Creating a Motivating Environment: 2-Part Webinar (6/27 and 6/28/18)

IMPORTANT: This is a 2-part webinar that meets Wednesday, June 27 AND Thursday, June 28 from 2:00-3:30 PM, EDT. You must attend both sessions.

So often we hear comments like, “How can I motivate her?” or “I don’t know what to do to motivate him.”

And yet it’s really quite clear that we can’t motivate someone else. Sustainable motivation comes from within. We recognize that, of course, but sometimes we just want to help it along!

Well, there’s good news!  There are ways to help create a motivating environment to promote that self-motivation we wish everyone had.

In the first session of this 2-part series, we’ll talk about what motivation is and what it isn’t. We’ll brainstorm together to create a list of ways you can help create a motivating environment. We’ll discover the power in praise, and how to use it effectively. Ah...a motivating environment ~ isn’t that what we all want in our workplaces?

Session 2 will teach us tips on effective coaching and counseling that will help reduce the need for reprimands – whew! What a relief!  You’ll know when to use which technique, why it’s important to consider the differences, and why supervisors tend to avoid these vital areas of effective management. You’ll also be given tools that will help you deal with the dreaded case of the necessary reprimand – and you’ll leave the workshop feeling more confident in your ability to handle it well. It’s an area most of us would rather forget – but if you’re a supervisor, it’s not likely you’ll get off scot-free. Why not feel in control when handling these necessary parts of your job? And guess what? Handling these areas well is part of creating that motivating environment!!
