What makes you great as an individual contributor doesn’t always translate to being a great manager or team leader.

There is a vast difference between getting the work done on your own and getting it done through other people.

A management role calls for new ways of thinking and a new set of skills. While some managers do receive initial training, others are given little or no support, and despite the best of intentions, mistakes are made.

But what if you had your own group of advisors who could help you avoid some of the pitfalls of managing people?

In this webinar you will learn 10 valuable pieces of advice from managers who have already gone through their own “trial by fire.”

These are the 10 things they wished they knew when they first became a manager and what they want you to know now. Consider this webinar your own personal advisory board!

About the Presenter: Casey Mitchell, (LinkedIn profile) is Founder and Principal of Waybridge Associates, Inc.   Casey’s primary focus is on management learning and development and working with new managers who want to make a successful transition into move into leadership roles. Prior to founding Waybridge Associates, Casey was human resource development manager at Marshalls Department Stores.

The difference between chaos & a smoothly running organization Is Leadership!

This webinar places considerable emphasis on experience as a key factor in leadership development.

Nearly every leader who makes it to the top of whatever pyramid she or he is climbing does so by building on earlier experiences.

The truly successful ones are those who learn from those earlier experiences – be they good or bad. By reflecting on and analyzing past experiences to help solve larger future problems leaders learn and grow from their earlier experiences.

Thinking back to a past or not so past leadership experience reflect on:

• How vividly did you communicate the vision for your task or project?
• Were you successful in motivating others?
• How realistic were your agendas and timetables?
• How well did you follow-through, and …
• Were you successful in securing resources?

You may even be thinking about the solitude at the “top.” If you have achieved a modicum of success, then you no doubt feel a certain tingling satisfaction perhaps even a bit of obsession.

In the tough times that we find ourselves in nowadays it is imperative that good leaders regenerate themselves, their people, and their organizations in the true spirit of collaboration so that they, together, stay ahead of the curve.

In this webinar we will challenge the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” culture and move toward a culture of “if it has not broken in the last six months, then we have time to reinvent it!”

That holds equally true for yourself, your strategies, your people, your business and operating processes, your tools, and your technology.

Presenter:  Dr Joe Bellefeuille (GGI bio) teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in leadership, human resource management, organizational behavior, and decision making.  Joe holds Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering as well as a Doctor of Education degree in human development. Currently Joe is studying how business entities can improve their performance by adopting deeply collaborative relationships with their vendors and customers.

If you want to succeed as a project leader, you must learn how to connect with people.

While it may seem like some people are just born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection.

Connecting with others—one-on-one or in teams — improves your sense of community, increases your ability to create teamwork and skyrockets your influence.

Project leaders who connect with others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who cannot connect.

The leaders who have learned the art of connection are able to communicate their ideas persuasively, establishing buy-in and attracting followers.

To be an effective and successful project leader, you need to learn to communicate in a way that connects with others. Join us and learn how to identify with people and relate to others in a way that increases your influence with them.

Presenter:  Michael Charles PMP (LinkedIn profile) is a John Maxwell Certified Speaker, Trainer and Coach who speaks on leadership and team development.  Michael did a great webinar for the PMI LEAD CoP (REP #S004) called Communicating to Connect (which is worth 1 Category A PDU).  Michael has led several teams as a Project Manager founded the “Light The World Foundation“, a charity founded in 2009 to educate children in Haiti.  Their 4th Annual Charity Concert will be July 12th, 2014.
