Positive Impact: How to be the person successful companies fight to keep

"Employee development is a unique combination of 'when to' and 'how to'. When we give attention to both of these areas, we begin to see incredible results, sometimes in the places where we least expect it."

Chip Wilson, CEO, 360 Solutions

Most companies today, whether large or small, struggle with the common dilemma of how to make their organization more productive. At Kaizen we believe it starts with knowledgeable employees. The Positive Impact training program instills high performance behaviors that create strong organizations, productive in the areas where it counts the most.

Program participants will learn to:

  • Communicate openly and directly.
  • Work smarter, harder, faster, and better.
  • Demonstrate "value added".
  • Look for leadership opportunities.
  • Embrace and initiate change.
  • Have a positive impact on their company, customers, and colleagues.
  • Take charge of their personal life.

As individuals within an organization master the behaviors taught in this program, the organization has the opportunity to reap the rewards of sustainable improvements in productivity.

Structure and Format

"Positive Impact" consists of seven modules (two to three hours in length) and can be delivered in a variety of ways, including half-day sessions, full-day sessions, or once a week. This program was designed to develop behaviors that are beneficial at all levels of an organization and is recommended for all employees. A company-wide implementation of this program can produce measurable results for any organization.

This program can be taught to a large group or even a single leader with the trainer acting as a personal coach. The number of participants, structure and format can all be tailored to fit the needs of your organization.

The modules include many individual and group exercises that enliven the training and ensure that participants translate the principles into a personal plan of action.
