Leading Through Change and Disruption

September 11

In business, we want more success, less stress, and greater satisfaction. We know that gimmicks and quick fixes won’t work and we realize that we must solve problems at the root cause, not the symptoms level. This webinar will give unique insights and tools to prepare organizations, leaders and staff for today’s constant and inevitable change.

Webinar: Engaging and Retaining Key Employees

September 24

Organizations become more effective when they can increase the population of “A” players – defined as those who are top performers both in behavior and performance. Determining who are the “A” players from Receptionist to Project Manager to Sales Rep is both art & science. Most organizations develop the “art” of understanding the kind of relevant experience necessary for their jobs and pinpointing the required education/academic training. Determining where your employees fall on the performance scale will be critical to how you run and operate your business. This session will expand on these concepts and discuss findings on how to keep good employees engaged as well. With this insight you’ll be better equipped to “get the right people in the right seats”.
