Building a Culture of Trust- the Cornerstone of Winning Teams!

Presented by Richard Fagerlin of Peak Solutions.

Pre-approved for HRCI and SHRM credits.

Trustology is not something to be learned but rather a mindset to be gained. Shifting your mind from what you know and have experienced over an entire lifetime is not easy. Trust issues are wasting productivity, ruining relationships and damaging business.

If your teams and your organization are not flourishing in a high-trust culture you are experiencing one of the greatest examples of “re-work” and creating an environment for politics and offense to thrive and multiply.

With the concepts and teachings of Trustology we will challenge conventional wisdom and leave participants with a new way to explore, experience and engage in trust.

Specifically we will discuss: •Impact of High and Low Trust •Discuss the top trust lies people affecting you and your organization. •Help you understand a simple three-part model for measuring, monitoring and managing trust that you can use immediately back in the office. •Discuss why the trust gap exists and what you can personally do about it.

Virtual Leadership: Calibrate, Collaborate, and Celebrate

Virtual Leadership: Calibrate, Collaborate, and Celebrate

Presented by Cynthia Clay

Pre-approved for HRCI and SHRM credits.

As organizations increasingly require their managers to lead remote teams and individuals, effective leadership has never been more challenging. How do you build rapport and relationships, hold people accountable, and assess performance when you rarely see some of the people you manage face-to-face? How you do bridge that virtual distance to have a positive impact on your team? In a recent study, 46% of companies said that “leadership” was the skill hardest to find in employees. Other research reveals that only 4 out of 10 employees are highly engaged in their work; but in companies where leaders and managers are perceived by employees as effective, that percentage increases to 72% being highly engaged. Managers and leaders who are able to get results across geographic distance are increasingly prized in the virtual workplace. Join Cynthia Clay to explore the techniques that support powerful virtual leadership. See how the C3 model increases the leader’s ability to calibrate the team’s work, increase collaboration, and celebrate results. Learn how the new Virtual Leader™ program can positively impact the skills and confidence of your leaders.
