Course Overview

  • Improve Team Productivity
  • Get Stronger Wider Buy-In To Initiatives
  • Boost Employee Satisfaction and Retention

These fundamental skills help new managers grow into strong business leaders.

About Combined Training and Coaching

Seminars can do the trick for networking and team building, but for retained and applied learning nothing beats intense training bursts followed by a period of personal reinforcement.

Content variety and repetition not only helps facilitate a variety of learning styles, it helps all learning styles retain and apply more.
