This also gives the participant the knowledge needed to help themselves and/or others become aware of the grieving process.

Leadership Skills in Building a Stronger Team
In the beginning, many of our cultural aspects were at the forefront in a debate where respect was the ultimate goal. We begin this session with sharing about the two row wampum, and the original rules we were to follow when working together. The Two Row wampum explains how we were meant to use our cultural ways to work together and treat everyone as equals. When our native communities have started using western cultures and philosophies of the hierarchical system, native people in the workforce lose their ability to treat everyone as equals, then dissention occurs. Everyone has varied backgrounds, and lifestyles. Many come into the workforce carrying a lot of personal baggage from life traumas, past pains, and broken trusts. Self esteem and growth must be nurtured as the team strives to reach toward goals.
Learn about what it takes to be a very effective leader. Take an assessment to find out what leadership strengths you have. Understand why some people in the workplace have a difficult time getting along. Learn the motivations of every individual in your workplace.
Turn performance evaluations from a dreaded event to a positive learning experience. Quit fighting fires in the workplace and insure problems don't pile on your desk again. Organize your workweek and practice the "Cybill Syndrome". Know the purpose of each role, and schedule yourself and your team accordingly.
Ask specific questions to yourself and your team to ensure the mission is being followed. Take an Assessment to see if you are effectively funneling the organizational goals to your team.
Develop an Action Plan of key points learned to use on the job immediately.
Duration: 2 Days (16 hours)

Improve Performance with Delegation Skills
The goal of an effective leader is a successful and competent staff. Many people in our workforce may be afraid to release responsibility to others for fear of “losing their job”. This method provides for opportunities for the leader to be able to focus on new projects and tasks, and still have a very effective team handling projects that build their experience and pride for “a job well done.” The delegation defined will enhance communication between the teammates for a clear, well-outlined objective with minimal errors. It is recommended that participants keep a task in mind and use it for the exercises throughout the day.
Decide if you are ready to let go of that task to another person. Ask yourself key questions to ensure you and the other person is ready. Define the delegation task with the end result in mind. Define which tasks to keep, which to delegate. Use the delegation tools to ensure the person knows exactly what you want, and how to get it.
Effectively monitor progress without "invading" and creating hostility. Use several methods to develop yourself and your team's abilities. Recognize and analyze achievements, discuss problems and solutions using the Learning Opportunities form.
Take the new things learned and use immediately at work!
Duration: 1 day (8 Hours)

EMBRACING OUR NATIVE CULTURE IN
STRATEGIC PLANNING
The governmental organizations in our workplace have only been around
for a few years. However, our traditions and cultures have been around
before history has been documented. Why is it challenging for many of our
native people to adapt to the rigorous rules and hierarchy of a western
organizational structure? Before this type of work began, people treated
and respected each other equally, and worked together for the sake of the
whole community.
This method of planning involves a holistic view of the spiritual and
cultural roots that guided us to where we are today. The information and
meaning behind the two row wampum, and how we may direct our visions and
goals by grounding ourselves and looking seven generations ahead. We came
from using the democratic, everyone equal scenario to the hierarchical,
higher and lower level workers society.
This strategic planning conference can be done at the organization or
off site, where minimal interruptions occur. We take time to assess where
the needs are in the organization, and structure our facilitation to meet
those needs.
Duration: 2-3 days (depending on 1,3,5,10-year strategic plans)
