This is what becoming a Totally Responsible Person is all about. \n \nTotally Responsible Person® TRP® training is based on the belief that everyone has a contribution to make. So often we are looking outside ourselves for happiness\, waiting for permission to be great\, and believing that someone else is going to make the changes we want to see. \n \nTRP training is a fast-paced\, highly interactive program that results in increased self-awareness\, clearer decision making\, and greater satisfaction and well-being in the workplace and at home. Through inspiring individuals to be their very best\, TRP solves issues like: \n \n\nADDRESSING CHALLENGES: Many times\, we shy away from addressing problems for fear of failure or see challenges as something to be avoided. The mindset that looks on setbacks as opportunities to bounce back is what cultivates a spirit of resiliency.\nAVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY: Defensiveness can lead to a lack of cooperation and accountability. How much faster can we bring our product to market when we are accountable to one another? How much more efficient are our services? How much more satisfied are our team members and associates\nCHOOSING COURAGE: Business is filled with everyday moments that when recognized\, are powerful moments of choice born by courageous conversation. Will your next interaction be an opportunity to create and to inspire? \n\nWho Should Attend \nThis workshop is effective for all levels within the organization. Designed for individual contributors\, supervisors\, managers\, and leaders. Anyone who wants to lead others or manage one’s own professional and personal life more effectively will benefit from this course.  \n \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nEnhance and examine awareness of our thinking and mindset that leaves us “stuck.”\nDiscuss and practice how to apply the TRP mindset.\nIdentify ways to bring out the best in others by not criticizing or judging.\nDiscern between the behaviors of rescuing\, enabling\, empowerment\, and empathy.\nGive and receive the gift of feedback.\nUnderstand the importance of purpose and meaning to focus and manage our emotions. \n\n\n\nReady to Advance Your Career?\nJoin professionals across the Carolinas who trust Catapult for professional development. \nRegister Now →\n​
