Performance Management (Alumni Webinar Series)

Date: November 20, 2024
Time: 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm

Location: Virtual Venue (Online)

Register on Zoom

As an executive coach and leadership trainer, I have found that for most leaders navigating the complexities of managing people is often the most challenging part of the job. Making this webinar essential and exciting for leaders seeking to elevate their management skills. This session lays the foundation for a new understanding of management. We will redefine management as “the art of getting things done through people” which stems from the viewpoint of Mary Parker Follett, a pioneer in the field of organizational management. The session will boil performance management down into four key phases—planning, monitoring, reviewing, and rewarding. Within these phases, we'll explore best practices for fostering clarity, delegating responsibilities, and ensuring all team members are held accountable. Additionally, participants will gain valuable insights into practical coaching tools such as the GROW model and the SBI framework for providing constructive feedback. By embracing a new mindset about performance management, you can unlock the potential to drive unparalleled productivity within your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop practical knowledge in order to create a sustainable performance management process for your organization.

• Equip participants with tools to effectively navigate difficult performance conversations with team members.

• Acquire a better understanding of how to effectively increase accountability, clarity and your ability to delegate.

We know that recruitment and retention challenges persist in the current economic environment; however, employee engagement stands out as a powerful and long-term strategy to combat these issues. Defined by Gallup as the involvement and enthusiasm of employees in their work and workplace, employee engagement is recognized as a competitive advantage supported by extensive research. To achieve greater involvement and enthusiasm, leaders must focus on fostering agency and dignity among their employees. By providing autonomy and generating alignment, leaders can empower their teams to take an active role in shaping their work. Creating a culture of psychological safety and offering genuine feedback further enhances feelings of dignity. By embracing these values, leaders can truly engage and empower their employees, ensuring a more fulfilled and committed workforce in the long term.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of employee engagement as a competitive advantage.

• Learn how to provide autonomy and generate alignment.

• Gain insights into creating a culture of psychological safety and offering genuine feedback to enhance employees' feelings of dignity.

“Fear is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master.  Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.  Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.” - Dan Millman

In the realm of leadership, fear can either be a potent ally or a crippling adversary. In this workshop we will delve into the complex emotion of fear. Through interactive discussions and introspective exercises, we'll explore the multifaceted role fear plays in leadership, from its potential benefits as a signal for critical decision-making to its detrimental effects on confidence and composure.

Drawing from real-world examples and participant experiences, we'll pinpoint the sources of anxiety in the workplace and uncover effective strategies for managing fear. Learn how to shift from reactive, fear-based cycles to passion-fueled visions that drive sustainable action and effective leadership. Discover the power of cognitive-behavioral theories in reshaping beliefs to diminish fear and unlock your true potential.

Moreover, we'll emphasize the importance of seeking guidance and support, highlighting the transformative role of coaching in navigating through fear and realizing your aspirations. Whether you're grappling with doubts about your goals or seeking to enhance your leadership skills, this workshop offers practical insights and actionable steps to conquer fear and thrive as a leader.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the nuanced nature of fear in leadership, distinguishing between its potential as an ally and its detrimental effects as an adversary.
  • Recognize the impact of fear on decision-making, confidence, and composure within leadership roles.

Although age-diverse work environments are not a new phenomenon, the span of generations present has increased over the last few decades as generations age into and out of the workforce. As workplaces diversify, we are challenged to modify our current ways of working with one another or even develop entirely new strategies. Oftentimes, when approaches to work vary and conflicts with one another arise, it is this generational divide that is identified as the culprit for workplace woes. This workshop will explore how age-associated stereotypes impact the workplace, how to recognize when these stereotypes can get us into difficult conversations, and how to navigate “challenges” through an informative and engaging lens.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- A cursory understanding of research on generations.
- How to consider generational differences in the workplace.
- Navigating generational differences and avoiding reliance on generational stereotypes.
- Effective communication strategies to consider for enhancing your workplace.
