Team Training
When we meet we change the way we work.
Universal truth: when we understand the why behind people's behavior, the what and the how become much simpler. When you empower your team to understand the why behind their behavior and others, the workplace dynamics shift — conflict decreases, productivity increases, turnover decreases, engagement increases, drama decreases, customer satisfaction increases. The list goes on.
The greatest gift you can give yourself and your team is the gift of knowledge. At Work Warrior we make this simple. Each of our trainings has been designed to offer understanding of our behavior, and tangible tools to solve issues. We're practical. We're tangible. We're work-changing.
Whether you're looking to train a professional group, department, or whole company, we've got you covered. Keep reading and see some of our most requested topics — you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Vision, Mission, and Values Workshop
It's not a corporate thing. It's a success thing.
When Work Warrior first started offering Vision, Mission, and Values workshops, we got pushback — "that's a corporate thing, we don't need that." Our response: yes, you do. It's the story and the why of your business. It's a reminder of what you want to be. It's your tool to make decisions. And it's a guide on how to hire, when to fire, and what to do when the going gets tough.
There's a direct connection between the companies that live into their VMV and the ones who don't. This workshop is an incredible way to energize your team, create buy-in for your vision, and ensure everyone is in the right seats on the bus. Each workshop contains the following:
- Two half-day workshops where your team will create their very own VMV statement. The process is magical — trust us on that.
- A vision statement that will act as a reminder about what your business or team strives to be. It's not about laying brick. It's about building a cathedral.
- A mission statement that will act as your decision maker. In one sentence you'll be able to answer what you do, who you do it for, how you do it, and why it matters.
- A values statement. This becomes your accountability tool. You hire to your values. You fire to your values. And you act in accordance with your values. Period.
Understanding Personalities in the Workplace
It's all about you and everyone else.
We like to think we're all unique snowflakes. In reality, we are human, and each of us has predictable behavior. When we understand our own personality and our co-workers' styles, communication, empathy, and conflict resolution become much simpler.
Using the Myers Briggs personality assessment, this workshop brings to light why we are the way we are and how we can better open lines of communication at work. This fun and informative workshop promises the following:
- A personality report for each participant that acts as a starting point for self-awareness.
- Training on understanding four incredibly important human characteristics — where we get our energy, how we process information, how we make decisions, and how we perceive the world.
- How to recognize when each personality type is stressed and what we can do to adjust our communication to de-escalate the situation, not escalate it.
- How to adjust individual communication style so communication doesn't become muddled.
- Role play exercises specific to your team so everyone can put into action what they've just learned.

FearLess
It's about fearing less, not fearing at all.
One of the most popular trainings Work Warrior offers — this workshop fundamentally changed the way people view fear.
- Why we have fear — how to recognize it and what to do when it creeps up, or knocks you down.
- How we can rewrite our stories — observing and changing the stories we tell ourselves (toxic thought habits). We all have them, and until we get real about their existence, we'll never be able to rewrite the narrative.
- How we can act as if — from the moment our 1:1 is finished, you'll have the tools to start practicing how to fake it until you become it. With a little bravery and action, you'll be surprised and delighted at how confidence completely changes your world.
- Do it — we'll spend time talking about how to find opportunities to be brave, to be the hero of your own story. You'll have an actionable plan you can start working the moment we're finished.
- Why we self-sabotage with fear — we all do it. When we know why, we're able to make different choices. We're able to Fear Less.
- Recognize how we act — when you understand how you act when you're afraid, you have a choice to act differently.
