, and derailers.
