Working with corporate America can be another "income stream" for your private practice. Being a corporate trainer or consultant is not as difficult as you may think. As we emphasize in our private practice seminars, mental health professionals have the skill set necessary to compete with other organizational development consultants. Helping work groups improve communication and enhance relationships takes the same skills as helping families.

I have been working in this field along with my partner Michael Mastroianni, MAT for the past 15 years. Over those years Michael and I have developed a corporate consulting and training package based on our motto, "The quality of the product or service that corporate America delivers is directly dependent on the quality of the working relationships. And the quality of working relationships is directly dependent on how well employees and management communicate."

The centerpiece of our consulting and training package is our book, "Harnessing the Power of Conflict: Leading, Living, Learning" now in its third. This book documents our work, step by step, to work with corporate America on:

	Dealing with change Conflict Resolution Effective Communication Effecting Cultural Change Dealing with different people Psychology of human behavior Dealing with stress Executive coaching Alternation dispute resolution (ADR) process Role of management or Boards in facilitating change Action planning Codes of conduct
The book has real work and home examples. The package also contains our DVD (also available on video), "The Interpersonal Side of Change," which depicts a corporate training session. Basic counseling skills were taught to an employee group, to help them deal with change. You will see how you can apply what you already know to business and industry.
	Dealing with change Psychology of perception Effective confrontation Basic mediation skills
Included in the package are all of our hand-out material and interactive (experiential) group exercises. The handouts and exercises emphasize the skills necessary for quality working relationships. Along with this material is an "instructor's manual" that details for you how to use these materials. It even tells you what to say when! New for 2006 the corporate training package includes our PowerPoint presentation. The Participants and Instructor Manual includes:
	Introduction Misery zone of change Jolt - Decision - Action Work personality types Psychology of Perception Critical Thinking errors Stay or Go: A stress Model Three principles of communication Issue identification Listening: Goal vs. process orientation Constructive confrontation Conflict options Team building game Mediation Code of Conduct Action Plan

Don't try to re-invent the wheel. This package includes everything you need to provide a full day of corporate training. Using this package you can charge $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 per day. The components can be used for many 1-2 hour presentations or be employed as a whole to help facilitate corporate change.
