Think About It!  

"Think About It!" (this program) covers topics related to workplace and life success. Come ride with Sylvia on your road to success with stops along the way at places such as (but not exclusive to)...becoming a better communicator, presenting yourself positively, life balance, self esteem, interviewing skills, leadership, what it takes to get promoted, and other work-life topics. Schedule your listening and learning with a group and continue discussion on our topics at lunch (or other meal time) or at a department meeting for even greater personal and professional impact. Download segments and listen to them while you commute or when you travel; have discussions with your colleagues, employees, or families. The more who learn and grow from these segments, the more I fulfill my goal and sustain my passion for teaching others and continued learning. =============================================================================== Sylvia is your expert on the "people skills" for workplace, business - and life - success. She is Founder and Chief Everything Officer (CEO) of Springboard Training. She is an author of books and articles, a workshop facilitator, keynote speaker, and television talk show host.

    The Way It’s Always Been Done

    “But we’ve always done it that way. “It’s always been this way.” “It will never work.” How many similar excuses have you heard or used? Zig Ziglar—motivational speaker and success guru—calls it stinkin’ thinkin’. I just call them sorry-a__ excuses for being lazy or short-sighted. Have I used them? Of course! I’m human. I believe, however, that those for whom I’ve had the privilege of leading over the past decade will confirm that I catch and challenge myself, and others, to get past these thoughts and think beyond conformity and “the past”. . In this program we will: (1) Reveal some of the phrases that get in our way; (2) Examine reasons why we say or think “Always/never that way” and why such thinking is harmful for ourselves and our organizations; (3) Hear stories of such thinking in action, to illustrate the above points; (4) Accept the challenge to overcome our “but it’s…” thoughts to think beyond conformity and the past. . NOTE: To learn how to overcome this "But it..." thinking cycle and other "people skills for success", sign up for learning opportunities at Subscribe2Succeed.com.

    Listen! Improve Your Sales and Customer Service Results

    Are you "in sales" or "in customer service"? (Hint: The answer is "yes" for anyone reading this.) Whether you outright exchange a product or service for money or not, you sell yourself and serve others when you interact with people. Most of us interact with SOMEONE at some time! When we do, how we LISTEN is as important as how and what we say. This session defines "active listening", explains the importance of acquiring and practicing active listening skills, and identifies specific behaviors that represent what we call "active listening skills".

    When You Drop Your Bike, The Basics Get You Going Again

    If you ride a motorcycle you will drop your bike at least once during your riding experience through the years. If you ride a bicycle you are sure to take a spill at some point in time when you ride long enough. Falling is a rite of passage; so is getting back up and on with the ride. In life, dropping your bike is a metaphor for encountering tough times; experiencing down-turns. How you pick yourself up and move forward through difficulties depends on factors learned, natural to you, and nurtured within you. A motorcyclist resorts to the basics of riding protocol to pick up a heavy bike and get back to the ride. In this session we examine the basics of interpersonal skills we employ to pick ourselves up and move through our heavy loads to get to our destinations, whether a job, career, goal, business, relationship, or other aspect of life.

    How To Keep Your Job When Layoffs Loom

    Sylvia Henderson covers topics related to workplace and life success. In this segment Sylvia provides tips for lessening the chance that you are the first one picked to receive a "pink slip", otherwise known as layoff, downsizing, rightsizing, reorganizing, and other such terms. While there are no guarantees of keeping a job, there are ways to ensure and communicate your value to the organization as much as possible. Following these tips may provide just the right edge for you.

    Civil, Right: Correctness in Civility With Others

    "In the ‘olden days’ people used to show RESPECT!” “We don’t have to invite each other home for dinner; we just need to be CIVIL around here.” Do either of these statements sound familiar? The workplace; school; volunteer opportunity; or other environment where we work with more than ourselves requires a modicum of acceptable interpersonal social behavior. Defining “acceptable behavior” and determining whether we want to practice it are our challenges. We’re not talking about the complexities of productive teamwork here. We’re talking just getting along with others with whom we must spend time. In this success segment we will: (a.)Define “civil/ity”, “right”, “correctness”, and “appropriate behavior”, (b.) Determine the importance of being civil and practicing appropriate social behaviors, and (c.) Identify specific behaviors that eliminate—or at least minimize—contentiousness in environments where people must work, learn, play, volunteer, pray, and otherwise be together…not necessarily having picked each other’s company by choice.

    Excellent Customer Service: Give It. Get It?

    Excellent customer service has become a common phrase repeatedly ignored. When business is good it is usually due to a combination of a business earning a reputation for offering a quality product or service, good customer service, and positive external economic factors. When business is bad it is more imperative than ever to maintain—and up the ante with—excellent customer service. Businesses that (and employees who) do so survive tough times and position themselves to thrive when “times are good again”. In this session we: (1) Define “customer”, “service”, and “excellence”, (2) Tie the importance of excellent customer service to tough business times, (3) Identify ways to consider excellent customer service and note examples of how we encounter such service, and (4) Meet the challenge to examine ways we can give excellent customer service by going beyond “just what we need to do for the job”.

    Success Language: Work-Life Skills for Success (Part 7 – It’s Time: How To Be ‘On Time’ for Appointm

    “Meeting starts at 9:00AM.” “I’ll be at the entrance at 3:15PM.” “Class starts promptly at 1:30PM.” “Pick me up at 7:20AM.” We issue—or hear—some version of these statements throughout our lives. Whether at work, play, civic, medical, or other appointments, we have time milestones to meet. Yet how many times are we actually “on time”? In this segment you receive a specific process for being on time more often and with greater success. You hear why being on time is important, how I learned a surefire process for being on time, and a step-by-step procedure you can implement to ensure that you, too, show up on time. Pass this audio program along to someone else you know who seems to have an “on time” issue. You can say that I made you do it! This program is part of a multi-part series on work-life skills for success based on the "Success Language" programs, card deck, and book by Sylvia Henderson. Cards and book are available at Amazon.com or at Sylvia’s website—SpringboardTraining.com, educational tools link. Optional worksheet available upon request.
