COMMUNICATION & TIME MANAGEMENT
for young-ish folks
Join a temporary learning community of peers to practice skills to help you thrive at work, at home, in the community -- skills for the rest of your life.
  • Find powerful, respectful ways to express your views, your needs, your gifts
  • Maintain focus, establish time boundaries, make decisions in tune with your values
  • See how feelings, even unpleasant ones, can engender creative responses
Situations at work and home often bring out our worst, not our best. Learn skills to develop self-confidence, engage your power, relieve stress, feel less awkward, find the right words, appreciate others' uniqueness.


SPEAK UP! how to talk with your boss
This two-session series develops your ability to communicate effectively and easily. You’ll not only learn about the best communication models, but also get hands-on practice in a safe learning environment.
  • In the first session, you’ll identify your own preferred communication style and that of your boss, practicing stylistic adaptation using simple cases. Between sessions you’ll hone your style awareness and identify a good situation for real-time practice.
  • In the second session, you’ll experience the impact of wording, tone-of-voice, and body language to show your best self without coming across as either apologetic or self-important. Then you’ll apply your skills through a simulated situation in a supportive environment.
Speak up with skill so the conversations with your boss are effective, fluent, and comfortable.

STRAIGHTEN UP hands-on clean-up session
Disorganization costs! We spend up to one-third of our time searching for stuff -- that’s $25,000 of a $75,000 salary. Straighten Up! can help you set up and maintain an attractive, functional workspace where everything is where you need it. The session kicks off with a lively demonstration of the 4-point Straighten Up! strategy.
  • Square — structure stuff and strategize
  • Sample — create systems from a small sample
  • Short sessions — work in easy, contained sessions
  • Stop — let the new way sink in
Then, Pam offers tailored, expert advice at your desk. The session closes with an energizing send-off to maintain your new system. Stop wasting time and energy -- Straighten Up!
