Organization Culture: A Canvas for the Compassionate Artist
On-Line Training Workshop with Compassion Advocate and Performance Competencies Expert
Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP

This Workshop is focused on the attributes of a carefully designed organization culture. You will begin by completing a culture profile to determine how constructive or counter-productive your organization’s culture is. You will identify the different attributes that affect employee engagement, new employee attraction, retention, and performance. As a result, you will be able to assess areas of opportunity. You will learn how to design, re-design, calibrate, re-calibrate, and determine ways that continuously improve your organization’s culture and its resulting influences. See how styles of compassion can be engaged to improve desired strategies and drive the change you need through the lens of culture.

When two organizations transition into a single culture the incongruities and differences between the two can be problematic. Similarly, the differences between two subgroups within an organization can adversely impact the performance of the organization as a whole. To facilitate alignment between the entities, you will learn how to identify shared values and behaviors and guide the respective leaders/supervisors by using carefully designed instrumentation and processes of compassion to a shared ideal

Diversity, Inclusion, Innovation, and New Wealth: Compassion as the Elixir of Wholeness
On-Line Training Workshop with Compassion Advocate and Performance Competencies Expert
Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP

How inclusive is your organization? To what extent are you aware of systemic biases that may be adversely impacting your objectives for collaboration, cooperation, teamwork, and profitability? Have you taken inventory of the behavioral norms that impede or promote inclusion, innovation, and increased profits? Are your organizational culture, structure, and personal behaviors properly aligned to create a system of compassion and “wholeness”? By completing our on-line inventory and assessment, you will be able to answer these questions and take subsequent action to optimize the diversity of your organization.

This workshop provides information on the factors that determine how inclusive your organization is as a whole and relative to the diverse segments of a larger community. You will be guided in the process of laying out a step-by-step plan of action to enhance your effectiveness and your reputation as a model of excellence and human equality. You will come to understand how diversity, inclusion, and intersectionality can spawn creativity, innovation, and new wealth and how compassion serves as an elixir for “wholeness.”

Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP 

This workshop provides information on the value of Stewardship. You will learn what other organizations have done to harness the concept of “thinking outside of the box” by going beyond personal self-interest by embracing the concept of universal enlightenment. We will analyze the potential for stewardship in your organization. The value and potential of each initiative will be captured, as we provide a comprehensive program of implementation. Of particular benefit will be an estimate of the return on investment, as you change the world of your leaders, your employees, your customers, and the world in which you conduct business.

Learn how to create a “legacy” for your organization. Determine how to optimize the “legacy” of each person who is trying to reach his or her full potential. Understand the meaning of and attraction to a shared purpose that the compassion of stewardship has for the generational differences in your organization. Explore the Seven Attributes of Stewardship: Values-centeredness; Selflessness; Purposefulness; Accountability; Being Integral; Disciplined; and Courageous. Formulate the major strategy action areas, critical initiatives, and timelines that ensure Success.

Make no mistake, this workshop requires critical thinking, vision, and determination, but you will walk away with a detailed plan for building a Legacy of Compassion and Lasting Value.

Enlightened Self-Interest: The Compassion of Recognizing the Power Within (R&R)
On-Line Training Workshop with Compassion Advocate and Performance Competencies Expert
Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP

Recognizing and rewarding employees oftentimes is an exercise of “carrots and sticks” for any number of organizations. The reality is that these so-called reward systems do not do what they are intended to do, namely incent workers to perform to desired levels of performance. This is because they lack the fundamental understanding that motivation is an “inside job.”

This workshop provides a rigorous analysis of why these systems do not “motivate.” By contrast, a scrupulous review of the “5R’s” for recognizing and rewarding employees will provide a treasure trove of information, as we explore the compassionate aspects of:

• Responsibility
• Respect
• Relationships
• Recognition
• Reward

Indeed, the 5R’s provide a model of Enlightened Self-Interest that benefits the employee, the organization for which they work, and the customers whom they serve.

Leadership: Turning the Organizational Pyramid Upside Down
On-Line Training Workshop with Compassion Advocate and Performance Competencies Expert
Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP

Learn how effective leaders inspire commitment, garner respect, and add value to what they do. By identifying targets for behavioral change, it is possible to increase leadership effectiveness, improve interpersonal relations, develop hidden potential, and identify development gaps which, when closed, can dramatically alter an individual’s emotional and behavioral profile over time.

In this workshop you will determine your personal effectiveness in leading and inspiring others by completing a Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI). We will identify the specific behaviors and styles that will make you an outstanding leader. Such styles are related to many important outcomes such as: job performance, problem-solving effectiveness, quality of interpersonal relations, salary, individual health and well-being, and one’s impact on organizational culture.

To provide an even deeper understanding of your behavioral styles and opportunities for change you will invite feedback from others with the ILF system (Item-Level Feedback). These two systems together will provide critical information for your becoming an Outstanding Leader. As a result, you will be able to turn the organizational pyramid upside down by empowering others to exceptional performance while you drive meaningful change with a bottom-up-top-down strategy.

Social Responsibility: The Competency of Caring for the World Outside
On-Line Training Workshop with Compassion Advocate and Performance Competencies Expert
Brayton Bowen, AM, SHRM-SCP

What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)? Why is it important? What is the value of “service above self”? Is your organization too busy to think outside of the box? Is it the case that it doesn’t want to expend the effort of time and money on what it might consider frivolous activity?

In this workshop you will learn how many organizations are benefiting from being Socially Responsible. You will come to appreciate how such efforts appeal to and attract certain segments of the workforce…and the marketplace. We will provide examples of how some organizations are benefiting by improving employee engagement and market reputation. You will see how they “stand out” as exemplary citizens, compassionate organizations, making a difference in the world.

Explore the metrics to lowering turnover, improving employee engagement, and increasing market reputation and awareness with the strategy of CSR. Once you identify the areas that are potential gold mines for your organization, we will work with you to formulate a CSR initiative, mapping out a detailed plan with a step-by-step time and action calendar toward  achieving your corporate objectives.
