She’ll explain why management training is a crucial element to success as your newly promoted managers transition to roles that require new, and frequently unfamiliar, skills and competencies.
Key takeaways:

What are the obligations of managers? The answer to this question varies from organization to organization based upon a number of factors such as industry, culture, department, skill level of the team, etc. Regardless of the organization, at the very heart of this question lies a dilemma.
Managers may have to perform well, depending upon a variety of situations at various places along a continuum, ranging from ensuring employees comply with established processes and procedures at one end, to career development and skill improvement towards the other end. Who’s to say which of the outcomes is more or less important?
In fact, we’d probably agree that the outcomes suggested by such a continuum are all important depending upon the situation. With so many possible outcomes and objectives legitimately competing for our managers’ attention, are there a set of uniform skills or competencies we can use to guide our managers ongoing training and development?
In this webinar you’ll learn:
Why coaching skills are important for your managers, leaders and organization
What is coaching and how to apply key skills to align with specific employees and situations
An overview of traditional coaching models and what you can do to improve them
How we can get managers to make time to coach

Best Practices for Developing Your Emerging LeadersBizLibrary
Many organizations are facing a potentially disastrous drain on top talent as an increasing number of employees approach retirement. Unfortunately, most employers don’t have strategic-level initiatives in place to capture and retain the knowledge that's about to leave, and they don't have replacement talent ready to step into leadership as these roles open up.
Employers also feel they can't engage and retain early career talent long enough to fill leadership roles…but what if you approached the whole challenge a little bit differently? What if you looked at creative ways to tap into the vast talent pool of our emerging leaders today, and not wait until we promote them into designated leadership positions?
In this webinar you'll learn:
5 ways to unlock the hidden value in your emerging leaders
The business impact of investing in your current talent

After all, we promote people because we see them having the potential to succeed in their next role.

Microaggressions what are they and how can i avoid using themBizLibrary
Is that your real hair? Can I touch it?" "Where are you actually from?" "You’re so articulate!”
Do any of these sound familiar to you? Maybe you’ve had a few co-workers repeat some of these questions or phrases to you or maybe you yourself have asked a few coworkers some of these questions, not knowing you've probably just offended that person with what is commonly known as a microaggression. There are racial-, gender- and identity-based microaggressions, as well as others that can be found in today’s workplaces.
As more and more organizations continue to take a public and bold stance against racism, it’s important that they practice what they preach. During this session, you will learn how to identify what microaggressions are, and more importantly, how you can upgrade your old vocabulary to one that’s inclusive and appropriate for the modern workforce.
This session's key learning objectives include:
Understanding the need and benefit of embracing an anti-racist relationship with your fellow coworkers
Understanding the difference between microaggressions and macroaggressions, as well as the three most common types of microaggressions found in today’s workforce: racial-based, gender-based, and identity-based microaggressions

Addressing Mental Health in the WorkplaceBizLibrary
Let’s face it: Work can be stressful. In fact, the Attitudes in the American Workplace VII report found that 80% of workers feel stress on the job, and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress. Although the conversation around mental health is becoming less stigmatized, it’s still a difficult topic to discuss in the workplace. In addition to the red tape and legal concerns, leaders may not feel comfortable advising others because they, themselves, are also grappling with mental health concerns.
This complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary, will empower human resources (HR) and learning and development (L&D) professionals to effectively and ethically address and support employees’ mental health and well-being on an individual and organizational scale.
This interactive webinar will provide actionable insights on:
The main causes and negative effects of stress at work.
Strategies for how HR and L&D can stop the stigma around discussing mental health.
Techniques for managing stress and anxiety.
How to Develop Agility Within Your Training Program to Help Your Learners Suc...BizLibrary
It is time to adapt your training programs. We are all talking about adapting learning in the face of disruption, but have you done it? We know these last few months have not been easy for anyone — and there’s probably not a lot of room left on your plate. However, this is the perfect time to transition your in-person training (ILT) courses to an online, or blended, format. Why? A PRNewswire study found that 66% of employees are working remotely right now. And, according to a study by The Grossman Group, over half of employees want to continue working from home after the pandemic. You must keep your learners engaged to ensure your virtual, or blended, training programs are successful.
Join us for this complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary. Your host, Tom Braning, Product and Solutions Expert at BizLibrary, will break down the steps of transitioning your ILT program to a blended or virtual format seamlessly.

7 Steps to Create a Competency-Based Training ProgramBizLibrary
Employee training is fluid, dynamic, and complex – which is why competency-based training is a more important strategic component of today’s employee learning strategies. Competency-based training links individual performance to the goals of the organization. A defined set of competencies for each role in your organization illustrates the behaviors, reinforces organization values, and provides the strategic direction employees need to achieve organizational objectives.
How Training Managers Can Use Self-Development to Improve Their ProgramsBizLibrary
As a training program manager, you spend so much time and energy developing others that focusing on your own self-development may feel less important, but it’s not! In fact, the more a program manager invests in their own skills, the more impact they can have on an organization. Join Director of Talent Development & Culture at BizLibrary, Libby Mullen, for an interactive discussion on self-development, and why it is imperative for a training program manager to find the balance between their own self-development and developing their workforce, to achieve a program with maximum engagement and higher ROI.
In this webcast, you’ll learn about:
Seven competencies of a program managers’ personal development
How to align your own goals and metrics to your company’s goals for improved results
A framework to gain respect and buy-in from leadership for your training program
How to Prepare Your Organization for a Safe Re-Entry During COVID-19BizLibrary
As organizations contemplate options for re-entry, a lot of questions emerge. How can everyone remain safe? What if someone gets sick? When is the right time to go back? Should we even re-open the office? With companies like Twitter and Google opting for their employees to remain home for an extended period of time or even indefinitely, it can be hard to know what’s best for your organization.
While there is not a simple answer to these questions, during the webinar, Director of Learning Culture and Talent Development at BizLibrary, Libby Mullen, is going to explain one thing that all organizations must do to make this transition as smooth as possible. Organizations must consider both employees’ physical and mental health and safety when creating their plan for a successful re-entry into the workplace.
Join Libby as she discusses these important topics and more during the webinar!
· How to prepare for re-entry before anyone steps foot into the office
· Why employees’ mental health must be taken as seriously as physical health during this time of uncertainty
· Guidelines and precautions from the CDC on how to safely return to work
· Assessments to uncover what is the right move for your organization

The High EQ Leader: How Emotional Intelligence Can Impact Your OrganizationBizLibrary
A few years ago, feeling and showing emotions could be signs of a weak leader. But in recent years, and especially in the wake of a worldwide crisis, being able to connect to one’s emotions and the emotions of others is one of the greatest predictors of success for leaders and their organizations. Leaders who continually develop their emotional intelligence (EQ) are able to better navigate themselves and their teams through challenging situations like having difficult conversations, layoffs, low employee engagement, high turnover, and more.
Join us for this complimentary webinar, and we’ll help you get started with a development plan for your leaders, managers, and key employees to help improve EQ across your organization, proving that understanding emotions is the key to long-term leadership and organizational growth.

How to create an EQ development plan for your entire organization
Horizontal vs Vertical Career Pathing: How to Make Promotions WorkBizLibrary
Receiving a promotion is the epitome of an employee’s growth and success, but many companies are misusing promotions. As high performers reach their peak, they’re being promoted to managers solely based on performance. This type of career pathing is creating a domino effect in companies. The newly promoted managers often do not have the skillset to manage, therefore their employees become disengaged and your bottom line starts suffering more and more.
