Buy NowWebinar: The Chemistry of Coaching
Take time to explore your career and relationships. A thriving career often comes from having a great guide or mentor… especially when blind spots make you swerve off the path to success. Sylvia’s best advice is to GET ALL THE HELP YOU CAN.
Some of the best help is with a certified coach. That is someone who has done his/her own personal and professional work and knows what it is like to feel the pain of defeat and the pride of the win.
What do you look for in a coach? Honestly, the same things you look for in a mate (well, almost). You want integrity, compassion, interest, intelligence, and an ear to bend when the going gets rough.
This video will help you determine:
- 1 The best questions to ask when searching for the perfect coach
- 2 Why you must make sure the coach can go back to the past and not just start with today
- 3 When it’s time to graduate from your coaching sessions
Webinar: Communicate to Captivate
Success over the long-term means more than letting your work speak for itself. YOU must speak for your work. It’s not about speaking over someone, tooting your own horn, or waiting to be polite. It’s about the words and phrases that will capture attention and captivate the listener.
This video will give you some techniques to communicate, captivate, and convince!
Build your communication skills:
- 1 Express your ideas powerfully and comfortably
- 2 Engage your colleagues with the creativity of the story
- 3 Enter into vital dialogues with the right words
- 4 Encourage others to align with you
Webinar: Transforming Conflict to Collaboration
High performing teams and families are always able to debate, disagree, and dispute. It’s when there is avoidance and denial that conflict gets swept under the rug, tensions fire up, and anger erupts.
When healthy conflict methods are learned then you’re able to listen to divergent points of view to make better decisions.
In this video, you will gain tools to:
- 1 Manage the emotional climate of your team (or family)
- 2 Maintain healthy listening and talking boundaries
- 3 Make and implement hard decisions in a timely manner

How to Speak Genderly
Did you ever wonder what happens to the words that come out of your mouth and go into someone else’s ears? How many times have you said “that’s not what I meant to say?” Or how many times have you said “What are you talking about?” Men and women react differently to stimulus words and the more you can use the right words at the right time the more your leadership skills will soar. This sets you in the right direction for healthy and meaningful conversations. This stops office politics in its tracks.

No Problems Here!
There is a great yet sad scene in the film “Titanic” where the captain of the biggest, most modern ship of the era suggests that a slight turn near an iceberg is all that is needed… until crunch! This is just like those at work who nod their heads in disbelief and say, “There were no signs that anything was wrong,” (Enron anyone?) except the signs are always there. This paper will help you know what to say to a denier or make you look at yourself in the mirror to see if this is one of your own patterns and what to do about it. This is a key behavior pattern that can destroy unless it is transformed.

DON’T BRING IT TO WORK AUDIBLE – UNABRIDGED
How can you get to the bottom of workplace behaviors that simply don’t work for you or your organization? Don’t Bring It to Work explores what happens when patterns originally created to cope with family conflicts are unleashed in the workplace? This groundbreaking book draws on the success of Sylvia Lafair’s PatternAware program Total Leadership Connections.Throughout the book, she shows how to break the cycle of pattern repetition and offers the tools that can turn unhealthy family baggage into creative energy that will foster better workplace associations and career success. Lafair identifies the 13 most common patterns that correspond to characters familiar to anyone who has ever worked in an office: Super Achiever, Rebel, Persecutor, Victim, Rescuer, Clown, Martyr, Splitter, Procrastinator, Drama Queen or King, Pleaser, Denier, and Avoider.To help overcome destructive behavior problems, she maps out the three main steps for becoming aware of patterns and finding the way OUT:
- 1 Observe your behavior to discern underlying patterns.
- 2 Understand and probe deeper to discover the origins of these patterns.
- 3 Transform your behavior by taking action to change.
The book includes a wealth of real-life anecdotes and practical, workbook-style exercises that clearly show how anyone can get beyond old, outmoded attempts at conflict resolution and empower themselves to make profound differences both at work and in their personal lives.
