Enlisting Support for HR Initiatives

There are so many misguided, outdated HR practices floating around, that it's time we call "Enough!" to the ones that don't make sense and are actually doing more harm than good.

For every HRBP, CHRO, and human resources employee who works to improve the employee experience.

5 Things Every HR Leader Needs to Do Right Now

Better listening is more than a social nicety. It's the glue that bonds relationships. In business, listening and strong communication impact every aspect of company culture. Employee engagement and productivity levels are directly linked to the quality of listening exhibited by managers and leaders. What's more, collaboration, team effectiveness, and employee retention are all impacted by this one simple behavior. Join this webinar to learn about the hard costs of neglecting this vital soft skill.

The Business Case for Listening Better

Conflict isn't always bad. The avoidance of conflict, in fact, can be worse than the conflict itself. If your company culture is highly conflict averse, you probably have false harmony, group think, and echo chambers that interfere with true collaboration and commitment. Team effectiveness is compromised by all that niceness because no one ever really feels heard and considered. Going along just to get along is merely a recipe for standing still. Learn about the benefits of conflict and how to use it productively for ideation, innovation, decision making, and building trust throughout the organization.

The Vital Role of Conflict in Healthy Teams

The 1-to-1 meeting with your boss doesn’t have to be nerve-wracking. 

You don’t have to go into these meetings with butterflies, wondering what’s on the agenda, uncertain about what you should prepare, and anxious about what negative feedback you’re about to be ambushed with. 

Instead, find out how you can influence the topics in your 1-to-1 meetings, how you can use this time to showcase your efforts and achievements, and how you can express your needs and opinions when you meet with your manager. In other words, learn how to assert yourself and make the most of 1-to-1 meetings.

Making the Most of 1-to-1 Meetings

As a Coach, you're focused on people development and a company culture that aims to help people grow and maintain high levels of employee engagement. But when it comes to career roadblocks or blindspots, getting people to move outside their comfort zone can be tricky. They may not be aware of issues related to their soft skills or emotional intelligence gaps. How do you get them to see it, acknowledge it, care about it, and work on it? In this presentation, we'll cover the techniques for easing people into these tough conversations that promote self-awareness.

The Delicate Matter of Coaching for Emotional Intelligence

Every organization wants to hire “self-motivated” individuals. 

Self-motivation shows up in the competency model, the job description, the behavioral interviewing questions, and the expectations for the role. More often than not, people who have demonstrated “self-motivation” are selected for these roles.

So what happens? Why do these self-motivated individuals seem to lose their motivation? What causes dips in motivation that sweep across an entire organization? And what can you do about it? (Spoiler alert: managing out the people who aren’t motivated and replacing them with “self-motivated” individuals won’t work over the long term!)

Learn how to personally motivate every member of the team in ways that are self-sustaining and long-term. Learn how to increase and magnify self-motivation. And learn what NOT to do so you won’t diminish self-motivation. 

During this presentation, you may even find some tools you can use for your own boost in motivation. 

Part 11 in the video series "Why Wait to Be Great?"

Motivation Is Personal: Are You Tapping into It?

Being promoted from within is recognition that you've done well. It's also an extra challenge because you now have to reset relationships with peers and friends who you'll now be managing. Shifting from buddy to boss isn't easy. As a supervisor or manager who has to navigate this transition alone, you may feel a little unsure about how to proceed. This presentation will help you avoid common mistakes, maintain trust and collegiality, and enlist the support of your team members even as you're learning the ropes in this new relationship.

Managing Your Peers & Shifting from Buddy to Boss

We said… they said… 

They always, they never….

It’s not fair.

If you’re hearing these kinds of finger-pointing statements in your workplace, it’s time for an intervention! Tensions within a team or between two teams have serious detrimental effects on everyone involved, right through to your customers and end users. It’s not sustainable to do business this way! 

At the heart of most team tension is a fundamental misunderstanding about who does what and why things are done that way. 

In this presentation, we’ll offer examples and case studies about teams that needed to get back on track and what it took to get them there. You’ll get practical tips you can use to diagnose and address common issues that interfere with true collaboration and unity. 

Part 10 in the video series "Why Wait to Be Great?"

Tackling Team Tensions

Congratulations on your recent promotion into management. As a new supervisor or manager, employee engagement will be one of your top priorities. Wait, what? They didn't mention that in the interview? Well, it's just one of MANY things you really need to know before you learn the hard way. Employee engagement is the #1 contributor to business growth and success in any initiative you will undertake. No matter what your company culture contributes, direct reports depend most on their managers to build trust, help them develop, and keep them engaged. Join this presentation to learn more about all those other secrets, too...

The New Manager Playbook for Accelerated Success

Bruised egos, misunderstandings, personality clashes, competition for resources, and more can ruin relationships in the workplace. 

Sometimes, neither party can remember why they don’t get along. Sometimes, entire departments are split into an us/them mentality even though no one can articulate why it has to be that way. 

Along the way, it was usually a breach of trust that caused the divide in individual or group relationships. Those breaches are often inadvertent and unintended. People didn’t mean to injure or offend others... they just didn’t know what they didn’t know!

So what can you do about it? How can you restore relationships and rebuild trust when there’s a lot of baggage, history, and habits that keep people divided? How can you build bridges for people to come back together and work in a collaborative, unified, and trusting way?

Tune in for this presentation for tips and techniques that really work!

5 Questions Every Leader Needs to Consider in 2023

Fear of exposure. Holding back. Not taking risks – even the little ones – because your confidence is shaky. The uncertainty, the feeling that you’re always skating on thin ice, the little voice in the back of your head… what would you be able to do if you didn’t have to battle these in the background?

The good news is that you’re not alone and that it doesn’t have to be this way!

In this presentation, you’ll find out how to recognize and overcome secret struggles like:

• Imposter Syndrome
• Self-Sabotage
• Risk Aversion
• Perfectionism Paradigm 
• Human Doing vs. Human Being

We’ll look at the research that explains these struggles, symptoms to help you recognize these tendencies in yourself and others, concrete steps for overcoming these struggles, and success stories from people who have moved past these struggles and closer to realizing their own potential.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & Other Secret Struggles

Another boring, go-nowhere meeting. Another training that was little more than an information dump. If you're not training trainers and meeting leaders the skills of facilitation and the principles of adult learning, they're probably missing the mark.

You'll receive a checklist of facilitation competencies and other useful takeaways when you attend this presentation.
