Leading Virtually (BR04)
We are told absence makes the heart grow fonder…is that true in the workplace? Maybe not. How do you lead your team when you can’t actually see what they are doing?

This class focuses on ways to lead without being in the same room with them. It is about being more intentional with your communication.

Develop long-term and short-term coping skills to effectively manage pressure, conflicts and feedback. Techniques to achieve more balance and energy in their life will increase their job performance.
Coaching Virtually (zzzz)
Most managers spend their time fixing problems and putting out fires instead of doing their own work. Coaching allows managers to teach and empower their direct reports to do their work and do it well while the manager then steps in to “tweak” it, thus giving the manager time to do their own work. Has that changed now that you don’t have the physical presence of your employees? COVID has changed the work dynamics and you as a leader are learning to coach your team from home. Participants will learn and practice the skills using worksheets to have better coaching conversations with their direct reports creating better overall work outcomes.

Coaching under new circumstances Covid-19 (BR10)
Has Coaching changed since the Stay at Home Orders went into place? Do people behave differently? Have people changed? The answer to all these questions is probably yes!! We are working under a completely new set of dynamics. Our “Water Cooler” conversations have changed to on-line conversations. Interactions have changed. Are people feeling left out? As a leader these are big concepts that need to be understood. This class is very interactive and is built around the real life situations of the participants. Being virtual in many cases forces your employees to intentionally communicate. If they avoided communicating with an employee in person it is that much easier to avoid them virtually, how do you coach this dynamic?
