Help meet and exceed performance targets.
The foundation of human performance rests on the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits (KASH) of your people and teams. When you add the SKYWORD™ training game and curriculum to your KASH training, you not only give your managers and employees a fun and effective process for setting and achieving goals, but you also provide a mechanism that promotes more positive Attitudes and Habits in your work place. It is often said we hire for aptitude (knowledge and skills) and fire for attitude. With the SKYWORD game, you are doing something about it. It not only helps employees and teams to breakthrough negative attitudes such as resistance to change, apathy, or tension between co-workers, but most importantly, it helps drive the business results that both you and your employees want. And because SKYWORD makes positive change at the root level of what mainly drives performance (our comfort zones, habits, and beliefs), it's provides a perfect foundation for building and affirming a high performance culture characterized by personal accountability, self-motivation, and a positive attitude toward change.
The bottom line is, SKYWORD helps your employees and teams set performance goals that they really believe in and are motivated to achieve. What can be more powerful than that?
