It is not uncommon for small to mid-size municipalities to rely on vendors for their professional development needs. Moxie Consulting has worked with over 15 cities in both Texas and Arkansas, to address their leadership and employee training expectations. We have developed a working partnership and in effect, serve in the role of an internal training team. Classes offered are diverse and include many of the subjects on the Menu of Topics list and are often offered multiple fiscal years to allow the entire targeted audience to attend.
The classes are offered in the timeframe that works best for the city and are tailored to include city specific policies and practices. Doing so allows the content to be relevant for the employees and job related for ease of application after the class ends. Lisa’s years of municipal government experience allow her to use real examples and relate to the issues discussed including council members, citizens and vendor scenarios.
Lisa is also often asked to develop specific topics relevant to the specific city, recently creating content for a half day Department Director retreat which included the use of the DiSC as a communication style assessment and ended with teams creating names for their bowling teams as they worked together to miss the gutter and strike the pins.
