    Better Manage Your Team Through Coaching, Setting Clear Expectations, & Holding People Accountable

    Did you know that most supervisors don't get the training they need to be successful? This can be especially challenging when you're put in charge of other folks and need to manage their performance on top of doing all the things on your plate. Join us on August 6th, from 9AM - 12PM (CST) and learn how to get the results you want from your team. We'll be covering the basics of performance management, including using a coaching approach, setting clear expectations, and holding folks accountable. You'll learn practical strategies to integrate them into your daily schedule, so you automatically start improving how you and your team show up.

    We'll be using the CliftonStrengths framework to make the most of our time together. If you're not familiar with CliftonStrengths, or it's been awhile since you've used it, please upgrade your registration to the "Strengths Package," which includes a code to take the assessment as well as an extra hour of training that covers the basics of CliftonStrengths from 8AM - 9AM (CST). 

    We'd love to see you on August 6th! And remember, this isn't just a great investment for you, it also benefits your team and your students.
