Foundational Leadership Certificate

Leading others effectively means moving from a one size fits all (‘this is my leadership style’) approach to providing direction, motivation, and development in a way that aligns with each individual. The happiest, most successful, most confident managers and leaders notice the needs of their employees and flex their leadership style accordingly. That may seem daunting, but these are important skills that you will develop with this course.

This program empowers you to consider your approach to teamwork, shape new, more productive behaviors to increase productivity, and bring the language needed for good teamwork to the teams you are on and the teams you lead.  It will completely redefine what it means to work together to build a culture of teamwork.

Workplace conflict is inevitable.  It may not be visible but you’ve no-doubt experienced it.  It might be a feeling you have with a colleague, or some tension with a peer or someone whose role you have to interface with.  Perhaps you feel like someone has conflict with you but they’re not acknowledging it and you don’t know how to raise it — and it’s becoming a problem. This workshop helps you effectively respond to the uncomfortable and unavoidable challenges of workplace conflict.

Do you find you react or respond on instinct a lot of the time? For example, when a challenge arises or a problem erupts, when an employee comes to you with this type of issue or that type of issue do you tend to react the same way each time.  Do some things “push your buttons?” Do others take the energy right out of you? Agile leaders use emotional intelligence to adapt how they respond to situations they are facing. You’ll learn how to do that in this workshop.
