Consults, Workshops, Seminars and Keynotes
Executive Presence
Do you ever wonder what your “people” think about your leadership, your integrity and your reputation? Do you ever ask your people what suggestions they may have about your corporate objectives? Discover if you and your senior team are an example of the corporate and professional image you want your employees to model themselves after.
Communication Pitfalls
Airlines have unique challenges when it comes to communicating their message across vast networks and even within single station operations. National and International airlines have multi level departments and employees working shifts of all lengths and variations. The message that starts at the top is often not the same by the time it gets to the front line employees. Learn some simple but effective methods and techniques to improve your company's internal communications in an impactful and positive way.
Labour Costs and Motivation
Airlines must keep their labour costs lean and under control in order to remain competitive, which in many cases means high turnover within the employee ranks. Not all employees are motivated solely by pay. Learn what other incentives speak to your labour force and get your people feeling motivated, engaged, valued, respected, and performing at a much higher level.
Relationship Building
Airline employees are a unique and distinct work force who thrive on high-pressure situations. Healthy and positive internal relationships and support systems are critical in an airline environment. Conflict, when it happens, needs to be addressed. A positive and healthy work environment cannot be regulated, it needs to be established, maintained and nurtured. Learn to read the signs and symptoms of when your team is struggling or disillusioned and help them to get back on track.
