Management Training – Parent or Manager?

Have you ever felt like more of a parent than a manager? You may not be that far off! What does parenting have to do with managing people; or vice versa? Let our management training seminars, management training classes, and management training courses reveal the connection and show you why they are similar.

It’s proven that children need support, encouragement and positive reinforcement of positive behaviors. Is this beginning to sound familiar? When you work in learning partners during our management training seminars, management training classes, and management training courses, you will discover the similarities and how to leverage them for best results as a manager.

Managers use developmental coaching to train team members as a parent would teach their children. At our management training seminars, management training classes, and management training courses, we will work on exercises that teach the most effective steps for coaching team members.

Management Training – Managing Through Conflict

As a manager, you have many roles. One such job is that of mediator (neutral) and sometimes arbiter (decision maker). And as we discuss in our management training class Philadelphia, management training program Atlanta and management training Washington DC, there are times when you will need to employ these skills.

 

As much as we strive to foster team work, there are lots of factors at play when people work together, many times creating difficult conditions for collaboration. Differing personalities, values, skill levels, EQ-Total Life Intelligence and more guarantees that people will not always see eye to eye. During our management training class Philadelphia, management training program Atlanta and management training Washington DC, we take you through many skills and insights to help you understand different personality types and how to best manage them especially when there is conflict.

 

In addition to being versed in asked powerful questions and listening with Level II intensity, a key to successful mediation is to suspend judgements. Suspending judgements takes two of the four quadrants of EQ-Total Life Intelligence: Self-awareness and Self-management. When you are in the role of mediator, it’s best to consciously put yourself in a state of mind of neutral curiosity about what’s going on. Let your team members discover the issues and solutions with your guidance. We address how to communicate, listen and facilitate in our management training class Philadelphia, management training program Atlanta and management training Washington DC.

Presentation Training – The Happiness of Your Audience

As a presenter, it’s smart to know that you will likely come across plenty of unhappy people in your audiences. It may not be that they are unhappy with your presentation, but they may just be personally unhappy people. It’s hard not allowing that to curb your enthusiasm, however in our presentation training San Francisco, and San Jose, presentation class New York City, and Atlanta, and presentation training Philadelphia, and Washington DC, we encourage you to stay in your own happiness no matter your audience’s state of being.

 

A Master by the name of Don Miguel Ruiz writes about not taking anything personally. It’s hard to do at first. But, it’s something that can become ingrained with practice. It’s also vital to your role as a presenter. The thoughts and opinions of others should not knock you off course in a presentation. In fact, when you participate in our presentation training San Francisco, and San Jose, presentation class New York City, and Atlanta, and presentation training Philadelphia, and Washington DC, we work with you on staying the course and winning over your audience through genuine engagement.

 

While you are presenting, you are in fact the leader of your audience. That also means you are leading from happiness to inspire audience members to greater happiness. During our presentation training San Francisco, and San Jose, presentation class New York City, and Atlanta, and presentation training Philadelphia, and Washington DC, you will make the connections needed to equate both mood and relevant material for meeting your audiences overt and inner needs. Why not lead them to a greater sense of happiness?

Management Training – Probation period and the Scarlet Tanager

The male scarlet tanager is one of the most colorful woodland birds in America with a body of brilliant red and jet black wings. But like a new employee who interviewed well at first and looks at the start to be a super star candidate…things aren’t always as they seem on the surface.

 

At our management training Boston, management training seminars Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we use the following example as a parallel for probationary periods:

 

Ornithologists have studied the tanager’s mating and nesting habits extensively. A female selects a partner, they build a nest, they mate, and she lays a clutch of eggs. While the eggs can go without her body warmth for an hour at a time, she elects to stay on them, depending on her mate to bring her food. If the male fails to feed her for even as little as one hour, she leaves, abandoning him and the eggs before they hatch. You see, this is a test period. Once hatched, the nestlings will each need to be fed 3-4 times an hour. If the male can’t even feed the female, he surely can’t do the work of co-feeding an entire brood. In effect, he’s fired.

 

When you have an employee on a probationary period, whether as a new hire or as part of progressive discipline, it is critical that you commit enough time to properly assess their progress. In our management training seminars Boston, management training Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we cover this important process in the "Evaluation" segment. Once you let a poorly matched employee through the probationary period, it is that much harder to get them back on course, especially if the problem is attitudinal. But skill progress needs to be assessed too.

 

At our management training seminars Boston, management training Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we suggest you follow the example of the female tanager. Cut your losses early and place your efforts in finding a replacement that will motivate, inspire and lead your team to success.
