Workshops

Productive to the Max has helped thousands of clients in both Canada and the United States to achieve new levels of productivity and to learn work/life balancing skills and the value of setting SMARTER goals.

We offer one-half day, full-day and multiple-day workshop sessions during which our audiences learn how to be more effective and productive in performing day-to-day tasks. Our Workshops teach realistic and timely solutions that really work in today’s fast paced and ever changing work environment.

Productive to the Max can design a single customized workshop, or a series, specifically to address the special issues unique to your organization.

Delivery of our workshops is typically in private session, on-site, or within convention or retreat venues, and enables us to customize the session(s) to meet your group’s specific needs. This allows your people to focus on the skills they need in their workplace and for discussion of proprietary matters in confidence when held on-site. The group also benefits from the synergy of group dynamics and gives staff the opportunity to put their new skills into meaningful practice while the workshop leader is available to coach them.

Consider these advantages:

• We can focus the training to meet the needs of small work units, divisions, or the entire organization.
• Private on-site training is cost-effective. Costs are normally much less than sending the same number of people to public sessions and the training can be customized to the needs of your group.
• We can be available to your organization for post-workshop coaching and performance monitoring.
• We can provide “Lunch ‘n Learn” sessions in a variety of time slots and on topics and modules of your choosing.
