Researched Based Training Systems

ALL of Untie the Knots® Training Systems include the “knots free approach” practices from Ty's fourteen-years of research, surveys and interviews. His ultimate goal while personally developing each training system is to keep every dynamic program up-to-date, take-home value loaded, and cutting-edge.

Organizations stagnate if they do not change in response to changing marketplaces, new technologies, and evolving customer and workforce expectations. Leaders must be flexible and agile in the face of change. Leaders must adapt to change, manage others through it, and be champions of change themselves. This session will provide your executives, and mid- to upper-level managers with a fresh practical road map of how to adapt to and lead change within your organization. It's designed to put them on a path to identifying and untying the toxic knots of change that are on there way to your organization before change takes place, or already plaguing and troubling your organization after change has been implemented.

This training program focuses on the challenges of leading in a changing world, exploring:

• The dynamics of change and reasons for resistance
• How to help your team succeed in the face of change
• Strategies for influencing others to support new initiatives
• How to be an initiator of change, rather than a reactor
• How to engage a team’s energy, motivation, and creativity

This session will provide you with an understanding of the conflict coaching process, techniques of conflict coaching, and methods for successfully integrating conflict coaching into an ADR (alternative dispute resolution) process. Conflict coaching provides disputants with the skills they need to communicate effectively with each other during any stage of the dispute resolution process. A key goal of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is to resolve disputes at the lowest level possible with the least number of external people involved. Conflict coaching accomplishes this by encouraging direct resolution between the two disputants.

Special Features: Participation in mock coaching sessions, including professional critiquing and skill pointers, will help you fine-tune the skills you learn.

The success and optimal performance within any company is based on the proactive abilities of all employees. The three most common performance sabotaging problems found within many companies today are: Procrastination, Poor Time Management and Non-Productive Work Habits. From the executive leaders down to the front line employees, people are reactive rather than proactive. Rather than acting towards long-term goals, they react to external pressures. Ty will teach participants how to reverse this process. Through stimulating and interactive participation and analysis of their own data, participants learn a set of tools which they can apply on a continuing basis. In this high-powered working session, you will identify and begin the process to overcome procrastination and poor time management issues—once and for all. Proven time management, prioritizing, organization and proactive skills will help employees on all levels to determine how much time, energy and resources are needed to get their tasks and projects done—much sooner then later. In turn, putting your organization on track to meet and exceed its set goals and strategic plans due to optimal performance and momentous proactive efforts.
