Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:00:19 GMT

Training for the small business community

Individuals interested in self-employment or involved in operating a small business may find the following programs of interest. There is no charge for the training but registration is required. Please call (228) 475-3341 or (228) 875-3227 to reserve your seat.

Entrepreneurship - Is it for me?

June 18, 2010

July 23, 2010

September 24, 2010

2 pm until 4 pm

No charge

In this program, participants will examine the pros and cons of self-employment, competencies indicative of success, typical challenges and expectations of lenders. As corporate America downsizes, many entertain the prospect of self-employment and view it as a solution to the employment situation. The facts indicate that a large number of start-up businesses will not make it to their first anniversary so it is suggested that decisions of self-employment be done with careful consideration and considerable research. Attend this program to get information about owning your own business so that you are better informed in making the self-employment decision.

10/1/2010 - Supervising Difficult Employees

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:28:01 GMT

VIP!!

Senior leadership is highly encouraged to attend with their team. Managers, Supervisors, Senior Leadership,

This is a high impact “skill building” program designed to facilitate

organizational change.

Who should attend:

Business Owners.

Supervising “Difficult” employees soaks up organizational energy, time, and money!

Now that you are “In Charge” it’s your responsibility to deal with those inappropriate employee behaviors and poor performance

issues you “gritted your teeth about” when “THEY” were your coworkers and YES, everybody is watching you. Trouble is, when

you were promoted from the “front line” to a position of leadership no one taught you the critical management skills required

to supervise difficult employees in today’s complex workplace. Frequently managers literally “suffer in silence” an entire career

without learning the essential skills required to take charge, supervise difficult employees and improve staff performance.

This program defines concrete management skills and behavioral principles

that will improve your ability to confront, control and “harness” harmful

employee behaviors and improve staff performance.
