I have recently built and led Human Resources Operations in the Canadian Oil Sands and built organizational capacity working with an elite British consulting firm to restructure the Saudi Pharmaceutical Company (2006) in preparation for an IPO. In 2002 I worked with the Balquaa Applied University with my consulting partner Dr.Anis Khassenaweh ( currently of UAE Higher Colleges of technology – reference) to develop and implement a new strategic plan to integrate, streamline and engineer a unified and effective governance system for all 17 institutions of the Jordanian University and Colleges sector.

My most recent consulting assignments have required leading change and building capacity in the Alberta Health Services ($13.9 billion Canadian dollars operating budget) as well as the Canadian Colleges and Universities sector. I have just finished a consulting engagement to review the Competency framework, Organizational fit and HR Performance Management systems for the Solicitor General of Alberta.

Here to help you solve your people problems and to help your people solve their own problems. Inspiring a safer, healthier more productive and happier workplace.

What�s the problem and how can I help? From performance management to interpersonal relationships, conflict and dispute resolution to leadership skills and wellness I help clients first find the problem and secondly develop and deliver effective solutions.

I am successful in assisting organizations because people trust me almost immediately. It is from that trusted advisor position that I can obtain full-disclosure and help my customers to get to the root of sensitive issues and use personal accountability to resolve them. By being naturally collaborative and inclusive I gain buy-in and cooperation from all involved parties to build a strategy that can be successfully implemented to address real problem(s) in meaningful, measurable and sustainable ways.

I am an expediter and handle problems tactfully, strategically and professionally, and for seventeen years I have been providing consultations, coaching services and customized solutions to customers from diverse backgrounds. My expertise in Career Coaching and Mindfulness has assisted people to make better decisions in business, career and life management.

I enjoy handling sensitive problems and I am entrusted with information that others sometimes cannot get at. I think fast on my feet and am fun to work with. I�ve had my share of �learnings� and achievements and am comfortable sharing those when appropriate, in order to encourage others to achieve their best result. My can-do and positive attitude and energy are infectious, and well tempered with professionalism. I have a very strong work ethic and am compelled to understand expectations, head-off problems through open and timely communication of progress to clients and strive for client satisfaction.

In addition to consulting work, I have been committed to athletics for over 20 years as a participant, referee and as a coach. More recently, in the past five years I was a certified Personal Trainer in British Columbia, am a certified Group Fitness Instructor in Alberta and am a member of Alberta Fitness Leaders Certification Association. Currently, I personally train six days a week and I am the team trainer for the Provincial Champion Sherwood Park Titans Jr. Women�s Lacrosse Team and Synatics Synchronized Swimming club. I understand and promote personal accountability, know how to facilitate and negotiate to obtain a win-win result.

I have been consulting for over 15 years and on an as-needed basis putting out fires and helping people who excel to keep doing so. I am now looking for a place within a business that could benefit from these experiences to contribute to a safer, healthier more productive and happier workplace.

When people ask me, “What do you do?” I respond, “What do you need done?” After the initial chuckle I then ask, “What are your organization’s two biggest problems?” The problems are usually to make the cash register ring…louder – a marketing issue – and some sort of people problem – a training issue. Thus, I do marketing and training. Two of my goals are to make you look good to both your boss and your people and to exceed your training expectations for a maximum return on the investment of your training dollar$. I’m a high-energy, dynamic trainer and keynote speaker who uses humor to make learning fun. I bring over 25 years of experience to your training room with a track record of satisfied customers. My mission is to treat each client as if they were my “ONLY” client. Now, here is where I differ: As a behavioral psychologist, I suggest that you provide me with two lists: 1.The skills and behaviors YOU would like the participants to come away as a result of training 2.The skills and behaviors the PARTICIPANTS themselves would like to learn I then deliver a custom value-added training program meeting the needs of BOTH groups. While training programs come across your desk constantly, take a minute to review my list of “meat and potatoes” seminars and keynote addresses. Many are the hot, new, and fresh topics while others address the basics. I guarantee they will produce immediate results and positive behavior change, increase productivity, and contribute to your organization’s goals. Approach to Training and Training Style Dr. Elliott B. Jaffa is a behavioral and management psychologist and creative problem solver with over 25 years of training and management experience. As a dynamic and high-energy professional keynote speaker, trainer, and marketing consultant, his focus is on results and solutions–the immediate transfer and application of learning to the workplace. He feels that, “No matter how good business is, it could always be better.” Dr. Jaffa does not hide behind a lectern (unless you want him to) but rather wanders into and interacts with his audience. He takes great pride in his sense of humor and common sense in addressing today’s management problems and guarantees to make learning a positive experience while exceeding your training objectives. Dr. Jaffa’s Rx: a “how-to,” practical, creative, interactive, high-energy presentation to motivate you and your colleagues that reap maximum value for your time and training dollar$. Dr. Jaffa holds a doctorate in education from the University of Maryland and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Xavier University. Dr. Jaffa’s objective is to incorporate lecture, role playing, audience participation, and case studies to build new positive behaviors into the participants’ behavioral repertoire, motivate participants, and challenge them to think creatively for maximum value for their time and your organization’s investment in training. His primary training goal is to ensure that information learned today will be applied on-the-job tomorrow. Participants come away with a better understanding of how to apply newly learned skills to become more effective, communicative, and productive within their organization.
