Increase trust, credibility, and respect through words and actions.
Speak confidently, diplomatically, and tactfully in difficult situations.
Build rapport and strengthen relationships.
Use emotional controls to sustain success.

What You’ll Learn

Develop flexibility in your communication style and assess the intent of your messages against the outcomes. Learn to control your “hot buttons” and respond instead of reacting, maintain composure when criticized. Avoid conflict by staying calm and poised under pressure.

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 14:37:35 GMT

According to the Center for American Progress - The Women’s Leadership Gap (2018), women make up 50.8 percent of the U.S. population and earn almost 57 percent of the undergraduate degrees and 59 percent of all master’s degrees. They account for 47 percent of the U.S. labor force and 52.5 percent of the college-educated workforce. And yet, women make up just 26.5 percent of executive and senior officials and managers, 11 percent of top earners, and 4.8 percent of CEOs in S&P 500 companies.

What You’ll Learn

So why do men continue to hold many of the leadership positions in government and industry? What do women need to do to make sure their voices are heard equally in their place of business?

Why You Want To Learn It

Heighten your awareness of the current reality professional women face. Define gaps to achievement and identify behaviors to close the gaps. Define opportunities to add value, influence, and drive impact. Increase connections, relationships, and networks.

Learn proven methods for developing engaged, high-performing teams.

To that end, a study conducted by Dale Carnegie found that teams who are enthusiastic, inspired, confident, and empowered are considerably more likely to engage in achieving organizational goals. The research also indicated that leaders who sincerely care about their people foster a culture of engagement.

Today, more than ever, shaping how an organization ticks and how employees function within are top priorities.

Objectives:

Empower others and hold them accountable.
Build a culture of engagement.
Align performance goals with strategy.
Apply effective coaching techniques.
Recognize team success with enthusiasm.

Managing Up (Live Online) - Dale Carnegie Courses 11/25/2024 11:00 AM - 11/25/2024 12:30 PM

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 13:40:10 GMT

This 3-hour course includes 90 minutes of live online instruction and 90 minutes of self-directed learning.

In this course, we examine the ways we can influence the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization and work team, even if we are not the ones giving all the orders. We also commit to being more flexible in responding to others. Finally, we explore ways of managing our priorities and expectations, while accomplishing our goals and the goals of our manager at the same time.

Managing Up is about how to sell an idea “up” the organization. You’ll learn the importance of planning how to communicate with managers and colleagues, and now to manage priorities and expectations. Equally important to how we communicate our ideas, we’ll learn how to effectively receive suggestions and feedback.
