Corporate Coaching Program helps Engage People and Improve Business Performance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Bend, OR Feb. 15, 2011 Wendy Duncan International, a provider of stress management products and programs for corporate and consumer clients, has recently partnered with Axelrod Group, Inc. to provide its employee engagement program, Everyday Engagement™. This program will be offered as part of Wendy Duncan International’s corporate coaching series, Balance-in-a-Box. Everyday Engagement™ teaches simple and effective techniques to engage people and improve business performance.

“When you’re engaged you feel connected to something larger than yourself, your work has meaning, you end up feeling connected to your co-workers and you enjoy interacting with them,” said Dick Axelrod of Axelrod Group. “We’re pleased that our program will be available to Wendy Duncan International clients and workshops.”

“As companies grow it becomes harder for business leaders to have the kind of 1-to-1 contact they had when they were a smaller, closer knit group. Our engagement workshops will help manage this by striking a balance in these relationships while still making time for themselves and their employees,” said Wendy Duncan.

Everyday Engagement is designed for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, not-for-profit organizations, and employees at all levels. The workshop compliments Duncan’s corporate de-stress coaching by helping clients identify and leverage engageable moments for their teams and staff. Increasing engagement while working towards decreasing stress will be a powerful combination,” says Duncan.

The Axelrod Group designs collaborative systems that enable leaders and employees to jointly construct a company that is both profitable and worthy of pride. Some have referred to Axelrod practices as “organizational barn raising” because the focus and energy demonstrated by participants reminds them of the old-fashioned community barn raisings, during which neighbors would erect a sturdy building within a weekend. When a company is focused and the working environment encourages spirited involvement, remarkable things can occur quickly.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Bend, OR Jan. 24, 2011
Wendy Duncan International, a leading provider of stress management products and programs for corporate and consumer clients, today announced it has selected StreamIt Media as its interactive digital content provider for its on-demand meetings and training courses.

“StreamIt’s media management service helps us get video content online and in real time. We needed an efficient way to get our Balance in a Box and Healthcare De-STRESS training videos to our clients, manage them and see how they are being responded to and shared on the web,” said Wendy Duncan. “We found StreamIt’s secure solution that can be easily deployed and managed by our team. When we have documents relevant to our training videos, we simply upload and link the files, and they can be shared alongside the video content,”

“We’re pleased to add interactivity to the Balance in a Box and Healthcare De-STRESS products. Once our clients complete the training at their facility, they’ll have access to the training videos in six different lectures to watch from the comfort of their home, office, or mobile phone. This will allow our clients the ability to not only interact with the videos, but also to share, tweet and like to Facebook or other social applications.”

“We created StreamIt to help users interact with rich content and clients in real time. Our clients are using the StreamIt platform for interactive sales, support, and training meetings as well as online universities and learning sites. Wendy Duncan International’s use of StreamIt for their business clients is an excellent use of StreamIt’s capabilities, as they intend to use the platform to interact with their clients during training videos and demos, respond to questions and allow video review, recommendation and sharing.” said Jeff Coffey, a StreamIt Partner.

“I couldn’t be happier than to be able to offer programs that bring positive results to my clients’ lives,” says Duncan. “At Wendy Duncan International, our programs and workshops are helping individuals and teams put new thoughts and ideas into action that remove the stress from their lives and take them or their company to the next level.”
