II.  Managing Individuals and Teams: This training is designed for individuals being groomed for a team management role or for managers with less than five years experience leading teams. In this training, individuals discuss and plan the transition into their new roles, explore their primary job duties, learn best practices, and identify opportunities for growth and development. Participants examine their communication styles as they relate to employee management, and they learn to understand the needs and communication styles of other team members. Following training, these managers will be well prepared for a successful transition into positions of greater responsibility.

This training utilizes Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development to assist managers in reviewing their current team functioning. Managers create an action plan to eliminate barriers to their teams’ productivity and success. Participants learn to give formative feedback in a motivating way, to incorporate effective strategies for managing up, to lead successful meetings and to master other fundamental leadership skills. The training focuses on continual development and the immediate application and utilization of concepts learned.

III.  Work/Life Balance: Individuals examine their Work/Life balance, evaluate energy drains and develop action plans to eliminate non-productive behaviors. Participants focus on developing more efficient time management skills, evaluating key stresses, and creating a Work/Life balance vision and action plan. Following this training, participants will enjoy increased productivity and energy while incorporating new best practices. Participants learn to work “smarter, not harder,” so they are more productive and experience greater personal and professional satisfaction that leads to longer employee retention.

Follow-on coaching therefore facilitates behavioral changes and leads to increased accountability and productivity.
