Many times when people think of or describe conflict it is a negative element. Conflict can also be a very good thing for your relationships and your team. Leaders need to learn how to recognize the benefits of conflict and how to utilize it to be a team building component and to strengthen relationships rather than weakening them. In this hour, Tony pulls back the curtain on dealing with conflict and how to best deal with it in your leadership role.

You will learn:

  • The conflict-free zone myth
  • The dark side of conflict

Practically Free Webinar-How To Make Better Decisions

Monday, 6/10/2013 Online

Most people don’t really discern and weigh both the consequences and/or benefits of their decisions. Quite frequently, we buzz through our lives totally unaware of the thoughts we are thinking and the actions we are taking. Do you realize every single decision we make shapes our current situation? It forms who we are, because many times we follow through on decisions we make and we are not even aware we are doing it.

In this session, Tony helps you to begin to realize what a decision does. A decision causes a chain of events to occur. This is how we form habits. One decision leads to another, then another, then another and before long, we are on auto-pilot, not even making a conscious decision, but rather operating in default mode

You will learn:

  • The real power of your decisions
  • 4 steps in the decision making process
  • How going public with your decision empowers you
