NCPD: Core Strengths® Leadership Workshop
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
Core Strengths® Leadership Workshop: Results through Relationships
"Building Company Culture Based on Collaborative Connections"
DESCRIPTION: Collaborative relationships are the key to effective teams. That’s because the ability to interact effectively with people isn’t just "nice-to-have" – it's non-negotiable. It is not the lack of knowledge, skills or motivation, but the mismanagement of relationships that creates the greatest cost to work teams. That’s where the Core Strengths® system (powered by the Strength Deployment Inventory® 2.0) comes in. Get the tools you need in order to better encourage your colleagues and team members to take initiative, innovate, and make smart decisions. Give yourself and your team the Core Strengths® advantage. Core Strengths® integrates the communication of three business priorities based on personality preferences: 1) People – a concern for helping and developing others; 2) Performance – a concern for directing action and achieving results; and 3) Process – a concern for establishing clear and meaningful order. Core Strengths® opens a window on personality by making the Motivational Value System (MVS) visible. Core Strengths® also shows how conflict affects the way we see situations and how we choose the strengths we use. By looking at who we are under two conditions – when things are going well and when in conflict – we get a fuller, dynamic, and useful picture than if we adopt the faulty assumption that we have only one way of being ourselves. All training participants will receive their own customized Core Strengths® assessment reports, as well as all class materials, as part of their registration in this highly experiential workshop, all of which are valued at over $120.00.

NCPD: 3 Vital Questions®
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
3 Vital Questions: Transforming Workplace Drama
"Activating Your Focus, State, and Behavior to Facilitate Positive Change"
DESCRIPTION: Drama at home and in the workplace is a source of great suffering for many people and can often have enormous costs physically, emotionally, interpersonally, as well as financially. It can destroy families and significantly impair the effectiveness of work teams and businesses. To help understand how this dynamics begins and unfolds, psychiatrist Stephen Karpman, MD, famously introduced the Karpman Drama Triangle in 1968, where he articulated the roles of Victim, Rescuer, and Persecutor. Building on that model, business consultants and personal coaches David Emerald and Donna Zajonc developed The Empowerment Dynamic or TED as a means for getting out of the Dreaded Drama Triangle (DDT). By asking 3 Vital Questions (3VQ) and deeply exploring the answers to those questions, practitioners can use the “Power of TED*” as a tool for transforming the Victim into a Creator, the Rescuer into a Coach, and the Persecutor into a Challenger. This training - designed to help supervisors, managers, and leaders bring the Power of TED* into their teams and organizations - teaches practitioners how to guide their employees in first focusing their attention on what matters, next tracking their inner emotional states and the needs associated with them, and finally how to take actions that are congruent with those goals and needs. All training participants will receive their own 3 Vital Questions® Participant Guidebook, as well as all class materials, as part of their registration in this highly experiential workshop, all of which are valued at over $299.00.

NCPD: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership
with Ryan Kennedy, PsyD, LP, LAC, LMFT, LPC, ACS
Emotional Intelligence and Leadership: Why Knowledge, Skills, and Ambition Aren't Enough
"Bringing the Core Skills to Work"
DESCRIPTION: It used to be that people thought general intelligence quotient or IQ was the key to success, and although it certainly is part of that formula, Emotional Intelligence Quotient or EQ plays a very significant role too. This is because whether we are at work or at home, working as part of team or interacting with friends or family, we are in relationships that function best when Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is high. And knowing about EQ isn't enough because it's also crucial to be good at EQ. Though the term EQ was initially developed by research psychologists John Mayer and Peter Solvey in early part of the 1990s to help broaden the clinical understanding of intelligence beyond the limited dimensions of verbal and performance indicators that had become widely accepted, it was author and psychologist Daniel Goleman, PhD, who popularized it in 1994, with his book, Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ. This is when managers and leaders started seeing clearly just how high the cost was when EQ wasn't acknowledged, valued, and fostered in the workplace. This one-day training takes a closer look at the four core skills of EQ and how they can be developed and utilized in the workforce to enhance collaboration, reduce dissatisfaction, and achieve greater overall results. The four core EQ skills are: 1) self-awareness skills; 2) self-management skills; 3) social awareness skills; and 4) relationships management skills. This training further unpacks what they are, why they are important, and how to cultivate them in our own lives as managers and leaders so they can be implemented more effectively at work and hopefully beyond.
