April 7: Conflict Management: Mastering the Pivot at University of Wisconsin-Stout (Menomonie). Conflict can be a destructive force in an organization's culture as well as in your personal and professional relationships. Having a strategy to pivot away from these situations will help you to preserve your health and well-being. Time is running out to register! This workshop will also be offered in Madison on April 27.
April 11: Taking Your Leadership Pulse.The difference between good companies and high-performing companies can most often be measured by leadership effectiveness. How much of your own leadership potential have you realized? In this Madison workshop, you'll explore your own leadership characteristics in the dimensions of cognitive fitness, trust, failure, and self-awareness. As with so many of our workshops, there is a high degree of engagement with your instructor, so we must limit the class size. Register soon to reserve your seat!
April 19: The second session in the
Becoming a Fantastic Facilitator series. The class will focus on how to facilitate virtual meetings using various technologies. Getting people together in person is always desirable, but can be highly impractical, costly, and time consuming. You'll learn the best ways of bringing people together when you're all in different places, and the skills and techniques necessary to keeping your meetings engaging in those circumstances. This is a half-day afternoon session offered in Madison.
