    Successful leaders understand that regular coaching is integral to their job. We present coaching and training as part of an overall development process and show how to integrate both into other management processes. This enables managers to build their team all of the time, not just coach them when there is a problem that needs attention. The result is more productive, more effective teams. In this program, participants will learn to use coaching to improve the performance of others.

    Since early 2020, the business community’s response to the Coronavirus Pandemic has driven the dramatic shift to remote and virtual teams (hereafter referred to as RVTs). Will this transition be temporary or permanent? Only time will tell. Meanwhile anecdotal evidence suggests that many traditional management approaches are proving ineffective in sustaining remote team effectiveness. This program draws from an emerging body of best practices. It offers fresh perspectives and techniques that will allow leaders to retain the control needed to hold remote and virtual teams accountable while giving them the flexibility needed to get their jobs done. Ideal for managers supervising workers on different shifts as well as in remote locations.

    This four-hour course will explore the advantages to understanding how your boss “works” to create a more efficient, productive and positive relationship. Learning to anticipate your boss’ needs can offer multiple direct benefits for both you and your boss. Being able to establish a fluid line of communication with your supervisor and consistently going above and beyond will likely make you feel happier and more fulfilled when it comes to your work. This closer relationship with your boss also establishes a strong foundation of trust and respect and increases the confidence your supervisor has in your abilities.
