Effective coaching requires leaders to establish meaningful relationships in which they can engage in uniquely positive, candid and demanding conversations aimed at producing significant performance improvements. This seminar incorporates the very best practices employed by professional coaches and draws upon our extensive knowledge of experiential leadership development. Taught through a series of lectures, interactive exercises and practices, workshop participants will also be guided through The Leader As Coach model.

This session presents ways that managers can create and leverage their influence to build coalitions in order to effect positive change and achieve organizational goals. Managers who lead up are those who can influence across boundaries because they have the trust and respect of senior leaders and colleagues. "Leading Up" is essential to mangers who want to make organizational politics work for them in order to achieve sustainable results that complement the mission of their organization.

The purpose of this session is to provide managers from all departments with an understanding of financial reports, financial performance measures (ratio analysis), financial markets (risk and return measures) and the integration of finance and operations. The session is intended for middle and senior managers interested in how financial management can impact their decisions and opportunities. The session assumes no prior background in finance.

Participants will examine the root causes of the overload (you own a lot more of that than you think you do!), and how to take back control, one day at a time. The tips, tools and next steps all come from years of researching how people just like you successfully managed their own workflow. But come prepared to be challenged. We will uncover and address your biggest limiting beliefs about control, time, workflow, getting everything done, and what truly matters.
