Leadership Level 1 New Leaders Series

Focusing on effective use of time and our understanding of “time management,” participants will explore the reality of productive time, how it is used, how to say “no,” get more done and feel less stress. Participants will learn techniques to give them more control over their time, their energy and their lives.

Participants will come away with a road map for delegation, ensuring that delegated tasks are given to the right person and are given in a way that supports success, learning and task management. This course provides a proven methodology, enabling one to transfer tasks and responsibilities without the fear of losing control.

This workshop addresses the important leadership skill of coaching others for performance excellence. The ultimate outcome is enabling leaders to bring out the best in their employees. Participants will review the various types of coaching and the appropriate circumstances in which to use them. There will be practice, tools and take-away materials to ensure successful coaching and successful performance outcomes.

Nothing derails a team or project like snipes, squabbles and sabotage. This program enhances leaders’ ability to confront and manage healthy conflict to improve team performance. Participants will learn ways to openly and appropriately confront issues and solve interpersonal issues with ease.

This workshop focuses on high-impact spoken and written communication. Participants will gain an understanding of what they say and how they say it in regard to the impact it makes on others. This workshop also covers effective communication and how it contributes to career success. Participants will gain tools to understand their audience, develop a unique style and create multi-media tools that soar!

One of the most widely used and validated assessment tools, the MBTI identifies four basic preferences—how and where you get your energy, what you pay attention to when gathering information, what system you use in making decisions and how you go about getting things done. Individuals complete the MBTI prior to the workshop. Certified practitioners of the tool, administer and de-brief the assessment for individuals and groups, focusing on building awareness of one’s preferred communication style, identifying the strengths of that style and practicing leadership strategies by using the strengths of that style. Understanding that others you work with have different “types,” enables better communication, more effective management of others and better results.

The SocialStyles instrument measures one’s communication patterns. In this workshop, participants take a Self-Perception Questionnaire and score the results, learning their preference in one of four social styles: Driving, Expressive, Amiable and Analytical. Individuals also take a Versatility Self-Perception Questionnaire to learn how versatile they are in flexing their style in interpersonal relationships. The facilitator, trained in this instrument, will lead the group in lively, interactive exercises which develop understanding of the results, what the tool measures and how to apply the tool to improving workplace relationships.
