SkyLab Training helps management teams transform what it is for them to lead. Through SkyLab Training you have the opportunity to continue to develop leadership skills in a consistent, strategic manner.

Through SkyLab Training, your managers are engaged in small group discussions of leadership theory and then actively participate in the discovery and practice of new leadership skills. By the completion of any program your managers will be able to immediately use the knowledge and skills learned.

We help you to:

• Continue to build the skill levels of your management force.
• Expose your management team to proven leadership practices, principles, and models.
• Generate immediate results.

:: POTENTIAL CANDIDATES

Small teams of:

• Supervisors
• Managers
• Executive Staff
• Leaders of Poorly Performing Business Units
• Leaders of Business Units Ready For More Challenge

SkyLab facilitates small management team instruction. We lead high energy, engaging workshops that provoke new ways of thinking and behaving.

We understand the importance of the learning environment. We deliberately generate an environment that stimulates learning and participation. We ensure that our participants:

• Know what's in it for them
• Understand what's expected
• Connect with other people
• Are challenged to make choices
• Believe they can immediately generate positive outcomes
• Are comfortable showing what they do and do not know
• Help to control the pace, navigation, and delivery
• Receive information in small units with a clear message
• Learn things close to the time they need them
• Receive encouragement from the facilitator
• Are exposed to a variety of learning modalities
• Confront “maybes” instead of “certainties”
• Get to practice
• Make mistakes and try again
• Have FUN

Our materials are developed to heighten the immediate application of theory to real work situations. These materials are:

• Clear – easy to understand
• Compelling – motivate interest and application
• Consistent – the individual modules are interdependent

SkyLab Training engages participants by:

1. Presenting information as tentative, which asks the participant to assess its integrity.
   
   
2. Offering opportunities to compare one's views to those of others.
   
   
3. Providing challenges that call on one's experience.
   
   
4. Making connections to a variety of contexts.

We lead workshops at your workplace or site of choice.
