Programs
Earl's recipes for success showcase a unique fusion of case history-driven education and customized facilitation. They have been designed to address real time, real world issues currently challenging teams of all types and sizes. From Fortune 100 firms to small entrepreneurs, Earl makes you think. Then, he unlocks your ability to think differently.
Sparking Innovation & Creativity
Discovering a functional balance between critical and creative thinking is high on Earl’s list of prerequisite skills. His methodology helps anyone expand their creative reach and become a catalyst for creativity. From transforming “I cant’s” into “I cans” to maintaining creativity in emotional situations, Earl will give you the tools to flex your creative muscle and overcome self-defeating behaviors that stifle creativity.
Embracing Change
What used to be is no longer. What is won't be for long.
Those thirteen words underscore the pace of change in today's business environment. With a solid understanding of why some resist change while others embrace it, Earl focuses on developing agents of change versus victims of change.
Strategic Thinking
Understanding the difference between strategic thinking and strategic planning is critical. Organizations far and wide have bookshelves stacked with dusty strategic plans that are either outdated or unread. Strategic thinking is the process that keeps us from indulging in reactionary, band-aide decision making. Strategic thinking is also one of Earl’s facilitative strengths.
Creative Problem Solving
From uncovering unconscious thinking traps to reducing human error, problem solving is, indeed, a process. And when Earl facilitates a problem solving process, you can count on a one-of-a-kind experience that’s interactive, effective and fun. Turn your problems into opportunities with customized facilitation from The Branding Chef.
The Challenge of Managing a Multi-Generational Workforce
From Boomers to Zoomers to Squirrel Nut Zippers (ok, they may not be a generation, but they do make interesting music) the challenge of managing a blended workforce has never been greater. For the first time since before World War II, we have four distinct generations in the workforce. Understanding these generations and breaking through their stereotypical barriers is crucial for maintaining vital team chemistry. While Earl is a serious student of these generational issues, his entertaining and insightful facilitations will have your teams looking at each other in a whole new light.
