Coaching to Optimize Performance (3 Hours)

A leader’s success depends on their ability to apply a coaching mindset to working through challenges and opportunities with their team. This session demonstrates an approach to helping team members become more self-reliant, more engaged, and more willing to commit themselves to taking ownership in their work. You’ll learn how to provide actionable feedback and targeted support that develops team members and encourages their initiative.

The Art of Effective Delegation (3 Hours)

Successful leaders are effective at delegating work and doing it in a way that empowers team members to take accountability for delivery. But there’s a fine line between delegating and "dumping." In this session, we’ll review an approach to delegation that establishes expectations while encouraging team members to take initiative in achieving outcomes. You’ll learn how to identify who’s ready for more accountability using a collaborative process that allows team members to retain a sense of ownership in their work.

Managing Conflict (3 Hours)

Unresolved conflict erodes trust, diminishes morale, and hinders a culture of ownership. This session focuses on those communication and negotiation skills critical to minimizing team dysfunction that could contribute to conflict, resulting in a more positive and productive culture. You'll learn to proactively identify and address potential conflict situations, fostering open and honest communication while guiding team members towards collaborative solutions.
