3. VISION CASTING: The core of leadership, a process for maximizing how we think and subsequently what we do
4. MANAGING CONFLICT: How to achieve positive outcomes in tough situations
5. EMOTIONAL MATURITY: Recognizing and maximizing our impact on those that we lead
6. SELF-CARE AND WORK-LIFE ALIGNMENT: Keys to elite performance via stress-reduction and recovery

Client Reflection

“What I noted to my people is that it is not the academic/intellectual understanding that separates the Hayes approach – it is their basic compassion and humanity that they bring to the discussion. One really can manage in a principled environment, even when you have to make tough decisions, and Hayes communicates that in both direct and indirect ways. I have a lot of people who I believe could profit from exposure or reinforcement of this workshop.”
