Meeting Facilitation, Employee and Organizational Development ~ Cody Associates • Team Building

We offer a range of 4- to 8-hour classes in which can be customized to suit your needs to a tee. Possibilities include:

Habits of Healthy People
Achieving physical and emotional wellness and balance must be a thoughtful, deliberate and persistent educational process. Referencing Dr. Stephen Covey's national bestseller Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this seminar uses lecture and audio-visual material to help participants learn simple daily strategies that can promote good health and improve quality of life. Attendees will cultivate an appreciation of the interaction of mind and body and learn how living a principle-centered life can reduce tension, anxiety and susceptibility to illness.

How to Hold an Effective Meeting

In today's workplace, busy daily schedules are often inundated with a series of frustrating, stressful and exhausting meetings. Those responsible for presiding over meetings will benefit from learning how to create a healthy meeting environment by reducing confrontation, valuing diversity of individual attendees, and maintaining focus on agenda and outcome. Experiential exercises in the "Interaction Meeting Method" and group processing tools will help meeting leaders create a productive, effective and healthy meeting environment.

Life in the Balance
Unfortunately, fast-paced life in the Silicon Valley can promote and encourage a "workaholic" lifestyle. Participants whose stressful work environment and time-urgent behavior which leave them physically and mentally exhausted will appreciate new information on how to achieve balance and find meaning in life. Through lecture and large group discussions, class members will learn the detrimental impact of some personality traits on health. They will also learn how to say "no", live in the moment and manage time in alignment with personal values.

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI): The Mind-Body Connection
Exciting new research in the field of mind-body medicine has yielded a better understanding of the physical connection between the nervous system, the immune system and the mind. Participants will learn how cutting-edge PNI research has refuted Western medicine's notion of the mind-bodydichotomy and how chemical messenger molecules called neuropeptides connect emotions to actual physical changes in the body. Discovery of the complex network linking mind to body has implications for self-healing and individual control and empowerment.

Desk Rage, Road Rage, Why Are We All So Angry?
Research done at the Dr. Meyer Friedman Institute has shown that the time urgency, free-floating hostility, anger and irritation associated with Type "A" behavior may be our destroying relationships and producing damaging chemicals that put coronary arteries and heart muscle at risk. Despite concerted efforts by Americans to maintain heart-healthy diets and rigorous exercise programs, heart disease remains the nation's foremost cause of death.

WHY? Lecture, videos and group discussion help participants identify harmful Type "A" behavior in themselves and others and simple daily drills are presented that can both modify self-destructive behaviors and offer alternative ways of reacting to the events of daily life.
