Mobilizing People for Change
Managing change is a difficult process but when you are in the role of leader or manager, your behavior can make the difference between leading edge or getting stuck. This program examines change, the behaviors associated with successful change agents and strategies to help you and your team maneuver change initiatives with greater results.

Performance Management for Superior Results
Nothing is more critical than open and clear communication with your team to improve performance. Most managers struggle with providing the right kind of support and direction to produce superior and consistent results. This program is filled with practical guidelines and role plays to make any manager more effective.

Motivating for Results
The skills for building and maintaining a motivational environment are often missed by even the most seasoned manager. As the workforce continues to diversify, motivational environments become more critical to bringing about expected high level results. This program guides managers in understanding how to maximize their staff potential through intrinsic motivation not just external rewards.

Managing the Toughest Challenges
What constitutes a successful manager is often in the subtleties of their communication style, their mentoring approaches and their commitment to manage performance in the most effective way. In Managing the Toughest Challenges, participants will develop strategies for helping employees achieve their goals, provide feedback in difficult employee situations, motivating teams and coaching or communicating disciplinary action. In the process, participants identify leadership skills that are legally correct and are critical for changing organizations.

Managing Time to Maximize Productivity
Everyone has a need to achieve results but the difference between good and exceptional results often lies in how well an employee can manage priorities and task assignments. Using practical tools, this program guides employees toward gaining more control of their time, thus controlling their performance and productivity.

Managing Conflicts
No one is immune to conflict today so having the correct skills to use with consistency can support employee development to manage conflict effectively. Through skill practice and a variety of real-life examples, participants learn how to confront a problem and solve it, not run from it where it potentially becomes more destructive. Communication skills and problem solving form the basis of this workshop.
