Tired of the command and control style of management?

So, stop managing and start coaching! Coaching is the ability to bring out the best in people.

It is the ability to work with a diverse set of team members to help them be creative, empowered and motivated. Coaching is not “command and control”, it is not acting as the benevolent dictator (haven’t we all worked for someone like that?).

Rather, it is the art of asking powerful questions and using powerful language so that the person being coached will come up with answers for him or herself.

The focus is on helping your team members to be resourceful and accountable while getting the job done. Join us for an engaging and interactive presentation.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Discover the difference between traditional management and coaching
• Find out how and why coaching works
• Learn how to develop powerful questions and how to hold people accountable
• Building rapport, a key to developing strong relationships
• Tips on how to develop a group into a team

Presenter:  John Kaman PMP, is a management coach, mentor and educator.  John has 22 years of experience in Research and Development Management with both 3M Company and Imation Corp and is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Minnesota. He holds a Masters degree in Psychology/Human Development, a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a certificate in Professional Personal Coaching

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!
