Black Crystal Management Training and Workshops are conducted through the COMET Group, a Contemporary Organization Management and Employee Training.

Comet is committed to meeting and exceeding the professional development needs of managers and support staff through training workshops that are affordable, accessible, and designed to meet the specific needs of individuals or groups in any private and or public organizations. These training workshops feature skills and tips to improve participant's personal and professional abilities, earn respect, and get ahead in today's world. Each workshop is designed based on the current management practices in the public and private sectors using comprehensive interdisciplinary learning approach.

The workshops will present, illustrate, and explain the importance and practical application of each subject topic. Training materials in the form of handouts and homework exercises will be provided to participants.

Given the rapid and unpredictable changes in technology, our workshops are very interactive in nature, and tend to focus on current and future challenges faced by both employees and the employers. Several sessions will deal with step-by step role-playing of life events, re-enactment and simulations of critical management policy decisions or incidents. Other sessions will use small group discussions and lectures. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear understanding and working perspectives for their role in their respective organization.

Participants will have the opportunity to identify, discuss, interact, debate and share experiences on key practical issues of concern that will be discussed in class. Major policy and/or management issues currently facing contemporary organizations will be discussed. Participants will be able to use what they learn in the training on the job, to enhance their positions, improve their lives, or to implement changes within their organization.

Because of the interactive nature of these workshops participants are encouraged to attend the workshops in their entirety. They will not only be challenged to demonstrate their understanding of the course content through class exercises, but will be required to give detailed analytical reports of the practical application of what they have learned, at the end of each workshop. We offer a variety of management training created for the purpose of improving management skills, advancing career growth, increasing productivity and reducing work related stress.

Educating while increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of work is our goal. Therefore, it is an honor and a privilege for Comet to provide administrators, managers, and support staff the essential management tools needed to educate and expand their knowledge, increase productivity and improve morale.

The following training and workshop is offered in Dallas, Texas. However, arrangement can be made for off site workshop and training at the convenience of our clients.

Our most requested workshop is the

Managing and Valuing Diversity Training Workshop

The purpose of a managing and valuing diversity training workshop is to educate, coach, re-train, and increase our sense of understanding about ourselves and other people – especially people who are different from us due to their color, age, nationality, ethnicity, gender, physical abilities/qualities and sexual preferences or affectional orientation. It is an opportunity for all humans to learn how to understand one another.

This managing diversity workshop presents the cross-cultural practices and other social minority group attributes that could help an organization and all its employees achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness, increased productivity, improve quality of work life, and create a work place free of discrimination.

While major sources of influence that directly or indirectly affect business decisions include legal, fiscal, environmental, human resources, service production/delivery, technology, and organizational structure; valuing differences in the context of proper cultural diversity management makes good business sense. This workshop focuses upon an appropriate contemporary management decision-making process, which rejects discrimination based upon race, age, life style, gender, culture and nationality.

BENEFITS

Cultural diversity brings respect, unity and understanding that foster loyalty, cooperation, tolerance, responsibility, efficiency, trust and a sense of belonging to all members within an organization. The fact still remains that; cultural diversity in modern organization makes good business sense.

OBJECTIVES

Upon Completion of this Workshop, Each Participant Should Understand:

DIVERSITY

We must, we can, and we should, as a people, celebrate our differences instead of fighting over them. It is the only way for all humans of different age, races, cultures, customs, ethnicity, traditions, nationality, gender, religious beliefs and sexual preferences to get along. Since we cannot change our race or escape interacting with other people with diverse race, color and or national origins, we must learn to accept each other for whom and what we are.
