Having a strong culture of civility in the workplace has many benefits, including improved morale, retention, and productivity. This session is designed specifically for managers who want to cultivate and nurture a more respectful work environment. Managers will learn how the actions of all team members can contribute or detract from a civil work environment, the importance of creating standards of civility, how to address uncivil behavior, and how to create and encourage a culture of civility. Coaching for Performance and Growth Coaching others is one of the most critical, yet underdeveloped skills among leaders. Learn the value of coaching, the difference between managing and coaching, and specific techniques that can lead to improved performance and stronger employee engagement. Communicating Up and Across When we communicate effectively we save time, reduce misunderstanding, and develop stronger workplace relationships. In this session, learners will develop greater awareness of their own communication style, the impact of using this style exclusively, and ways to adapt their dominant style to better meet the communication needs of others. Communication That Connects Nearly every core business function centers on the ability of leaders and their teams to communicate effectively. Individuals who develop their communication skills are better equipped to share important information, convey ideas, and motivate others to work together to achieve organizational results. Discover the barriers to effective communication, the importance of active listening, and techniques to positively connect with people with different communication styles.
