Decision Making and the Cynefin Framework with Perry Parendo
2025-12-11 11:00 - 13:00 UTC | New Location, 8120 Penn Avenue S, Bloomington, MN, 55431, United States
We all make decisions. Improving our skills can make our job and life better. How did we learn to make these decisions? Usually, it is very informal. Early in our consulting career, we researched a comprehensive decision-making process and provided it to our training clients. It immediately impacted internal discussions and impacted project execution.
However, as time went on, we found barriers for students being fully comfortable and competent. We discovered additional information that changed how we looked at the topic, and began sharing this with our classes. Our goal is to provide these tools and ideas to the group during our discussion, and expose everyone to the new concepts we discovered as recent as this last summer.
This will be accomplished through small group discussions to gain knowledge from the larger group, and allow more in-depth investigations for our particular ideas.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Evaluate our personal decision-making approach
Gain exposure to recent advancements in decision making framework
In a small group setting, identify something to enhance our decision making after the discussion

“Stop Selling, Start Connecting”
2025-09-11 11:00 - 13:00 UTC | New Location, 8120 Penn Avenue S, Bloomington, MN, 55431, United States
Sales shouldn’t feel fake. And yet, for most small business owners . . . it does.
You believe in what you offer, but the moment you have to talk price, ask for the sale, or face objections, it gets uncomfortable. You overtalk. You freeze. You feel like you’re coming across as pushy or “salesy.”
Most entrepreneurs try to sell the way they like to buy and lose deals in the process. The truth is, not everyone thinks like you… and when you don’t speak your client’s language, trust breaks, and the sale slips away.
It’s time to flip that script.
In this workshop, “Stop Selling, Start Connecting,” you’ll learn the DiSC Communication Formula .
A powerful framework to: √ Instantly recognize your prospect’s buying style √ Communicate with confidence, clarity, and purpose √ Handle objections without sounding defensive or desperate √ Sell authentically , without feeling like a salesperson √ Close more deals, gain more clients, and grow your income fast
This isn’t about “scripting” your way through a pitch. It’s about rewiring how you connect with others , so sales becomes natural, conversations flow, and your confidence skyrockets.
With just a few powerful communication shifts, your business can grow exponentially.
Because when selling feels like you, it works like magic.

“The Myths of Self-Actualization”
2025-05-08 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | New Location, 8120 Penn Avenue S, Bloomington, MN, 55431, United States
Self-Actualization, or the fulfillment of one’s complete potential has unfortunately been subject to oversimplification and gimmicks. Too many people misconstrue it as goal achievement, rather than a lifelong journey to become one’s best human self.
This session will at least provoke you, and hopefully motivate you to construct your own process of self-improvement.
How would my Self-Actualization journey develop if:

I sharpen my Self-Awareness?

I clarify my Aspirations?

I Align more constructive behaviors to support the person I want to be?

I continually Adapt to a world that always changes?

Peacefully Coexisting with Conflict through Curiosity and Skepticism
2025-04-10 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago) | New Location, 8120 Penn Avenue S, Bloomington, MN, 55431, United States
A Different Approach
When was the last time you called someone to tell them that you were wrong? We’re so fixated on our truths that we don’t have the latitude to create room for others’ truths. The result is that we can no longer talk with people with whom we disagree, to the point of estranging friends, co-workers, and even family. The divide is vast and, when taken in the context of our time on earth, unnecessary.
Taking a different approach to navigating conflicting viewpoints is probably necessary, as the way things are going now, we’re going in the wrong direction. Adapting a new mindset and becoming very intentional about the usefulness of curiosity and skepticism will open lines of communication, not necessarily to come to a consensus on the truth, but to be more comfortable with points of view that conflict with your own. Resolving conflict might not be an achievable outcome, but peacefully co-existing with it is very possible.

What role can ambivalence play in your ability to not place a stake in the ground?
What are good questions to ask that inspire deeper thinking in people on the “other side?”
Without a doubt, we have fears playing in the background that are destructive to meaningful discourse. What can we do about them?
Is it possible to win an argument without the other person losing?

Misguided Diversity: A DEIB Framework
2024-11-14 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Edina Library, 5280 Grandview Square, Edina, Minnesota, 55346
Misguided Diversity: A DEIB Framework
presented by: Rico Paul Vallejos
While Diversity is first in the DEI acronym, it should be last in execution. Focusing on a Diversity strategy when working on DEI initiatives may be misguided, resulting in an HR (recruitment) revolving door and temporary diversity. Bottom line: Focusing on Diversity is putting the cart before the horse. Diversity is the cart; Inclusion is the horse. Do inclusion right, and Diversity will be the natural outcome.
Learning Objectives:

Grasp the DEIB Framework and identify priorities
Understand the difference between Diversity and Inclusion
Identify the pitfalls of a Diversity-first approach or the Paradox of Intention
Develop strategies for building an inclusive culture
Recognize the importance of Cultural Competence
Learn how to promote a Culture of Belonging
