The 5 Elements of Promotability (and How to Perfect Them)
To retain top teams that deliver results and cultivate healthy workplace cultures, employees need to believe there is a career path for them. Understanding where they sit on the Promotability Index and where they can refine their professional skills can inspire high performance. Developing the skills that are highly sought after and valued across any company leads to an engaged and motivated workforce.
Former Fortune Global 50 exec and coach Amii Barnard-Bahn will walk your team through the five key elements of promotability possessed by corporate leaders – and sought out by management teams when deciding who to promote and invest in as leaders. When your employees possess these skills it means they and your organization at the top of your game -- and that gives everyone something to strive for.
Attendees will learn how to:
-
Discover how they are currently perceived from a promotability lens
-
Assess their unique strengths and opportunities
-
Create an action plan with concrete next steps to advance their career and those of their team
The Art and Skill
of Delivering Bad News
and Reducing Risk*
Every one of us has to deliver tough news sometimes, and we all know it’s easier to do when we’ve built up enough political capital. But what if you haven’t built those trusted relationships or are in a new role that requires you to be the de facto bearer of bad news? Join Amii Barnard-Bahn, workplace culture expert and executive coach, for a fascinating and practical discussion that will help anyone learn to share difficult messages without damaging political capital.
Attendees will learn how to:
-
Overcome the human tendency to dislike and distrust bad news messengers
-
Effectively prepare to deliver the news in a way that preserves and builds trusted relationships
-
Maintain the sense of urgency and action required to respond to crisis and lead change
