Cultivating a Wise Response is an engaging training and coaching program that helps employees apply the fundamental difference between a Reaction and a Response to everyday workplace situations.
Leaders can be visionary. Managers can be empowering. But if they make a habit of Reacting to their narrow experiences of situations, they'll constantly struggle to succeed in their roles. Everything becomes difficult. Conflict over petty disagreements and a focus on less important details consumes their time, attention and resources.
However, if they've been taught to Respond, they'll be more effective at leveraging relationships, developing creative solutions, building trust, driving performance, achieving goals and motivating others. In this way, Responding is a base competency that amplifies inherent skill and previous training.

Building Habits that Last: Coaching
We've all been to that spectacular training course or seminar. After a day or two with a dynamic presenter, we leave the room exhausted, but committed to changing the world. However, we return to the office the next morning, and we're quickly inundated with voice mail, e-mail and countless other distractions. Weeks or months later we wipe the dust off the training binder and wish we'd have time to implement the concepts. In fact, it takes 21 - 28 days of focused effort to break a habit.
Cultivating a Wise Response integrates intensive one-on-one coaching for each participant. In these weekly phone coaching sessions, employees review homework assignments and discuss how they are applying the principles to real situations in the workplace. Over a period of 28 days they replace old habits with new, more productive ones.
Below are quotes from recent mid-level manager participants:
“I’ve enjoyed the thought-provoking discussions that push me in the direction of Response and not get pulled to React like everyone else.”
“I definitely had several a-ha moments this morning. Good call.”
“These sessions have been really helpful. I can see where I’m at and where I need to go.”
“I appreciate the opportunity to focus on this. These sessions make me stop and think about things that I tend to blow by in the normal pace of work.”
