Time & Location
Oct 22, 2026, 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites, 175 Alford Dr, Weatherford, TX 76087, USA
Do you have an employee who...
...you've told the same thing three times, and somehow you're about to explain it a fourth?
...is REALLY good at their job, but an absolute pain to work with?
...gets defensive every time you give them feedback?
...comes to you with every problem but rarely brings a solution?
...everybody complains about, but nobody has actually talked TO?
...you keep giving more work to because they're the one you know will get it done?
...you promoted because they were great at their job, only to discover that being great at the job and managing humans are two very different things?
Or maybe YOU'RE the person everybody comes to because nothing seems to happen without you.
That's expensive.
It's costing you time. Productivity. Customers. Good employees. And probably a decent chunk of your patience.
That's why I created this workshop.
This is an interactive workshop for business owners, managers, supervisors, and team leaders who are tired of spending so much damn time dealing with people problems.
We're going to work on the stuff that actually happens at work:
Giving expectations people actually understand.
Having the conversation you've been avoiding.
Getting managers to actually manage.
Holding people accountable without turning every conversation into a whole thing.
Communicating with different personalities.
Getting employees to take ownership instead of bringing everything back to you.
Recognizing when your dependable people are quietly carrying everybody else's crap.
And most importantly:
WHAT THE HELL DO I ACTUALLY SAY?
Bring your real situations. We'll look at how YOU naturally communicate, the personalities and behaviors you're dealing with, what's happening in your employee culture, where communication is breaking down, and what may need to change.
You'll leave knowing:
WHO needs your attention.
WHAT needs to change.
WHAT you need to do differently.
WHAT they need to do differently.
And what you're actually going to SAY.
Your time is expensive, too.
I'm not here to waste your time OR your money. You don't need three and a half hours of me telling you communication is important. You already know that. You'll leave with practical communication tools you can use the next day.
No trust falls. No fluffy leadership crap. No 57-slide PowerPoint about "effective communication."
WHAT YOUR MORNING LOOKS LIKE
8:00 AM | Check-In
Get checked in, grab your materials, find your seat, and get settled.
8:30 AM | Know Who You’re Dealing With
Understand the personality and communication differences showing up in your workplace, including your own.
9:30 AM | When People Get Expensive
Communication breakdowns, conflict, accountability, stress, burnout, and why the same problems keep showing up.
10:30 AM | What Do You Actually Say?
Real communication tools. What works, what makes things worse, and how to adjust without walking on eggshells.
11:30 AM | Now What? Put it together. Identify what needs to change, what you’ll do differently, and what happens when you walk back into work.
12:00 PM | Done.
Because I said 3.5 hours. I meant 3.5 hours.
ABOUT DR. RENEA SKELTON
I'm a communication and emotional intelligence expert, author, speaker, retired U.S. Air Force officer, and personality consultant. During my 22.5-year Air Force career, I wasn't just leading people. I was tasked with going into organizations where things weren't working, figuring out what was actually happening, and helping fix it. I've seen what happens when little communication problems are allowed to become very expensive people problems.
I'd rather help you catch them earlier.
