Three and a Half Things We Need to Talk About

The pandemic was the most unsettling era we’ve lived through. While there was tremendous loss and disruption, there were also lessons we learned about what truly matters in life. Unfortunately, now that we’re “back to normal” we’ve left many of those lessons behind. We’ll take a look at three and a half things we should keep and how to reset in the new normal’ish.

Stop Shoulding on Yourself

You’ve hit the career milestones, you’ve learned the lessons, you’ve even passed on the lessons. Now what? The Gen X/Millennial women have been told we can do it all – with a smile in heels. But do we want to? What SHOULD we be doing with all this opportunity and these skills and relationships we’ve built? This keynote is a good time and a kick in the tail for all the women out there doing it all.

Don’t Make it Weird (Postmodern Networking)

In-person networking and business development are back in full swing post-pandemic. Some of us need to dust the rust off and remember how to get back to it.

This workshop will help everyone from seasoned vets to newbies make and keep meaningful connections, and not make it weird in the process.

These Damn Perennials! (Maximizing Generational and Life Stage Differences in the Workplace)

Since the beginning of time, every generation thinks the generation after them is lazy and good for nothing. Maybe they are. Maybe they’re taking the easy road. Or maybe they’re building on the foundation you constructed, working smarter, creating more innovation, and it’s driving you crazy. We are all shaped by our generation and our life stage, but the positives those differences bring to the workplace outweigh the negatives. Take away tips on how to maximize the benefits of a cross-generational workplace in any office or industry.

Don’t be the Officehole (How to Fix Everyone Who Isn’t Like You)

Everyone has at least one person in their life who gets under their skin. You dread their name appearing on your phone or your inbox. You can’t put your finger on why, but that person is such an Officehole. Conflict and communication issues in the workplace often stem from one of three personality traits – your stress tolerance, your sensitivity, and your need for structure. Help identify which one is causing your friction and how to be the winner who gets things back on track.

The Blessing and Curse of Being a Superstar Doer (Unrealistic Expectations of Being Promoted)

You are excellent at your job. Guess what? Now you get to do lots of things that you are not excellent at in the name of getting promoted.

What Happened to My Day? (Prioritization and Time Management)

You are doing things and stuff every minute, but often find yourself asking, “What did I actually DO today?” In our busy world, it takes active focus on priorities to avoid being sucked into the whirlwind of emails and chats and zooms.

Be a Problem-Solver Not a Problem-Spotter (Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving)

But We’ve Always Done it That Way!

Change management is one of the toughest hills to climb as a team. Let Screaming Peacock walk you through the steps to make it as painless and fruitful as possible.

Workplace Matrix

You might think the business world buzz terms are what hold you and your team back – generational differences, working with difficult people, emotional intelligence – but it’s likely something much more basic. It’s communication – communication within the Workplace Matrix. The first step in unlocking the Workplace Matrix is understanding how personality and perspective differences are underpinning all of your interpersonal interactions. The second step is appreciating them. The third step is learning how to communicate in a way that transforms differences into superpowers.

Why Can’t They Do What I’m Thinking?

Perfect for those team retreats that need a little boost of fun with some takeaways, this team event features a short-format personality test where participants learn what bird they are. We’ll talk about different communication styles and have some laughs at how the Eagles need to occasionally stop and smell the roses with the Doves and how the Peacocks drive the Owls crazy with all their happy hours disguised as meetings.

Working with Humans (Emotional Intelligence for the Modern Workplace)

Work would be so much easier if it wasn’t for all these humans. Co-workers, customers, supervisors… it might be easier if they were lions, tigers, and bears! We all talk about how
important emotional intelligence is in the workplace these days, but what does that mean? In this workshop, we’ll talk about understanding your own emotions and reactions and translating that into productive working relationships.

Customer Journey

Experience working with your team through the eyes of your customer in this interactive workshop. We’ll physically map out the path, stops, and decision points your customers take as they make their way through your sales funnel and workflows. This journey gives your team the opportunity to align on what excellence looks like and how to mitigate friction your customers might encounter along the way.

Sweaty Palms and Death by PowerPoint

Who wants to give a boring presentation? Even worse, who wants to sit through a boring presentation? Not everyone is a born presenter, but everyone can level up. This workshop can be customized for the novice, the terrified, or the really good striving to be great. Fair warning – you don’t get better at presenting by watching presenters. You get better by presenting, which everyone will in this “learn by doing” event.

Team Hogan

Don’t Be That Guy

Every company wishes their junior team members came in ready to work and interact in just the appropriate way for their culture and customers.

Executive Presence (Five Full-Day Events)

Becoming a leader encompasses a new set of skills. Becoming an executive is another league in itself.
