Business Management Essentials Course Descriptions
Performance Management

The key in keeping an organization and employee aligned, which improves performance and productivity, is Performance Management.
Teamwork and Team Building

Participants will be given the details and concepts of what makes up a team, and what factors into being a successful team and team member.
Meeting Management

They will learn planning and leading techniques that will give them the confidence to run a meeting that will engage the attendees and leave a positive and lasting impression. Through this workshop, participants will learn the needed skills in planning and implementing a successful meeting.
Customer Service
Learn MoreThe Customer Service workshop will look at all types of customers and how we can serve them better and improve ourselves in the process.
Leadership and Influence
Learn MoreThey say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. A simple example is parenting. When a child arrives, many parents discover leadership abilities they never knew existed in order to guide and protect their offspring.
Once you learn the techniques of true Leadership and Influence, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding.
