I am pleased to tell you that Learning & Organizational Development (LOD) has opened registration in our workshops in our LODReg tool to the end of January. Please register at: https://umanitoba.gosignmeup.com/Public/Course/Browse We expect that our February offerings will open for registration early in the new year.

Some workshops that may interest you include:

Participants will explore the range of the managerial role such as identifying workstyles, communication skills, addressing challenges, relationship building, institutional supports and tools, and their role in advancing reconciliation.

A Coach-approach to Management - January 20 - This new workshop is part of the new UM Management Essentials program and can be taken as a stand-alone workshop. Coaching is a powerful tool for enhancing employee wellbeing and performance, and an increasingly important managerial skill in the rapidly changing workplace. This workshop builds a foundational understanding of coaching principles and skills. Participants will learn a coaching model; discuss how and when to integrate taking a coach-approach in their role; and practice coaching skills.

During this workshop, participants will explore the steps involved in pre-planning minutes for the meeting; keeping track of items during the meeting; transcribing notes into minutes following the meeting; distributing minutes; filing as needed; and will receive templates and examples for future use.
