New! "Soft Skills Training" Especially for Managers!:
Coming Online in February, 2021!
Ready to deepen your people skills as you perform the role of manager? These three courses are for you! My colleague Anne Hilb, MSOD, and I will help you explore three key competencies helpful to managers: constructive communication skills; self-awareness as effective tool in working with others; and, understanding effective teamwork. Take one, take two, or take all three classes: join us and expand your repertoire of managerial skills!
The Courses:
Managers and Conflict: “Let’s Talk!”
Managers report that conflict seems to be unavoidable in the workplace. Come learn communication skills for navigating conflict and organizing a constructive conflict conversation.
Especially for Managers: Introspective Insights for Better Communication
All of us view the world through the prism of our personal experience. Come engage in exercises designed to help managers understand “where they come from” in order to engage with others in the workplace with differing backgrounds. Class content includes insights on the roles of bias and mindfulness in conversation.
Especially for Managers: Approaches to Dynamic Teamwork
Managers often say that teamwork has a life of its own—and it does! Come learn insights to effective teamwork and current thinking about new approaches to an age-old challenge!
