Professional Development

Cultivage offers customized trainings, consulting and coaching to help your team achieve targeted goals in today’s dynamic market.

All trainings can be facilitated in person or in virtual formats.

Sample offerings include:

- COACHING SKILLS FOR LEADERS & MANAGERS
  Coaching skills help leaders and managers inspire high engagement, drive peak performance, settle conflicts, create buy-in and influence stake holders. In this training, participants learn powerful questioning techniques, strategies for improving accountability, listening skills for building trust and rapport, and other coaching skills to maximize their impact as a leader and manager.

- EMOTIONAL AGILITY FOR PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS
  Just as athletes benefit from physical agility training, professionals reap rewards from emotional agility training in the workplace. Managing difficult emotions, developing greater resiliency, and reading the social landscape are just a few of the critical skills required in today’s fast-paced world. In this training, participants learn how to manage a wide range of emotions, work through conflict, and effectively use emotions as fuel for catalyzing change and creating positive working environments.

- MANAGING DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE
  A high correlation exists between the quality of leadership and the ability to effectively communicate and manage difficult conversations. Leaders are often expected to dissolve emotionally tense situations by engaging in powerful dialogue, yet don’t always have the tools to do so. In this training, participants discover practical strategies to prepare for and execute difficult conversations, enhance communication, and manage conflict in ways that positively impact performance and relationships.

- LEVERAGING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES: FROM BOOMERS TO MILLENNIALS TO GENERATION Z
  Each generation brings essential perspectives to the workforce. Effectively leveraging these perspectives and ensuring differences don’t cause unnecessary friction is critical for an organization’s bottom line. In this training, participants learn how to facilitate both an understanding and sharing of best practices to maximize the contributions of an age-diverse workforce.

- INNOVATION SKILLS FOR LEADERS & MANAGERS
  For many organizations to survive and thrive, leaders and managers must know how to spot opportunities and foster new ways of conducting business. They can also benefit by creating cultures that allow for the rapid testing of ideas. This course offers practical strategies to help leaders and managers enhance their visionary capacity, identify opportunities, generate ideas and novel business solutions, and explore an action/test vs. analysis/research approach to innovation.

- LEADERSHIP STRATEGY LABS
  Boosting motivation, promoting accountability, ensuring follow-through, handling conflicts. overseeing direct reports, and meeting deadlines – these are all duties leaders & managers perform daily. Yet lack of experience, fatigue and isolation can hinder abilities to manage the work of others. This series of strategy labs is perfect for both first timers and veterans looking to brush up on leadership & managerial skills.

“Our workshop with Cultivage was highly impactful! They took the time to understand the work we do, our people, and our values to create a fully customized program that greatly exceeded our expectations. Highly professional, Cultivage was a pleasure to work with and was extremely flexible from start to finish. Their stimulating, hands-on approach and thorough delivery in communicating social and behavioral theories were effective as they challenged us to consider the practical implementations in our everyday consulting work. Our only challenge was not having enough time to spend together!”
