Too often executives neglect to consider ways to engage their audiences when they make presentations. Socol Associates works with individuals or groups to deliver winning presentations which persuade, inform, train or motivate the audience.

Through videotaped practice, participants will experience the impact they have, and work on improving their presentation styles.


TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Calling a group of people a “team” does not ensure that they will operate with a shared vision. Teams need to be developed and nurtured in order to be productive and motivated to work together. Socol Associates offers off-site team development or workshops which provide instruction and practice in learning about their own and each others’ styles and motivations.


FACILITATION

1. Internal Consulting

Internal consultants walk a fine line between overstepping the boundary of being a colleague and truly being an advisor and partner. Socol Associates works with individuals or groups to learn how to meet their clients needs effectively. This includes establishing credibility, communicating clearly, encouraging line ownership and responsibility and defining roles and responsibilities.

2. Meeting Facilitation

Meetings often are time consuming and unproductive. Socol Associates works with departments or cross-functional groups to guide meetings and processes toward desired outcomes with respect, compassion, flexibility and neutrality. We guarantee all are energized by the process and enthusiastically involved in next steps and follow up.

3. Conflict Resolution

Poor communication is a primary cause of tension between people or departments. Socol Associates acts as a knowledgeable, objective facilitator to bring the parties together to resolve issues in a positive, win-win manner. We are committed to assisting in discovering common ground and mutual needs while learning to appreciate each other’s competencies. Participants identify cross-over points and develop productive action plans.
