What do training killer whales have to do with training humans? More than you think! In this inspiring training program, Ken Blanchard and top SeaWorld trainers Thad Lacinak and Chuck Tompkins teach viewers a technique that actually increases employee effectiveness at work—a technique perfected over twenty years at SeaWorld!

Whale Done!™ is designed to teach people how to improve their relationships at work in order to become more productive and to achieve better results.

We have to rely on and work with others in order to be productive and achieve results. The problem is that many work environments are not conducive to positive relationships. Instead, they employ the GOTcha approach (catching people doing things wrong). If an employee makes a mistake, then someone else is waiting to catch the employee with a GOTcha! Many times, GOTcha is the result of a lot of programs that focus on fixing problems. This type of culture can be unproductive and self-defeating. While focused on the mistake, we are inadvertently reinforcing what we don't want to happen—the negative behavior.

The Whale Done! approach can have a dramatic positive impact on your relationships with others. It is contagious and will help your entire organization increase productivity, improve employee morale, and achieve better results.

Once employees go through the course, they should be able to:

• Explain the impact of positive relationships and the Whale Done! approach
• Identify ways to build trust with others in the organization
• Identify and implement the five steps of redirection
• Identify and implement the four steps of the Whale Done! response
