Those Baxters offer a Life & Career Empowerment Training Series—a transformative, interactive curriculum designed to support the vocational and personal growth of your participants.

Each training session is 2 to 3 hours in length and may include group discussions, games, icebreakers, role-playing, and/or guided activities.

Available Workshops:

 

 

Personal Empowerment & Goal Setting

What does your ideal life look like—and what’s holding you back from living it? This session empowers participants to explore those questions and take meaningful action. Through proven self-coaching strategies, you’ll identify key focus areas, improve time management, and create a personal life plan with achievable goals. Leave with a clear vision and the tools to begin building the life you truly want.

 

 

Successful Communication & Feedback

Effective communication is at the heart of every successful relationship—professional or personal. In this session, participants learn practical strategies for active listening, understanding communication styles, and applying foundational communication principles. We’ll also explore how to give and receive feedback with a growth mindset, turning it into a powerful tool for collaboration, performance, and connection.

 

 

How to Be a Team Player

Great teams don’t happen by accident—they're built by individuals who know how to show up for others. This workshop helps participants understand the mindset and behaviors of a strong team player. Learn how to leverage your strengths, support teammates, solve problems, and contribute to a culture of trust, flexibility, and shared success.

 

 

Conflict Resolution & Decision-Making

Conflict is a part of life—but with the right tools, it doesn’t have to be destructive. This session equips participants to navigate conflict with emotional intelligence, resolve tension calmly and constructively, and make confident decisions aligned with their values. Learn to transform challenges into opportunities for growth, understanding, and collaboration.

 

 

Managing Change & Professionalism

Life is full of transitions—some expected, others not. This training provides tools for adapting to change with resilience and professionalism. Participants will explore common responses to change, develop healthy coping strategies, and build confidence in uncertain times. Whether facing job shifts, personal loss, or life transitions, you'll learn how to face change with clarity and courage.

 

 

Interviewing Skills

Confidence is key when it comes to interviews—and preparation makes all the difference. This hands-on workshop helps participants master common interview questions, articulate their strengths, and present their experiences with clarity and poise. Learn how to prepare effectively, practice with purpose, and enter every interview ready to shine.
