We offer a variety of seminars, classes and workshops for our members which provide the leaders of work communities and their co-workers with the opportunity to take time off from their busy schedules to become students for a short period of time. We will continue to offer new courses as they are needed and developed.  These courses are available to our clients along with our Consulting Services.  

The Seminar Leader:  Paul L. Schechter, has 20+ years of consulting and teaching experience.  He has been teaching classes throughout his professional career.  Before he launched Community Harvest®  he taught courses for Ernst & Whiney (Young), the California Society of Certified Public Accountants as well as some private classes. For more details about his background click here.

What We Do:  We offer customized, on-site seminars for your work community.  We first meet with you to discuss your specific goals and needs.  Based upon this discussion, we produce a seminar to meet your specific needs.

Our Approach:  there are two approaches we can take:

• The first approach is to take one of our generic seminars and customize it to fit your needs.
• The second approach is to design a completely new seminar around a topic of your choosing.

Seminars Currently Offered:

I.  Leadership Seminars

• Dispute Prevention in The Workplace-Businesses waste billions of dollars each year due to the wasted energy spent on disagreements which spiraled out of control and turned into business disputes and then legal disputes.  This class was previously taught before the California Society of CPA's.  If you are a member and would like to obtain a copy of our syllabus, please let us know.

• Mediation Skills For Workplace Leaders-Did you know that mediation is a process?  Did you know that mediation is not the same as arbitration?  Do you want to learn mediation skills so that you are able to mediate disputes within your work community?   Then sign up for our class.  You will find that these skills not only help you to be a better leader at work, but that you will be a better leader at home as well.   For an example of the types of knowledge you will learn in this class, see our discussion of mediation under at Work Mediators^SM.  This class has previously been taught as a private class to Certified Public Accountants who wanted to also be mediators.

Who Should Attend:  Owners, CEO's, Presidents, Executives, Board Members

II.  Governance Seminars-Financial

• Financial Governance:  The Good, The Bad & The Fuzzy^sm-Financial Governance of work communities goes way beyond the boardroom.  It extends into every aspect of the workplace.  The "governance model" chosen by the owner to lead his work community will have major effects on his co-workers, his external community members (stakeholders) and his cash flow and profits.
