About This Course

Outstanding organizations have unique cultures and characteristics. They understand how important each employee is to their organization.

For example, have any complainers in your organization? Of course! But what I’ve found as I've worked with great organizations is that they don’t tolerate criticism unless it is constructive...unless there is a commitment to authentically examine issues, look for solutions, find the facts, and exhibit the courage to question assumptions and have tough conversations.

As I examined successful organizations - Fortune 500 organizations, small, medium, and large companies, non-profit, for-profit organizations, education, healthcare - you name it! - it was amazing to see how the presence of a few characteristics made it that much easier to engage in additional characteristics demonstrating a synergistic, dynamic relationship. This course shows you how to examine where your organization stands and offers opportunities for employees to have productive conversations on how they can contribute to a successful culture.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
