In-Person Training
With Dr. Dewett
Invite Todd to join the team in person.
Whether you need two hours or a full day, Todd will deliver a fun high-impact event that goes beyond education - it's an experience.
The Content
Todd teaches people to understand themselves, their team, and their organization more deeply. The first step is to realize that all change starts with you. Todd helps individuals think about their habits and behaviors, and how they impact their thoughts and work outcomes. He stresses authenticity and guides you through the process of discovering a more authentic you. Next, it's time to push the team to step up. From feedback to listening to conflict to creativity, Todd delivers a practical perspective that helps teams function at a higher level. The metrics you care about (e.g., retention, productivity, engagement) are all determined by your ability to create real rapport and connection. Clear goals and expectations might gain you behavioral compliance, but only finely honed relationships produce emotional commitment. That's the foundation for breakthrough conversations and innovation.
Instructional Method
Todd's goal is not just to deliver good content. The goal is to improve teams, improve organizations, and to change lives. Long before he was Dr. Dewett the speaker, he was an award-winning professor in the classroom designing and delivering amazing leadership-related content. He brings those skills to your team and uses several different instructional techniques. These include facilitated discussions, emotional stories, and applied practical activities that make the learning relevant and memorable. One of the most common bits of feedback we receive is, "I didn't want the session to end!" That's what happens when people learn something useful while having fun.
Sample Offerings
DANCING WITH MONSTERS: WE’RE ALL IMPERFECT, YET PERFECTLY CAPABLE
This exciting workshop expands the content in the keynote based on the book Dancing with Monsters. We’re all monsters, and yet so full of potential. We can learn to optimize the monster inside of us and to lead the beautiful monsters around us. It’s about seeing past false constraints, facing fears, finding perspective, and, well…just taking the first step! The limitations you see are just the beginning. You can remove some, work around others, and even leverage some of them as the assets they really are. Using stories and practical advice, Dr. Dewett shows your team the way forward. With huge energy and applied activities, you will let go of fear and step up to the next level. Like all of Todd’s sessions, the content and session title can be tailored to meet your needs.
