Clients like our material because it isn't all lecture and rarely uses PowerPoints, but rather, provides lots of interaction among participants. We want you to be able to get and hold your participants’ attention!
Ah…summer! I love the hot weather, but sooner or later the computers and printers react to the humidity and we have to shut the windows and turn on the air.
We just launched the Coaching AudioCasts. The Coaching: An Introduction AudioCast is free with the purchase of any other Coaching AudioCast (The Coaching Process, The Coaching Elements, The Coaching Discussion, and More on Coaching). Can’t decide? Save money and buy all five in a "bundle." The Training Kits include the AudioCasts plus the eWorkbooks.
We’ve added a few more articles to our website.
I recently read that "According to the SHRM/ERC study, only 23 percent of HR professionals say that their organizations have a comprehensive ethics and compliance program in place, and 7 percent report that their employer has no program at all. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (FSGO) define a comprehensive ethics and compliance program as one that includes six components:
- Written standards of ethical workplace conduct.
- Means for an employee to anonymously report violations of ethics standards.
- Orientation or training on ethical workplace conduct.
- A specific office, telephone line, e-mail address, or Website where employees can get advice about ethics-related issues.
- Evaluation of ethical conduct as part of regular performance appraisals.
- Discipline for employees who commit ethics violations
"Ethical misconduct most commonly identified by HR professionals included abusive or intimidating behavior toward fellow employees, plus abuse of e-mail or Internet privileges. Employees (U.S. average) cited instances of colleagues calling in 'sick' inappropriately, and people taking credit for someone else’s work."
To "encourage" you to facilitate some ethics training, for the month of August, our Business Ethics module will be available for $8,000. Too much for your small organization? Or you’re a consultant who wants to offer the training to clients, but a one-time charge isn’t going to work? Then call me and we’ll work something out. This is too important not to address.

Susan’s Picks is a new button on our website highlighting friends who offer entirely different experiences than "training." Ruth Shilling, who leads awe-inspiring trips to Egypt, was just mentioned in our recent newsletter.
