I offer a variety of seminar options that can work for your business and boost your bottom line. Here is a sample of the programs I offer:

Producing Top Performers
Management is responsible for recognizing and developing top talent within employees. Discovering this talent can be a challenge. My seminar on producing top performers speaks to the role of the manager. So often managers don't want to develop employees because they feel threatened or they might think it is easier to just replace the employee. I cover strategic training tactics, personality compatibility, Tamra Lowe's motivational DNA principles, and teaching methods that work.

Efficiency Seminars

Does your business need a boost? Are your employees unmotivated, unprofessional, or uninterested in reaching goals you have set? If so, one of my motivational training seminars could be exactly what your staff needs. I offer an on-site training class that addresses these issues.

Professionalism Seminars
Have some of your employees forgot they are at work? Showing up sloppy, tired, and grumpy? Are they treating your customers like they are a interference with their facebook time? Let me crack my professionalism whip on them! I offer a candid seminar that gets right to core of laid back behavior.

Visual Merchandising Services
Do you own a retail store that needs a revamp? Optimizing the look of your store is critical in how it and the products or services you offer will be perceive by your customers. I have over 15 years experience in retail visual planning and execution. I can create a plan for your shop that won't break the bank. I try to incorporate existing materials and repurpose what you already have on the sales floor or in storage. I can do a complete visual floor plan, mapping out ideal customer traffic flow and optimizing staging for merchandise that makes your job easier. I also do seasonal decorating and window campaigns. If you are ready to put that "WOW" back into your space and boost sales then now is the time for some visual voodoo!

Retail Therapy
This program is a combination of many of my seminars. It highlights critical issues that many retail store staffs and management face. My goal is to bring it back to the basics. Management and staff have an opportunity to refocus on their role in the company. I offer on-site training for management and staff in personal adjustment and development, leadership, role clarity, visual merchandising, effective performance appraisals, and professionalism. I can also rrevamp employee job descriptions and policies to comply with ADA and all state and federal laws and pperform competitive analysis for your industry specific needs. I also am available for interviewing, on boarding, and training needs.

Academic Coaching

I have created ONTASKtm curriculum for your students grades 7-12 to cultivate their much needed study skills. I work on a contract basis for school districts and also work with individual students. ONTASKtm was created when I was exposed to the lack of basic study skills students poses. ONTASKtm focuses on the flowing core issues that effect scholastic performance and was developed as structured tutoring program for at-risk students.
O- Organization
N- Note-taking
T- Test Taking Strategies
A- Attitude
S- Study Skills & Reading
K- Knowledge Application
These six areas of focus are critical to developing a student's ability to achieve his/her potential in the classroom. Many students simply don't know how to study. This program teaches them basic skills and easy-to-remember tactics to use in class.
