My BEST Communication
(Ron Schlitt)
Purpose: To improve communication skills and become aware of personal styles as well as the styles of others you work with.
Here is an easy-to-follow instrument that helps individuals understand the impact of their style in the communication process. Most individuals are unaware of how his/her personality is expressed when communicating with others. Four main styles are identified and clarified with suggestions and strategies for personal development.
The workshop will begin with an 18-item instrument that can be quickly completed, scored, and interpreted during the training session. My BEST Communication Style is a stimulating, interactive lecture that will increase understanding amongst co-workers and assist in building healthy communication skills for your team.

Stress, Anxiety, and High Performance
(Barb Egan)
Stress and anxiety are like holding a glass of water in your outstretched arm. Think about them for a short time and everything is fine. Think about them for a longer period of time and they begin to feel uncomfortable. And if you think about them all of the time, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything. Imagine how this can impact how you feel, how you perform. Learn practical strategies from a former professional athlete and coach, and specialist in performance anxiety on how to overcome these common obstacles.
