MANAGING MULTI-GENERATIONS
Multi-generational work environments are commonplace today. In order to bring out the best in each generation, managers will need to adjust their management styles accordingly.

Each participant will identify personal characteristics that determine their brand of leadership and how to implement for greater success as a leader in their professional environment.
PERSONAL BRANDING
Personal branding is an essential tool for career success. Your brand is not what you do but who you are and the values you represent. Because your resume or business card doesn’t tell your whole story, successful branding helps individuals develop a reputation for advancement to create effective and meaningful engagement with business associates and customers. Participants are guided through a series of activities to identify and maintain a strong brand that enhances professional success. This session is beneficial for employees at all levels of a corporation, professionals and entrepreneurs.
INSPIRING A POSITIVE CULTURE
To positively influence how employees interact with one another requires effective leadership. It requires defining, modeling and communicating core values. Values set a foundation for the organization’s culture, improves morale, aligns individuals around specific, idealized behaviors and can guide difficult decisions by determining priorities in advance. Our values are the principles that give our lives meaning, guide our decision making and inspire us to act. Highly productive teams know each other’s core values and therefore collaborate and communicate more effectively leading to greater performance and business outcomes.
A workshop on values, by design, is more personal than typical work meetings. The focus is different. And it is important to take time for this kind of focus. Only focusing on tasks, business, and technical issues, isn’t enough if we are to build a great team or organization. We need to take the time to talk together about things like values. The group will complete a team assessment that informs on state of trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and focus on results. Discussion will include the importance and application of team values, the 5 dysfunctions of team and actions for leaders to inspire high functioning behavior as well as diversity and inclusiveness strategies.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

LEAD WITH CONFIDENCE
Using the Strengths Finder results, the group will plot and discuss strengths as individuals and as a team. This exercise will inform of how team can work together and build on other’s strengths for cohesiveness and inclusivity. Discussions will include the managers role in leveraging strengths, leadership styles and defining a cohesive leadership philosophy.
Learning Objectives: Understanding the difference between a leader and a manager; How to effectively influence peers and colleagues; Ability to determine areas of action to inspire team engagement; How to take action to reduce conflict to improve workplace relationships.
PRODUCTIVITY & TIME MANAGEMENT
Most people understand the importance of goal setting, but approximately 80 percent of people never set goals for themselves. And of the 20 percent of the population that does set goals, roughly 70 percent fail to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. It is well documented that individuals who frame organizational imperatives into goals that are meaningful and personally relevant achieve results more quickly and effectively increase productivity in the workplace. These actions inherently position them for career advancement opportunities. This session offers a new perspective on SMART goals by exploring the latest research regarding motivation and goal setting. Techniques are provided to pinpoint goal benefits, detect obstacles, identify short term actions, manage time stealing activities and prioritize responsibilities to inspire results that maximize performance.
