Profile

Biography:

Allan Halcrow has spent the better part of his adult life chained to a word processor. For much of that time, he was the editor of Workforce (the leading magazine for HR professionals), for which he wrote articles, recognized top achievements in HR and conducted business research. When he was allowed out, he spoke at business conferences coast to coast. More recently, he has co-written the bestseller The Boss’s Survival Guide (2001) and Gray Matters: A Workplace Survival Guide (2003). If he can write books, imagine what he can do for you.

Allan has uncanny ability to explain emotional intelligence in terms even Mr. Spock could understand. He’s also certified in the administration and interpretation of the two most statistically sound instruments for assessing EI. Faster than you can say, “Bob Newhart” he’ll have you talking about emotions as easily as last month’s sales figures.

 

He’s won the prestigious McAllister Editorial Fellowship, two First Place awards for his writing from the American Society of Business Press Editors, four Maggie Awards from the Western Publications Association and too many pats on the back to mention here. Allan is always happy to show his fabulous travel photos, too – but that costs extra.

 

Lynne Gabriel has spent 14 years working with employees all across America. From remote outposts in the California desert to northwestern Puerto Rico, Lynne has facilitated training sessions for thousands of employees. She’s not teaching typing, either. Lynne deals with the toughest, most sensitive workplace issues: emotional intelligence, leadership skills, cultural values, and HIV. Faster than you can say “Mary Richards,” Lynne will soothe a room of uncomfortable business folks by showing them respect, drawing out all sides of an issue, or easing tension with the perfect icebreaker.

 

She’s certified in administering and interpreting two of the leading (and the most scientifically sound) instruments for assessing emotional intelligence.

Lynne is a child advocate in the Los Angeles County Superior court system, certified as a mediator for the Dispute Resolution Program of the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office, and she’s been on Oprah. Lynne tells really funny jokes, too – but that costs extra.
 

 

Courses

Classes:

What’s the Return on Emotional Intelligence (ROI)?

You’ve worked with smart people who never reach their potential, or salespeople who know the product and the market but often fall short of their goals.  Odds are that these people are making decisions with only half the data they need; they’re overlooking or misreading emotions. Yes, emotions are data – and using them effectively is a set of skills often labeled emotional intelligence (EI).  Fortunately, those skills can be learned or improved. In this fast-paced program you’ll learn:

  • Why emotions are crucial to effective decision making
  • Which skills constitute emotional intelligence
  • How effective use of emotional intelligence can dramatically improve individual performance – and the bottom line.

If you’re ready to go beyond the introductory seminar, we are certified to administer two different assessments of emotional intelligence. Assessments are available for individuals or groups. Or assess your top performers and learn which EI skills matter most in your organization.

 

WordWorking: Write Well. Advance Your Career.

Do you struggle to find the right words to express yourself? Do you wonder what you can write in a performance appraisal without getting into legal trouble? Are you unsure of the rules of grammar and punctuation? Don’t let imperfect writing skills get in the way of your career progress. You’ll learn:

  • How your writing shapes your professional image
  • How to maneuver through the office politics of business writing
  • How to use an effective four-step process to structure documents – and get the results you want

And much more. The program uses documents you’re already writing at work (no extra work for you) and is flexible to meet your needs. Choose a one-time seminar or ongoing coaching. Use the program for:

  • Reports
  • Performance appraisals
  • Letters (including sales letters)
  • Presentations

and more.

 

Let’s Be Reasonable: Dealing With Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Is it reasonable for a woman to demand that no one wear red at work because “it’s the color of love”? Is it reasonable to assume that you should never encounter an unclothed person while doing your job? Is it reasonable for a boss to drop M&Ms into his secretary’s breast pocket – and then retrieve them? Does any of it matter? No. Not necessarily. Emphatically no. And most emphatically yes. Explore these issues and others in this highly interactive seminar. You’ll learn:

  • What the law says about sexual harassment – and why
  • Why the “reasonable woman” standard is so important
  • How behavior can create a “hostile work environment”

and more.

Education

Education: Allan has a BA from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).  He is certified to administer and provide feedback on the two leading assessments of emotional intelligence: The EQ-i and the MSCEIT.
