Track | Professional Development: Time Management

In today’s constant state of change, professionals who will thrive are those who are able to successfully navigate the potentially tumultuous terrain of simultaneously managing their managers and managing their teams. With a workforce experiencing elevated stress levels, increased agitation, and a strong sense of optimism about what tomorrow may bring, today’s leaders can be a major spark of inspiration, dedication, and consistency to those around them. Daily, yet strategic, conversations are a gateway into the psyche and heart of individual activity and performance, and the desired results of our conversations are determined by whether we use the right words, at the right time, in the right way, with the right people. This presentation will address five challenges that every manager will encounter and exactly how to have strategic conversations regarding each of these challenges: influence without authority; micromanagement; teamwork; internal drama; motivation. You will not only learn WHY these conversations are so effective, but you’ll also learn exactly HOW you need to phrase your conversations to maximize your results. As a manager, what you say and how you say it matters. Your conversations matter. It’s time to learn the secrets to have your conversations matter more.
