Front line managers never know what new challenges each day will bring. Their days are busy and unpredictable. They hire, orient new employees, coach, and manage performance. In their high-speed work environments, they only have time for training that is fast and targeted.

The Instant Expert Manager Series includes six modules. Each 90- minute session delivers how to’s, powerful actions, and a key skill to coach and engage employees from recruitment to retirement. When managers understand and address employee needs at each phase of the employee cycle, the result is performance and engagement.

The 90 Minute Skill Building Process:
Can busy people learn a new skill in 90 minutes? The answer is “Yes”, if some important learning principles are in place. Some training courses depend too much on cognitive learning – acquiring knowledge – using only lectures and slide presentations. This type of learning requires participants to passively absorb and retain large amounts of content. In order to build skill, participants need opportunities to connect with the content and apply it to their work – less passive listening, more application and practice.

Target Audience:

Team Leads, Supervisors, Managers and Directors
