Calling all ninjas!

Communication Ninja Resources

Communication isn’t magic, and it isn’t just ‘something you’re born with’, it’s a skill that takes development and practice.

Here are the tools that will turn you into a ninja within conversations.

Ideal for managers who want to help empower direct reports to be problem solvers, direct reports who want to get more clarity and feedback from their bosses, introverts who want less of the conversational spotlight shined on them, people who find themselves in the ‘helper’ role, and spouses who want to be, well… better spouses.

Together we will go over a basic set of tools that you can use in almost any situation to create deeper, clearer, and more empowering conversations.

Outside resources

This content comes from a bigger framework called 'Motivational Interviewing'. I don't run trainings for the bigger framework, but if you are interested in learning it here are some resources to help:

MINT’s online trainings
Community trainings through Sparlin Mental Health

A framework for change

Six Steps to the Life You Want

We’ve all been there – talking about the changes we want to make, but feeling stuck right where we are. What would it be like to have a clear way to go from feeling stuck to creating the changes that are most important to you? What if you had a way to create more clarity about what it is that you truly want, and what is actually standing in your way of achieving it?

That’s what this workshop is all about – creating a clear path and plan for you to get the change that is most important for you in your life right now. This is your recipe for success.

Day-of-Workshop Worksheet

Here is a fillable PDF worksheet to help you follow along in the experience. Print it out or save it to your computer and fill out in adobe reader - either way is great!

Want a much more in-depth guide for this content? Click below to download the 'Recipe for Success' pdf. It more in-depth than the presentation notes and covers some stuff that we simply didn't have time for in the workshop.

Here is the actual slide deck, with presenter notes in there. This is a little rougher than the recipe for success, but might have some hidden gems for folks who participated in the workshop.

Connecting humans together

How to build YOUR community

Imagine this – you discover a passion for a new hobby and want to find other people who are also passionate about it. What do you do? Do you go to meetup.com and search for groups? Do you scan the neighborhood coffee shop’s bulletin board for things that are at least somewhat related to what you are interested in? Do you join a Reddit group for the hobby and then spend tons of time wishing you could find an in-person group to join as well?

Or – what if you need to build a community/team at work to get something important done? Do you send out a group email and hope that you get back more than just crickets?

What do we do when we want a community that doesn’t seem to be there? What are our options when the things we want don’t already exist?

That’s what this workshop is all about: learning the secrets of community building that create sustainable, engaging, and enjoyable connections between people.

How to be a better leader

Being a leader is hard – there’s no doubt about it. Whether it’s the project development, the deadlines, having to deal with team dynamics, or just interacting with your direct reports when ‘life’ is happening to them; there’s a lot you have to deal with.

Sadly, few of us ever get an effective guide for how to be a true leader. Instead, we get piled high with policy manuals, project specifications, and a to-do list that never seems to end.

At the end of the day, you know you could be a better leader, but it’s hard to know where to start and how to go about becoming the best leader possible. In this session, we will identify the behaviors, feelings, and thoughts that hold you back from becoming the best possible leader. Then you’ll create a clear plan to move forward.

If you are ready to approach leadership a little differently and to dive into creating change, then you will learn a tool that will help you to step up into your most powerful leadership.
