Leadership Training

‘joy in work’let’s change the way we work  

The training that Gina provides centers around the work of Dr. Deming and it is about root cause analysis. It is practical and works on the issues that companies, managers and employees are working on currently. The learning is immediate and it gets to root issues quickly.

Examples include:

Gina teaches teams how to look at problems differently and she teaches them to use different tools to solve problems – Process Flow Mapping, Plan Do Study Act (PDSA). These tools are used by managers and employees alike. The goal is for them to carry it forward on their own. It is working on the “work together.” The benefit is employee engagement naturally goes up….culture gets better quickly and profits go up. These organizations become market leaders and they need to hire more people to keep up with the demand and customers love their experiences. This training addresses all the issues listed at the top of this page.
