Cafe' Proprietors Wanted

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who
cannot read and write,
but those who cannot
learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Alvin Toffler



 

Ever felt the sting of losing a valuable employee or vital customer?

Most organizations look to "training" as the solution to such problems....

 But Training often fails to deliver new behaviors back on the job! In fact, research shows that about 90% of all training expenditures fail to produce new behavior on the job! These findings have been researched and validated again and again over the past 50 years!

Our unique blend is designed to stick with your employees. It is built on decades of research on how adults unlearn and re-learn critical relationship skills that build trust, commitment and results. Click on the preview button to get a personal experience with the Cafe and taste the difference!


Nourish the Passion to Lead!

A Unique Approach to Developing Team Leader Skills

Have you ever spent time around a table, with friends or business colleagues, and engaged in a deep, rewarding conversation where you picked up an important idea?  The cafe' approach to learning takes advantage of the way human beings naturally communicate.  We tend to remember those conversations because they focus on ideas that matter to us.

That is the idea behind the Team Leader Cafe'.  Image a series of short conversational topics in an informal, small group environment where you get to know other team leaders on a personal basis.  Now imagine those conversations focusing on practical leadership skills and supported with a variety of tools to enhance those skills back on the job.  That's the Team Leader Cafe'!

The Team Leader Cafe' is designed to help you engage and retain talent, inspire innovation, manage projects and priorities and lead your team to success.

Unique features

  • Leadership Assessment - begin with a self-assessment before visiting a Cafe'.  In a later Cafe' session find out how your team members and others perceive your leadership skills and then craft a professional development plan to enhance strengths and improve weak area.  Repeat the assessment later to monitor progress.
  • Online Courses - get the basic knowledge regarding a skill topic before attending a Cafe' and then use the online access to review and reinforce on the job.
  • Guidance - don't go it alone.  The Team Leader Cafe' will help you enlist the support of a Champion who is interested in your professional development and provide him or her with the tools needed to guide you along your path.
  • Reinforcement - the learning doesn't stop when you walk out the Cafe' door; it is just beginning.  Follow-up communication from the Cafe' will help you put your new knowledge to work.
  • Encouragement - your Cafe' friends will become your learning community.  Continue to interact with them as you encourage each other in online discussions.
  • Table Manners - our pledge to you and our expectations of guests and sponsors which make this a memorable and life changing experience.
