Despite the closing of the Allen county probate and juvenile courts today, employees were still hard at developing their leadership, communication, and relationships skills.
As apart of the courts annual meeting and staff training, the court welcomed guest speaker , Greg Gray, founder and president of Renaissance Unlimited, a professional leadership firm in Atlanta, Georgia.
During his presentation he explained how to get people to do what you want and how to deliver inspired services. He believes that people should always think of new ways to provide services.
"No matter what level of service you're delivering that there's always another gear," said Gray. "And that you should always be looking for that other gear. So whether it is interactions with coworkers or with the public, always try to find that next level gear to go into to serve the people that we ,quite frankly, are privileged to serve."
Allen county probate and juvenile judge, Glenn Derryberry, said Gray's presentation adds value to today's training.
"It's a chance to come in and kind of elevate our game a little bit when we bring in a speaker like we have today," said Judge Derryberry. "He gives up some things to think about and some important things to consider. We want to be providing top-notch quality service. We can always improve and that is why we are here."
Judge Derryberry said this training also helps prepare them for their move to the new juvenile detention center location on North Cole Street.
