Team Building   

  • How to Give Great Feedback

  • Delivering feedback correctly can be more challenging than it seems. Leaders must balance honesty with sensitivity, ensuring the message is received without causing defensiveness or discouragement. Additionally, they must navigate their own discomfort and potential biases to provide feedback that is fair and impactful. Staff members face similar challenges, with the added pressure of potentially upsetting their managers. In this session, participants will learn the components of effective feedback and practice how to share their opinions effectively, both as leaders and staff.
     
 

  • Managing from the Middle

  • Team leaders, supervisors and other mid-range managers can sometimes suffer from “middle child” syndrome. They do not get the consideration given to individual contributors because they are categorized as leaders.  But they do not get the respect, deference, and resources that executives receive, because they are not executives. 

    So how does one achieve performance goals and juggle the administrative tasks required for middle management success, without the weight of executive authority or direct impact on production?

    In this course, we will discuss what it takes to be an effective middle manager and reveal best practices to help you position yourself and your team for success.

     

    Topics will include:

    • What it means to be a middle manager
    • Positioning your team for success
    • Managing for performance

     

    Audience

    Supervisors and other managers or team leaders not serving in an executive role.

     
 

  • Best Practices for Building High-Performing Teams

  • Good teamwork requires more than a group of people who like each other. Good teamwork requires strong, positive leadership, clear direction, and a common goal that the whole team desires to achieve. If you are a leader who desires to improve the current level of performance in your team, this course will give you the tools you need to achieve new levels of success!

    Topics will include: What it Means to Have a High-Performing Team; Leading High-Performance Teams; Why Teams Fail to Perform; Best Practices for Building High-Performance Teams; Evaluating Team Performance; Drafting Your Performance Improvement Plan of Action

  • Conflict Resolution

  • This course will help you to learn about conflict. It is not wrong or bad. It is just part of being a person in contact with other people. All of us experience conflict. We argue with our spouses, disagree with our friends, and sometimes even quarrel with strangers. At times, we lose sight of the fact that all this conflict is normal. So long as people are individuals, there will be the potential for conflict. We will explore how to handle or manage conflict in productive ways. That may be in our own interactions, when we support others to resolve conflict, or when we mediate and resolve conflict in a leadership role. Audience- Designed for anyone who is involved in resolving conflict - in teams, supervision, one-to-one, or one to many. Professionals, Team Leaders, Team Members, entry-level project managers, or key support people will benefit from resolving conflict in a constructive and effective manner.
