Leadership development
Today’s successful leaders are adaptable, flexible, empathetic and driven to accomplish great things. They understand the task at hand and can successfully build effective teams and inspire team members to obtain superior results. Great Outcomes Consulting can help you understand the differences between leadership and management—and transform mere managers into true leaders. Our proven leadership training is aligned with your organization’s strategy, culture, vision and goals and includes hands-on experience through role playing. This interactive, practical approach to training provides lasting lessons and gives your employees proven skills they can transfer directly from the hypothetical to the actual, allowing them to quickly address real work challenges and issues.
Team building
Collaborating with others as part of a high-performing team is the key to satisfying customers and increasing business success. Building the team and creating the environment for success is much easier said than done. With more than 20 years of leadership experience, Great Outcomes Consulting knows how to help you coach and guide your team to peak performance. We can help you build an outstanding team by increasing motivation, improving communication and building trust among team members. Our team-building training programs energize, inspire and motivate you and your team to become a powerful, high-performing group that works smoothly and efficiently to achieve positive results.
Rewards & recognition planning
Employee recognition is a powerful tool you can use to reinforce and reward the positive outcomes your people create for your business. By recognizing your employees effectively, you reinforce the actions and behaviors you most want to see them repeat. Great Outcomes Consulting can help you design and implement a simple, yet powerful and effective employee reward and recognition system. This program provides a powerful incentive and rewards employees for their positive contributions to the success of your organization.
Strategy development and implementation
Is significant teamwork needed for your organization to achieve a specific business objective? Or has your team been asked to take on a special strategic project that requires extensive teamwork across the organization? Great Outcomes Consulting can provide comprehensive strategy development sessions to help you clearly define milestones, develop a comprehensive plan to achieve objectives and get each member of your team on board and eager to make it happen. Using humor and targeted activities to engage each member of the team, we’ll draw out your team’s best thinking, including how to address the potential hurdles to success.
Professional business coaching
Are your sales skills in need of a tune-up? Great Outcomes Consulting can work with you to increase your consultative sales skills. We’ll watch you in action, then use these observations to tailor the training to your specific needs.
Training | Needs analysis and design
New procedures, new requirements, new products—all of these can make it difficult for even your best performers to stay at the top of their game. When your team falters, Great Outcomes Consulting can help you assess the situation to determine whether additional, targeted training is needed…or if your systems and rewards aren’t allowing your team to achieve. If additional training is required, we’ll work with you and your team to define the type of training needed and tailor it to your team’s particular hurdles and goals.
Skill-building training
Building a better widget or selling more widgets requires more than technical knowledge and skill. When your team has all the technical skill and yet still struggles to deliver results, Great Outcomes Consulting can help. Combining a bit of theory with plenty of practical techniques to build proficiency and confidence, we’ll provide personalized group and individual training to build strong sales, interpersonal communications and presentation skills.
- Sales Skills. If you’re in a relationship-building business, Great Outcomes Consulting can work with your team to increase their consultative sale skills. We’ll watch members of your sales team in action, then use those observations to tailor training to your business and the specific needs of the team.
- Communications Skills. Strong relationships—both inside and outside the organization—form the foundation of successful businesses. Great Outcomes Consulting can help you and your team increase your personal and professional effectiveness. We’ll help you understand and adjust your personal communication preferences to the preferences of colleagues, clients and vendors. Then we’ll help you improve your questioning and listening skills to develop stronger bonds and levels of trust. Tailored to your organization, the training will introduce techniques that can help you more effectively communicate and increase your influence with your team, peers and clients.
- Presentation Skills. Public speaking ranks as one of the most feared professional activities. Great Outcomes Consulting can help reduce the stress of public speaking. This training will help you and your team members feel more confident and make more effective and memorable (in a good way) presentations. We outline key components to outstanding presentations, demonstrate strategies to overcome anxiety and help presenters deliver key messages that stick.
- Networking Skills. Networking is second only to client recommendations and referrals as the most economical and effective method of bringing on board more clients. As with any activity, taking the first step is always the biggest hurdle; while the first step is not difficult, it is easier to procrastinate than to do what is uncomfortable. Great Outcomes Consulting provides training that breaks networking into easy, comfortable activities that can increase your reach and presence in the community.
