The Power of Coaching: The lack of employee engagement is a billion-dollar problem. It costs billions of dollars worldwide in lost productivity and employee turnover. We know that one of the main drivers of an employee’s engagement in an organization is their manager. As a manager, if you can coach as part of your day-to-day interactions to improve your ability to engage your team, you can make a big impact. In this interactive workshop, we will cover some basics so you can bring out the best in YOU and your TEAM.

Our third event in The Power of ( ) series focuses on one method to tackle the billion dollar problem of increasing employee engagement, which leads to loss of productivity and increase in turnover. One of the main drivers of engagement in the workplace is their direct support, so being able to embed coaching into the day-to-day interactions will provide a huge impact to a more productive team.

This interactive workshop will produce tools and advice for how to bring out the best in both you AND your employees with focus on:

• Coaches vs Mentors: What are the differences in tools and approaches?

Negotiation is the most important tool in a woman’s toolbox, professionally and personally. Your career success depends on your ability to negotiate for yourself and your organization. Negotiating a job offer is the most important conversation to the success of your career, yet only 12.5% of women negotiate salary when offered a job. When they do negotiate, many ask for and expect 30% less than men. Under-earning in any job is a recipe for discontent.
