Touting Human Capital as the Key to Success
Aug. 28/In Business Las Vegas/ -- Rapport Leadership International has spent the past 24 years helping companies grow by increasing organizational performance through improving their greatest asset – human capital. Rapport teaches individuals how to motivate themselves and energize their teams to perform to their fullest potential, provide exceptional customer service and truly vest in their company’s future.
Rapport’s approach to leadership development is fully interactive, meaning everyone participates throughout the class. Unlike other forms of training, Rapport students are involved in a series of leadership modules and they learn by experiencing the leadership competency, rather than listening to a series of lectures and note taking sessions. The company is founded on the belief that every team member in the organization – from the CEO to the front line employee - possesses leadership skills, and that the development of these skills is directly related to the growth and advancement of the company. Rapport’s training has proven to have direct results on the company’s culture and operations, including improved communication and teamwork, increased loyalty, enhanced self-confidence, identification of core values, and greater accountability in the work place.
It is the company that has, maintains, and even builds upon, a strong corporate culture that will be able to sustain its business and set itself up for even greater success. The process starts with an investment in the company’s human capital to create a corporate culture that embraces camaraderie, loyalty, organizational unity and a system that celebrates accomplishments both large and small.
For a company to achieve its goals and realize its vision, the culture -- which Rapport defines as the attitudes, beliefs, actions, values and language a company uses -- must align with the desired results. A team does not realize its strength and create synergy when individuals, teams and departments go in separate directions.
When a company’s management and employees all know what the business stands for and understand its values and mission, they become clear about who they are, what impact they can have, the quality with which they do their job and the path they, as a team, can take to meet their objectives.
Rapport’s training gives everyone in a company a common language and a common set of behaviors, experiences, attitudes and beliefs about what is important to them personally, and ultimately to the organization.
Rapport accomplishes all of this learning through its six signature courses, each of which is a two-and-a-half day experience. Classes include Leadership Breakthrough One, Leadership Breakthrough Two, Power Communication, Eagle Quest, Life Mastery and Rapport Certified Specialist.
Courses are held at Rapport Leadership International’s executive retreat in Alamo, Nevada, approximately 90 miles northeast of the Las Vegas Valley. Situated on more than 70 acres in the high desert of Southern Nevada, the 20,000 square-foot retreat that can serve up to 65 guests. The dining hall features a 30-foot vaulted space and floor-to-ceiling windows. All meals, including homemade desserts, breads and pastas are prepared on-site at the retreat by Master Chef Ron Nia. Additionally, all courses are offered in Calgary, Canada as well as in private onsite corporate trainings.
Rapport recently has launched a new series of empowering leadership seminars, allowing companies and individuals to experience Rapport in a three-hour interactive session. These seminars are held monthly throughout the United States and Canada.
Founded in 1985 by Michael and JoAnn Knapp, Rapport has worked with more than 10,000 organizations, with more than 250,000 people participating in its intensive leadership trainings. Rapport believes that when you improve the person, the performance improves. When you improve the performance, the business improves, the family improves, and the community improves.
