If your organization is experiencing any of these challenges, you’re not alone

OUR SOLUTIONS

Organizational Leadership Workshops

We partner with you to understand the needs of your audience or team and tailor the engagement to be immediately relevant and applicable. All workshops can be provided virtually or in-person.

Effective Communication

• Effective communication can make or break a successful work environment.  Too often, leaders are not equipped with the proper communications tools to lead in a supportive manner and this can greatly impact morale and employee retention.  Our trainings will help leaders learn communication strategies to improve their conflict-resolution and listening techniques so they can communicate in a productive and respectful manner.

Leverage your Leadership Style

• Your team’s leadership style has an incredible impact on work relationships. We’ll explore the various types of leadership styles as well as the strengths and areas of growth associated with each one.

Emotional Intelligence

• Some experts say that emotional intelligence could be more important than your “IQ” in your overall success in life. The good news? We believe leaders have the power to improve it.  Equip your leadership team with the knowledge involving emotional intelligence.  They will walk out of this workshop with the ability to better connect with their team while building further trust, and meaningful relationships.

School Based Therapeutic Services

SMILE Therapy Services have been working with K-12 schools since its inception. Our founder Christi Venable, is a former school counselor and understood the magnitude of the mental health needs within schools. 

We have supported both Charter and public schools with their student and family mental health and wellness needs by placing full time therapists inside of schools to provide all tiered services. We partner with the schools and provide direct services, group therapy, crisis management and training to enhance the mental health and wellness inside of the school.
