Session 1: TIME MANAGEMENT
Thursday | 2/12/26
Register by 2/5/26
As we navigate countless personal demands, make dozens of decisions and juggle numerous projects each day, it’s no wonder that anxiety, confusion and loss of control impair both personal and corporate productivity.
Our lives cry out for balance, and yet few can identify — let alone practice — the skills needed to maintain a sense of order and control.
In this session, you’ll start to identify the personal effectiveness skills essential for today’s fast-paced environment. No matter how you organize your work, the workshop will focus on applying key skills to create immediate and meaningful improvements that will help you:
- Develop effective techniques for planning and achieving short and long-term goals
- Prioritize your daily activities/tasks to accomplish your most important work
- Plan and schedule the necessary time for highly important work
- Make effective decisions and handle information flow efficiently
- Delegate with confidence and track delegations with greater ease and success
- Gain control through personal organization and desk management
- Plan and execute productive meetings
- Achieve balance in the key areas of life
Session 2: CORE COMMUNICATIONS
Thursday | 3/19/26
Register by 3/12/26
This session is best for those who want to build collaborative relationships and exemplify trust and respect, including new managers, supervisors and new hires who want to work confidently with others.
Whether you’re in a one-on-one meeting, negotiating with a vendor or speaking with a client, effective communication skills can help you handle any situation with confidence and finesse. Yet, the demands of a busy schedule often prevent us from dedicating a day to honing our communication skills, learning new techniques and practicing approaches to solve persistent problems.
This workshop will take participants from theory to practice with a solid combination of relevant content and opportunities for practice. Participants will explore the vast landscape of interpersonal communication best practices that can help them reach goals and secure a strong career path.
Session 3: ESSENTIALS OF LEADERSHIP
Thursday | 4/23/26
Register by 4/16/26
This session was designed specifically for newly promoted and frontline supervisors, to help strengthen their leadership abilities and improve communication and interaction with their teams.
Strong leaders are a hallmark of today’s most successful businesses. Resourceful, motivating and influential, these individuals are often born leaders who intuitively know what needs to be done and act on their instincts.
More often than not, however, supervisors are promoted from within the organization, with top candidates rewarded for their technical expertise and strong performance by upper management — not their leadership know-how. Due to increasingly complex demands in today’s business environment, such as doing more with less and ensuring 100% customer satisfaction and employee safety, formalized leadership training for newly promoted and frontline managers is simply not a priority.
So, how can you make sure your managers, supervisors and other business leaders receive the tools they need to succeed?
This program will prepare participants for a complete change of responsibilities and offer a plan for the challenges ahead. It will instill confidence in their role, while teaching them the expectations that come with leadership within a company. This session will teach and reinforce specific proven skills in a fast-paced, invigorating environment that will leave your supervisors well-prepared for the challenges awaiting them.
Session 4: COACHING & COUNSELING
Thursday | 5/21/26
Register by 5/14/26
This intensive workshop provides a series of activities, interactive exercises, role plays and case studies. It will help develop the confidence and experience necessary to coach your entire team toward improved performance and productivity!
Managers perform a variety of tasks daily, from scheduling and attending meetings, to reviewing metrics and generating client reports. Customer satisfaction always comes first, so when a team member’s performance slips, providing critical feedback and coaching is often a reactive practice instead of proactively encouraging job performance improvement.
In today’s extremely competitive environment, successful managers recognize that all team members must perform at 100% to produce outstanding results. Whether you’re working with a new employee or a seasoned veteran, there are always opportunities to coach and counsel employees to help sharpen their skills and boost their performance.
