For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome.
To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb.

We’ve all been there at that make it or break it moment in our lives. That moment where it seems as if time stops and the world is spinning, but you are not moving.
You have a decision to make. You have an obstacle in front of you that you did not expect or did not suspect it to be.
Maybe you haven’t attained the success you feel your hard work should have brought you by now or maybe you feel you have the talent to be all that you can be, be the expert in your field, but you just can’t seem to put that talent or those skills into position to maximize the moment.
Maybe you feel your potential or this gift you have just isn’t being tapped and you have no clue what’s missing or what’s holding you back.
If this resonates, this is the webinar for you.
In this webinar you will learn how to bring out your best, no matter what has happened in the past, or what you are doing now.

Whatever you are doing right now is determined by the way you are thinking.
Whatever emotions you feel are influenced by your thinking.
Whatever you want – all your desires – are determined by your thinking.
If your thinking is unrealistic, it will lead you to many disappointments.
If your thinking is overly pessimistic, it will deny you due recognition of the many things in which you should properly rejoice.
In this webinar you will learn the tools the best thinkers use in their work and personal lives.
You will learn how to implement these qualities of the best thinkers:
This webinar will help you reason well through the problems and issues you face at work and in your personal life.
Our unconscious mind is amazing. It can process much more information than our conscious mind.
It makes shortcuts based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences to make quick decisions about everything around us.It is also wrong a lot of the time, especially when it comes to people that are different from us in areas of race, skin color, disability, gender, religion, age, appearance, and more.
In this training you will learn how to increase awareness of unconscious bias, and discover strategies to better manage it when serving clients, working with peers, and making key decisions.
You will learn (Learning Objectives):
What is bias?
How unconscious bias impacts our thinking, expectations and actions.
How In Groups and Out Groups affect our beliefs.
How to gain greater awareness of where you may have bias.
Microaggressions: What they are, and are not.
Strategies to reduce the impact of bias on decision making and actions.
Most have heard of IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) and how they contribute to our overall potential.
A new kind of intelligence, Positive Intelligence (PQ) is on the rise. Positive Intelligence (PQ) helps us maximize our potential.
However, according to the research of Shirzad Chamine, 80% of all teams operate below a critical Positive Intelligence level, and fall short of achieving their true potential for success and happiness.
Why? Mental Saboteurs.
Saboteurs are the voices in our head that generate negative emotions in the way we handle life’s everyday challenges.
They represent automated patterns in our minds for how to think, feel, and respond. They cause stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness. They sabotage our performance, wellbeing, and relationships.
In this training you will learn:
It is common to think that problems are natural and inevitable.
For example:
What if it didn’t have to be this way?
Well, it doesn’t. Upstream thinking can solve a lot of our annoying, costly probems before they happen!
In this training we will learn:
Kwame Christian says a conflict is A negotiation with attitude.
Conflict is a regular part of our lives. Whether it is a disagreement with a co-worker, client, family member or friend, we need tools that help us resolve important issues that are holding us back.
For many of us, conflict is uncomfortable. We would rather avoid it than confront it. We also struggle to understand how to resolve conflicts fairly.
Following a conflict resolution process, or framework, helps a lot. Instead of just winging it, we can follow research-driven and time tested best practices.
In this training you will learn the different conflict styles that people have, and we will review conflict resolution frameworks created by three experts:
Let’s get ready to resolve conflicts together!
Time is precious.
Many of us spend hours each week in meetings and conversations.

Convene Training was founded by Josh Dye, MPNA and offers training to government, nonprofit, contracted case management, and health and human services professionals that help other people.
While training at conferences across the country for the past 15 years, Josh noticed two big problems plaguing the sector.1. High rates of stress, burnout and staff turnover.
2. Budgets that severely limit access to high-quality training for staff. Many agencies can only afford to train a small portion of their people, leaving many without the learning opportunities they need to be successful and feel supported by their employers.
The Convene Training subscription model was launced in 2017 to solve these problems and offers affordable training opportunities with CEUs each year.
