FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
Understanding the distinction between the role of a leader versus manager is a critical principle. While there
is no universal definition of leader, we can define manager. The influencers in any organization need to understand that they are expected to manage people, projects and resources when necessary, but they need to be leaders always. Promotion and position may give people the authority to lead, but leaders need more than that. They need the power to lead. This session identifies the roles that managers and leaders play within an organization, how authentic power is achieved beyond authoritative power, and what leaders need to do to effectively lead a group to achieve objectives. This session also focuses on a variety of leadership characteristics and leadership styles to manage a diverse workforce and take the steps necessary to handle inevitable conflict.

Team Building
FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
Because conflict will always happen, this is our most popular session. The difference between great teams and dysfunctional teams is not the absence of conflict, it is the collective ability to not let the conflict define the team. When harmful conflict happens the byproduct is wedges driven into relationships. Wedges left unattended are the catalyst to destroy individuals, teams ,departments, and organizations. Each of us possesses a well-developed Human Interaction Toolbelt (Toolbelt ) with all the skills needed to successfully engage one another. This session will focus on helping participants sharpen some of those tools and obtain a Wedge Remover to add to their Toolbelt . When team members use their Wedge Remover and encourage others to do likewise, they can be assured that their teams will be characterized by greater harmony, productivity and efficiency.

The pandemic generated one of the greatest workplace paradigm shifts and social experiments in modern history. Almost overnight we removed millions of employees from the workplace and asked them to stay home and work. Over coming the work-from-home distractions, lack of in-person supervision, and accessibility issues will help employees. However, the greatest challenge for most remote employees is the isolation and lack of connection. This session focusses on solutions to these challenges, and best practices for creating the optimal structure to help employees succeed in the remote and hybrid environment. This session includes a discussion of leadership qualities necessary in times of crisis to bring peace, security, and confidence to employees.

We could continue to rely on a tradition of annual performance evaluations to document that good employees are doing well and bad employees need to improve (and make our employment defense counsel very happy). Or we could reimagine a traditional practice and revitalize our workplace with more regular Check-Ins.
​
This session will focus on how to implement a process for regular employee coaching and Check-Ins with employees to remind those good employees how great they are and how much we value them in our organization. These regular Check-Ins also serve as a reminder for those employees that need to improve their performance. Our discussion will focus on how these Check-Ins should be structured (e.g., how long, how often, who should attend, and where should they take place), what should be covered during the Check-In, and how the messaging is critical. Easing the annual burden felt by managers and supervisors who procrastinate the task of writing and delivering annual performance evaluations. Through this process and structure good employees will be consistently reminded they are valued and thus increase their organizational commitment and engagement, while underperforming and underachieving employees will realize they cannot escape accountability so they will need to improve or move-on. The result: a revitalized workforce where people feel they are working in an appreciative and equitable environment.

Today's managers and supervisors face the challenge of gaining and keeping the trust of staff, personnel, and the leadership above them. The ability to develop, keep and rebuild trust is not only necessary but it is what will shift the culture of organization towards positive sustained change by giving leaders the power to lead. This skill gives them the fortitude to make the tough decisions and generate buy-in from all involved parties. This training focuses on 3 components of developing trust: building great relationships, utilizing good judgment, and being consistent. By discussing concrete strategies in these three areas, leaders will be able to not only trust themselves but also be able to successfully navigate tough conversations with team members, earn the confidence of their colleagues, and be a trusted team member by the leadership at the top.

Shifting a culture must be addressed at the foundational level for it to have lasting effect. Issues plaguing a workplace culture must be removed at the root level to achieve sustained change. Anything less is a temporary band-aid approach. Creating sustained change in relationships and workplace culture requires use of these four maxims of change.
1. Walk the Talk - Credibility Maxim
2. Encourage Authentic Participation - Buy-In Maxim
3. Champion the Cause - Momentum Maxim
4. Encourage Accountability - Morale Maxim.
Any organization can achieve the change objectives they desire. This session will empower all participants to understand how to achieve sustained change to a more positive workplace culture, a culture defined by support and teamwork, or a culture of belonging.

OBJECTIVES: Effective Governance
FORMAT: Available Live in-person, virtually, or hybrid
Elected and appointed officials operate at their highest and most effective level when they are focused on discharging their duties as a governance team member. The public expects their local government officials to stay within the bounds of their authority as they lead the City. This ensures the creation of a predictable workplace culture for City employees. This also ensures the immunities afforded members of the governance team are maintained.
Specifically, this session will cover the origins of power the City Council exercises and how the people who grant them such authority remain in charge and do not yield their sovereignty. This session will review some aspects of transparency laws, the importance of maintaining the public trust, and the importance of staying within the bounds of established municipal codes and state and federal law.
Finally, this session focuses on principles of leadership and the value of effective delegation to a City leadership team charged with executing the vision of the governance team.
