Annette Simmons is President of Group Process Consulting, and has delivered keynote addresses, short interventions and training experiences that cause participants to rethink faulty assumptions that perpetuate faulty workplace behaviors. She is the author of four books, and has been featured on national radio shows and in newspapers and publications with national circulation. Her books have been published in eight different languages.
Ms. Simmons’ workshop will focus on two areas of critical importance to anyone wishing to build their capacity for effective leadership. The first half of the workshop focuses on understanding and recognizing dysfunctional office behaviors, and provides specific approaches to move people past the territorial games that sap organizational energy.
The workshop’s second half will help participants understand how storytelling in organizations can inspire trust and collaboration. When leaders learn the six principles of effective storytelling, they can make the kind of emotional connection with people that helps new visions become reality. The workshop includes time for skill practice, group comments, and interactive discussion.
