Five Management Superpowers 2 Business Management and Organization credits
“Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could." - Steve Jobs. We will discuss five key management strategies and skills that every successful manager has. We walk through the A-to-Z of effective management from the standpoint of self, team, and individuals. It is not enough to be a ‘good’ manager and excel in our field, we need to be more than the subject matter expert. The five management superpowers will bolster management skills for better leaders and is a proven path for those who desire to ascend the ranks to higher leadership. Leadership is a skill that can be learned, and you can learn how.

Accepting Perfectionists: Understanding & Adapting 2 Business Management and Organization credits
You may know people who believe, “Good, is never good enough.” They are sharp, driven, push themselves, have lofty standards, and may focus on the negative. They wear themselves out and others as well. Could they be a perfectionist? Perhaps we have some of these tendencies? We will discuss perfectionists from several perspectives and how to harness their skills to enhance results. Perfectionism is a mindset, not a disease. We will review actions to take so that perfectionists may learn how to transform their behaviors. Based on research and proven methods, we will discuss tactics that may help. If you know at least one perfectionist, this session will significantly help you and them.

Why You Should Be a Learnaholic: Staying Ahead! 2 Personal Development credits
Successful people do know one secret that keeps them on top? The answer is - they are lifelong learners. It is a mindset and a way of life that they learned to utilize. You did not miss out, those not born with this ability have hope. This course provides quantifiable research to support that learn-aholics (or lifetime learners) are clearly more successful, as well as practical actions on how you can stop being left behind and start getting ahead by adopting the habits and mindset of a lifelong learner. The crux is to expand your mind and expand your possibilities. This is the recipe for success you don’t want to miss!

Advancing Your Role as a Business Leader 2 Business Management and Organization credits
Knowing the numbers is a valued skill, but not nearly enough to make you a real business leader. True leaders put in the work and make sacrifices for others. Leadership is a learned skill, a skill that must be practiced. It may look simple, and it is – only if you know what to do and how to do it. Leadership requires one to develop a greater understanding of intangibles that are difficult to quantify – but are priceless. The best leaders care about others, are trustworthy and are credible. We will discuss proven tactics to enhance those skills. Worthy for those who want to become even more valuable as a business leader.
