Series of seven online courses and webinars

January – March, 2022

"Promoting from within" is the most effective way to fill critical job vacancies, retain valuable workers and build an energetic, motivated workforce. That is especially true at times of severe labour shortage, such as we are experiencing now.

The Leadership Essentials Series provides a collection of seven training topics chosen to prepare workers for career advancement. The series includes two online courses to create a customer-centric service culture and establish effective on-the-job coaching, plus five webinars providing guidance on developing authentic leadership, making the transition from peer to boss, creating psychologically safe work teams, building an inclusive work culture, and understanding communication, stress management and leadership.

Take all seven components, or choose the ones most suited to your business.
