10/30 – LEADING WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE MOST IMPORTANT
SKILLSET AND MINDSET YOU NEEDThey say the Achille’s heel of great
leadership is the lack of Emotional Intelligence (EI). The ability to
relate well to others and manage one’s emotional state is by far the
most critical leadership attribute today.
Join US at our next COFFEE TALK AS WE DIG INTO THE_ NEUROSCIENCE OF EI
_and learn how to:
· Take steps to gain self-awareness.
· Strengthen your working relationships
· Take charge without being a micromanager and be compassionate
without being perceived as a push over – finding a balanced
approach.
· Keep your composure when dealing with sensitive and hard-to-manage
employee conflict situations.
· Avoid opening yourself up and your organization to possible legal
risks by engaging in reactionary and impulsive decision-making.
· Be the calm in the storm

With the continuation of the #MeToo movement and the heightened
awareness around harassment issues in today’s workplaces, employers
need to be more vigilant than ever in addressing complaints.
_WE WILL BE FEATURING OUR COFFEE TALK “EXPERT” AND EXPERIENCED
EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY – RYAN NEUMEYER, ESQ. Ryan is a member of the
Cleveland law firm of McDonald Hopkins and represents management on a
variety of employment law matters. He regularly speaks on WORKPLACE
HARASSMENT AND WILL PROVIDE VALUABLE INSIGHT ON HOW EMPLOYERS CAN
AVOID COSTLY CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS. You won’t want to miss this one!_
“An organization’s culture is defined as how things really work
there. A culture is not healthy when it fosters or tolerates
harassment of any kind. A healthy one provides the compass for
acceptable behavior, policing itself for inappropriate or harassing
conduct from anyone at any time.” – Johnny . Taylor Jr, President
and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management.
Employers face many challenges – changing employee expectations, a
rise in bullying behaviors, off-site conduct, joking that gets out of
hand, and workplace romances gone bad. Leaders and managers need to
feel confident when these sensitive and “uncomfortable” situations
arise. With constant connection through social media/texting/email,
this also has created major exposure for organizations.
The courts expect employers to stop and correct offensive conduct. At
the very least, they must have a policy and act in good faith to
resolve issues. Immediately recognizing “red flags” and taking
complaints seriously will help absolve employers from liability.
Join us at our next Workplace Coffee Talk for a discussion on what’s
new with the #MeToo movement as well as the issues employers have long
faced, including:
*
WHAT CONSTITUTES HARASSMENT AND A “HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT”?
*
WHAT IS THE EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE LAW?
*
WHEN HARASSMENT OCCURS, WHO SHOULD INVESTIGATE?
*
HOW DO YOU BEST HANDLE CORRECTIVE ACTION IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE
INVESTIGATION?
*
HOW CAN AN EMPLOYER BE MORE PROACTIVE AND PREVENT HARASSMENT FROM
OCCURRING THE FIRST PLACE?
*
IN ADDITION TO POLICIES AND TRAINING, WHAT ARE OTHER BEST PRACTICES IN
ADDRESSING THESE SITUATIONS AND IMPROVING CULTURE?
At our next WORKPLACE COFFEE TALK, network with your peers as we
share critical (and practical) steps you can take to _immediately
diagnose your culture__ _and build a healthier and more productive
organization
7/17 – THE NEUROSCIENCE OF GOALS: WHY WE NEED THEM AND HOW TO MOVE
FROM GOAL SETTING TO GOAL ACHIEVING
Join us on July 17th at 8 am as we discuss the science of goal
achieving by creating clarity, alignment and motivation. We will
share leading research that will help you apply the science of
achieving goals to yourself and your team. As James Allen insightfully
observed: “You are today where your thoughts have brought you, you
will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
Making plans is easy, but putting a plan into action – actually
executive it – is hard. Plans alone will not get the results you
want.
There are three things required to move you and your team from goal
setting to goal achieving:
* MINDSET
* SKILLSET
* ACTIONSET
_Skillset_ is the easiest to get through training, researching or
learning from others. _Actionset _takes the will to stop
procrastinating and take small actions toward your goal. The most
difficult to master, and the one that can surely accelerate or
sabotage US, is our _Mindset_. Leaders can accelerate their
development, and the achievement of others through a deepened
awareness of their Mindset – the belief systems and emotions that
determine the quality of our leadership.
9/18 – NEW IDEAS IN PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: GOING FROM ANNUAL REVIEW
TO ONGOING FEEDBACK
We know that employees who are _highly engaged and laser
focused_ will produce _greater results_. The traditional annual
review is giving way to a more progressive approach which includes a
continuous feedback cycle.
Learn:
* How to improve employee performance through skillful _coaching
and goal-setting_ techniques.
* The _neuroscience _supporting _dumping the annual review_ and
adopt _ongoing coaching and feedback_
* Ways to provide constructive feedback and inspire employees to
reach _maximum performance potential_.
* Why we are moving away from “disciplinary action” and instead
talking about _improvement opportunities_.
* Why a progressive approach to corrective action is key to
maintaining morale while staying _legally compliant_.
