Detailed Overview/Outline

Spend a day with us and gain powerful tools to become an effective manager.

Discover the management techniques that get results.

The best managers and supervisors aren't born that way. They develop the skills needed to successfully juggle the many tasks each day brings. They learn to give clear direction, make their ideas known, and resolve conflicts. These highly effective managers and supervisors know how to do their jobs by adopting proven techniques and applying them to their unique situations.

The Management Conference is designed for busy people like you — busy professionals who recognize the value of others’ experience and want to benefit from it. In just one day, you'll gain ideas and tools that you'll start using the very next workday.

This one-day conference is like no other conference you've attended. It addresses specific areas of knowledge and action that are essential to facing your daily challenges, including:

• Learning basic management skills
• Communicating effectively
• Delegating responsibility
• Motivating employees
• Building a strong team
• Overcoming employee attitude, performance, and emotional problems
• Managing change

You’ll come away from this conference with renewed enthusiasm and confidence, ready to be the kind of manager or supervisor who can negotiate the dynamic workplace of the 21st Century. It’s an opportunity for growth that will help you find your place among the ranks of the very best.

What you'll gain in a single day:

A learning experience tailored to your needs. Your schedule is up to you. Our 2-track, 4-session format allows you to pick and choose, mix and match. Attend the sessions that will give you what you want. It’s a smorgasbord of opportunities to improve your performance.

A chance to learn from the people who know. The techniques and insights you’ll come away with are not "theoretical." They’ve been perfected and sharpened through experience. You’ll learn from the people in the trenches.

Ideas and methods you can apply as soon as you’re back on the job. Chances are, before you’re an hour into your next workday, you’ll have an opportunity to put what you’ve learned into practice. Before the day is over, you’ll see your effectiveness increase significantly.

Seminar Overview

Track One: Becoming a More Effective Manager and Leader

Session 1: From First-Time Manager to Seasoned Professional

This session will give you an overview of basic management skills and help you identify and overcome common problems. You'll leave with the knowledge you need to maximize your performance and the performance of people you manage.

Session 2: Managing Multiple Projects and Priorities

How do you decide which task to tackle first when they're all "urgent"? How do you decide what's really urgent and what's just important? How do you keep tabs on several projects at once without losing your cool? In this session, you'll learn ways to set priorities and manage tasks more efficiently.

Session 3: Powerful Communication Skills

Communication is more than what you say — it's how you say it. Clear communication is among the most important tools of effective management. This session will give you the keys to successful communication, so you can get your position and ideas across.

Session 4: Making the Transition from Manager to Leader

There's a world of difference between managing and leading. This session will show you how to draw on every inner resource you have, and become the kind of leader who inspires others to perform at peak capacity.

Track Two: Overcoming Management and Supervisory Challenges

Session 1: Overcoming Negativity and Attitude Problems in the Workplace

Negativity and bad attitudes constitute one of the most difficult challenges a manager or supervisor will ever face. This session will show you how to identify the causes of negativity and attitude problems, help you develop a strategy for addressing them, and reveal ways to create a work environment that encourages cooperation and harmony.

Session 2: Using Criticism and Discipline to Turn Around Problem Employees

The ability to criticize or discipline employees without breaking their spirit is among the most important skills a manager must develop. Learn how to avoid making others defensive so that your message gets through, what should happen if the problem doesn't go away, and how you can turn a negative situation into a positive experience for the employee and for you.

Session 3: How to Handle Anger and Emotion in the Workplace

Learn how to manage emotions — yours and others'. You'll leave with tools to help you react appropriately when the anger is directed at you, and you'll be able to defuse potentially explosive situations.

Session 4: Managing Through Change

Change is constant — that's a given. How to be an effective manager or supervisor in the midst of change is not. This session will show you what steps to take when change threatens jobs and how to communicate change and position it positively.
