Culture Rise - January 23rd

Foundational Manager Series with eLearning (Live Online) Now includes 6 Virtual Workshops, virtual group coaching sessions & supplementary, self-paced eLearning Modules.   The role of the manager in today’s uncertain and quickly changing workplace has shifted dramatically. They need to do more to meet the needs and expectations of their talented, independent and, in many cases, remote workforce. They must serve as coach and mentor, be accessible and remain communicative. Their responsibilities are larger than assuring the work is performed; they have to ensure that workers are content as well. The level of responsibility and accountability placed on managers is greater today than it has ever been which is why your managers need training and support now more than ever.  MEA’s Foundational Manager Series supports your managers with meeting the ever-changing demands of their roles.  Through our blended learning approach, participants learn the critical management skills they need to succeed.  The skills are first introduced in our instructor-led workshops and then supplemented and reinforced through the Group Coaching sessions and eLearning courses.  With the Group Coaching sessions  participants are given the opportunity to reflect upon what they’ve learned to date, discuss what they’ve been able to apply and explore any roadblocks all in the safety of a confidential session led by an ICF Certified Coach.  This blended approach includes all the elements necessary for maximum learning and application of new and necessary skills.  Managers, supervisors and team leads will have a chance to explore six critical topics for their development.
