Manager Intensive 2

You’ve learned how to help your direct reports think more strategically, contribute well in meetings, handle change, and develop themselves. Now it’s time to refresh your skills and apply them to challenging situations and difficult conversations, so you are prepared for anything that might come your way as a manager. We’ll review what you learned in our previous workshops, assess your strengths and areas for further development, then spend 90% of this workshop practicing. This session is a confidence boost and a personal development boost, taking managers to the next level of mastery by turning core behaviors into habits.

What You'll Learn

During this workshop, participants will:

  • Review the concept of Behavioral Units (BUs) – how to break up a skill into its smallest behavioral units and practice those units in increasingly difficult situations.
  • Review the Behavioral Units (BUs) learned in CORE Part 2 workshops.
  • Self-evaluate skill levels in each of the above areas, now that they have had time to practice them.
  • Spend 90% of the workshop practicing their ability to apply these skills, in combination, in a variety of challenging scenarios. This includes practicing strategic coaching in situations where long term planning is needed, identifying the pivot points when a meeting goes wrong (and skillfully bringing it back), practicing ‘pitching skills’ to lead difficult change initiatives, and creating a development plan for team members that combines all of the above skills.
  • Discuss and resolve common challenges and sticking points as a group.

After this workshop, participants will know how to:

  • Be able to solve everyday problems more efficiently and effectively.
  • Consolidate and embed CORE Part 2 skills.
  • Feel confident in their ability to solve difficult scenarios and handle difficult conversations.
