Everything from managing remote employees to living in a world where the line has become blurred between what happens online and offline, means what worked last year could be ineffective in the coming years. Managers and supervisors need to learn how to adapt to a compromised economy and an up-and-coming workforce that’s progressively challenging the “status quo” for work ethics and work habits.
Understanding how to plan, strategize and adapt to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, is why managers and supervisor’s need to develop the right tools.
The workshops below will help bring you and your management team into 2021-2022 with the right skills. Designed as 4 to 6-hour online “live” sessions, participants will learn about each topic, while also engaging in hands-on activities and group discussions.
WHAT DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION MEAN TO LEADERSHIP PRACTICE
Tuesday, June 1, 2021 from 9 am – 3:30 pm
Diversity? Inclusion? A welcoming and inclusive environment? What does it all mean—in practice? These are words we hear across our various sectors, yet they are critical to our collective development and future. Diversity in the workplace has been linked to greater performance outcomes, but inclusion is critical for the retention of diverse employees.
GET READY FOR GENERATION Z IN THE WORKFORCE!
Friday, June 4 from 9 am – 3:30 pm
Generation Z (also known as the iGeneration or Digital Natives) roughly started between 1996 to 2012. At the moment, that means they are between the ages of 9 and 25. Without a doubt, we all will have to manage someone from the digital age along with diverse multigeneration work culture. What is the perfect mixture? How does one approach a challenging situation with cancel culture being prevalent? With the correct training, communication, and emotional intelligence, any team will have the perfect synergy.
EFFECTIVE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ)
Friday, June 11 from 9 am to 4 pm
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify and manage our own emotions, as well as tune into and respond appropriately to others’ emotions. High EQ in the workplace is essential.
NEW VISIONS IN LEADERSHIP POST-PANDEMIC
Thursday, June 17, from 9 am to 2 pm
As companies and schools, organizations and religious institutions struggle to redefine themselves in the aftermath of COVID-19, the leaders of these organizations are called upon to help chart a new course for their customers, employees and stakeholders.
CRISIS COMMUNICATION
Friday, September 17, 2021 / WCU Biltmore Park and online via Zoom
Crises are a fact of life. Regardless of the type of organization, we all are at risk. Manufacturers experience serious accidents and product recalls. Restaurants reel from outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. Educational institutions deal with deadly shootings. Government and business leaders commit crimes and/or act unethically, etc.
POWERFUL COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES FOR WOMEN
Friday, October 8, 2021 / WCU Biltmore Park and online via Zoom
Many women have built successful careers, but too few women have reached the highest levels in corporations, government, education and non-profit organizations. In ways that men do not, women must navigate a variety of obstacles, including stereotypical views, cultural expectations, and their own self-doubt and lack of confidence.
