Synnabar Consulting, Inc. offers both on-site and public training
programs, seminars, and workshops in all of our consulting services.
We offer these trainings in three forms:
- End users (i.e. those acquiring a particular skill)
- HR and Training Professionals
- Consultants wishing to extend their capabilities
Synnabar training events cover every aspect of the change process
for individuals, teams, and organizations, all with the overriding
objective of:
Defining Tomorrow
A strategic process for inventing the future. Who do we want to
be?
Assessing Today
Taking stock. Employing state-of-the-art methodologies to understand
who we are today. How are we doing?
Making the Change
Producing a plan distilled from our understanding of the gap between
who/where we are and who/where we want to be. Implementing that
plan.
Measuring Progress
Reassessing where we are, re-evaluating where we want to be, refining
the plan, and continuing the implementation.
The Challenge
At a time of fierce competition, reduced budgets, and a fast changing
marketplace, how can a business not only retain its human resource
capital, but enhance its effectiveness?
World-class training based upon the very latest in human performance
technology releases the potential of an organization’s human
resource capital while providing a significant personal benefit
to the recipients.
At Synnabar Consulting, we believe that a business’s key
resource for growth and profitability is its people.
High-Impact Training
Synnabar Consulting’s Training Programs and Workshops are
high-impact designs that:
- engage the hearts and minds of participants
- are closely related to the business issues and challenges that
face the organization
- have clear opportunities for participants to apply their learning
to their job performance
- assemble the three essential ingredients for high performance:
feedback, motivation, and change partners
- deliver results.
Each of these elements is essential. In today’s business
environment, no company can afford to waste time or resources on
training that does not add value.
All our programs contain three essential elements:
- Developing understanding
- Acquiring Tools and Skills
- Achieving Competence: i.e., knowing when and how to use acquired
skills.
Follow-Up Programs
We know that the key to added value is to ensure that training
translates into real behavior change.
Synnabar Consulting also provides follow-up programs so that the
new skills and competencies developed will gain traction and produce
sustained change and improvement. These follow-up programs focus
on the application of the new skills, address problems, review examples,
and reinforce the initial workshops.
The Benefits

and performance

emotional intelligence), and a better understanding of their own

These programs achieve the following vital organizational objectives:

The benefits apply at every level in an organization.
Employee value is not about making employees happy. It is about
creating the necessary conditions for a motivated and committed
workforce that is required for your organization to succeed. The
contribution of individual contributors, managers, and executives
is the determining factor in a company’s growth.
For managers and leaders in the twenty-first century, it will be
imperative to develop people and skill sets at every level to enable
enterprises to manage change effectively. Our goal is to help you
design and implement a leadership training program that not only
teaches new skills, but more importantly, motivates everyone to
apply these skills and thereby enhance their performance.

A Synopsis of Recent Training Events
1. Tools for Optimizing Employee Motivation,
Engagement, and Commitment: the Facilitative Manager.
This course introduces concepts, skills, and tools for the Facilitative
Manager. This management style and skill set is a particularly effective
way of
- addressing organizational inertia

2. Management at the Speed of Change

3. A Manager’s Guide to Strategy
Implementation: Vertical Alignment
This program provides managers with a method for understanding how
their group aligns with and creates value for the organization’s
larger vision and mission. A step-by-step process is provided for
managers to utilize in their daily work planning, decision making,
and priority setting in order to keep their group in vertical alignment
with the organization’s strategy.
4. A Manager’s Guide to Strategy Implementation: Horizontal
Alignment
This program teaches managers the fundamental steps necessary for
Value Chain Management. In most business settings the activities
that create and add value are complex and often cross-functional.
In order to effectively manage this process it is necessary to be
able to view the “big picture” and identify potential
gaps, lapses, breakdowns, and vulnerabilities in the Value Chain.
It is then necessary to develop a specific plan and set of actions
targeted at improving the strength, efficiency, and effectiveness
of cross-functional activities.
5. Coaching and Mentoring for Managers
and Leaders
Increasingly central to the successful functioning of contemporary
managers and leaders is their ability to replace the command-and-control
mode of management with the manager-as-coach model. This model stresses
empowerment, development, and interpersonal consultation as opposed
to planning, controlling, and coordinating. Topics included in this
program are:
- the basics of coaching
- navigating the coaching relationship
- how to ask powerful questions
- how to develop effective behavior change and individual development
plans
- how to give and receive feedback
6. Effective Team Building

High-Impact Training Methodology
All of the training programs described above will be delivered
utilizing Synnabar’s high-impact training methodology. Central
to our training design is an understanding of the Adult Learning
and Behavior Change Model. These trainings are designed to engage
the hearts and minds of managers and leaders.
- Be closely connected to the business issues and challenges
that managers face daily.
- Have clear opportunities for participants to apply their learning
to their job performance.
- Be behaviorally based for easy identification of specific take-aways
from the training event.
- Deliver results.
We utilize an experiential learning process in order to engage
a learner’s emotional and cognitive abilities. In addition
we prefer to use a company’s real-time business challenges
in devising case studies, scenarios, and simulations. Our exercises
challenge learners to respond in ways that bypass their natural
reluctance to experiment with new approaches to old problems. Lessons
learned in this fashion are more likely to translate into prevailing
habit and practice, and therefore to be employed outside the training
context.
We at Synnabar Consulting are interested in developing collaborative
long-term relationships with our clients and potential clients.
We invite you to contact us so that we can learn more about your
organization, your needs, and discover together how we may best
be able to support your organization’s strategic goals.
Any of our programs, seminars, and workshops can be custom designed
to meet your organization’s needs.
