A practical introduction to emotional intelligence (EQ) for everyone, especially supervisors, managers, and anyone in client-facing or team-based work. Covers the four Goleman domains — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management — with daily habits and practical exercises to build each one. EI is learnable at any age, predicts workplace success more than IQ for most roles, and compounds over time.

A practical guide to running tiered daily management on the plant floor — also known as a Floor Management Development System (FMDS).

How to be an effective workplace mentor. Covers what mentoring is (and isn't) versus coaching/training/sponsoring; setting up a productive mentor-mentee relationship; the conversation toolkit (active listening, powerful questions, GROW, feedback, story-sharing); helping mentees navigate and grow over the long term; and ethics, boundaries, and sustainment. Pairs with [[ojt-train-the-trainer]] — OJT teaches a specific job, mentoring develops the person. Audience: anyone designated as a workplace mentor — leads, supervisors, senior operators, engineers, professional staff.

Structured on-the-job training methodology for anyone who trains others on a job — operators, leads, mentors, supervisors. Built on TWI Job Instruction (the WWII-era method behind Toyota's Job Element Sheets and modern lean training). Covers why structured OJT matters; preparing standard-work-based job breakdowns; delivering the four-step method (Prepare/Present/Try Out/Follow Up); coaching, questioning, and feedback during training; and verification, documentation, and sustainment so "trained" actually means competent. Knowing how to do a job is not the same as knowing how to teach it — and this program teaches the teaching.

A practical introduction to the Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership model — the diagnostic that matches your leadership style (S1 Directing, S2 Coaching, S3 Supporting, S4 Delegating) to each person's development level on each task (D1 Enthusiastic Beginner through D4 Self-Reliant Achiever). The most common leadership mistake is being one way with every person; this program teaches the diagnosis, the four styles, the matching rule, and how to have the conversation that puts the model into practice on the floor and in the office.

A practical introduction to managing stress and time at work — for shift workers, supervisors, leads, and anyone whose workload is bigger than their day. Covers the manufacturing reality (shift schedules, fatigue, family); the physiology of stress and what actually helps (breathing, sleep, exercise, social connection); time as choice (Eisenhower matrix, big rocks, time blocking, saying no); focus and beating the distraction economy (single-tasking, batching, the 2-minute rule); and sustainable pace (sleep first, energy management, recovery, boundaries, burnout signs). Awareness-level; this is not medical or mental-health treatment — when stress crosses into crisis, see your EAP or a clinical resource.

Code of conduct, harassment prevention, ethical decision-making, and respectful workplace norms.

Build and run a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) that meets ISO 22301. Establish context and scope, conduct the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), pick recovery strategies, write BC plans, exercise them, and continually improve.
