Over the Rainbow

Joy & Laughter in the Workplace

Is Your Organization Experiencing Turbulence Due to:

• Rapid Change?
• High Growth?
• Financial Constraints?
• Re-Organization?

• Executive team changes?
• A Merger?
• Downsizing?
• High Staff Turnover?

Re-vitalize your team with this upbeat and engaging session!

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, when turbulence sweeps through organizations, fear and uncertainty can dominate. The result....a negative impact on your bottom line through increased turnover, higher short term disability costs due to stress leaves, absenteeism, burnout, and poor morale. During turbulent times, joy and laughter are often the last emotions people feel capable of expressing. By developing strategies to "re-charge their batteries", employees can relieve stress and renew energy, hope and enthusiasm. Out of this resourceful state, they will be able to generate creative and fresh solutions to the challenges that confront your organization. Participants will:

• get a glimpse at what's in the pot of gold at the end of their rainbows - a vision of the shape they would like their lives to take both on and off the job
• learn how to let this vision inspire them when times are tough
• deal with change and uncertainty more effectively
• pinpoint obstacles that stand between them and their dreams

The Wizard of Oz is a powerful story filled with important lessons for modern corporations. We'll follow Dorothy on her journey and glean important lessons from each character she visits in the story. The strategies that she uses to overcome her own struggles and turbulent twisters, literally and emotionally, will help your team learn, grows and develops the resources to cope with organizational and personal turmoil.

I liked the active nature of this session, nice pacing, variety of activities, lots of interaction. Very good - thanks.
