Leadership is all about effective and clear communications. This session will provide attendees with the strategies to become more effective as leaders. Changed leaders will move the culture of the organization into a more productive and higher-performing environment that encourages clarity, ownership, initiative, and success. In this session, attendees are given better tools to develop the people skills necessary to move their staff forward to the desired goal. This session will reference the TruTalent™ Learning & Productivity (TTL&P), a 20-minute online survey of an individual's productivity preferences and learning styles. The assessment identifies the individual’s work and learning preferences for 4 styles and 12 environmental and mindset preferences. These elements affect, positively or negatively, how each individual achieves and performs in work-based learning environments. They also affect the way in which individuals concentrate, make decisions, solve problems, process information, approach and complete tasks, retain new and complex information, develop new skills, and interact with others.

• Discover and use diverse Productivity Styles to improve team efficiency
• Increase rapport with team members to discover true sources of motivation
• Use praise as a strategic motivation tool
• Grow Emotional Intelligence skills to better manage reactions and temptations to engage in unproductive behavior
