Well-executed training programs can propel a company’s success forward, especially once employees apply what they learn in their actual work settings.
If your company is looking for training programs to conduct, here’s a list of the best ones to hold for 2021:
1. Better Together Virtual Team Communication & Dynamics
Communicating remotely requires us to communicate differently. Companies should start reskilling the workforce to adapt to these changes. More and more, employees should understand their own individual styles of communication to create productive relationships.
2. Perfect Pitch: Virtual Presentation Skills
Even online, employees should learn how to create good first impressions, project an impactful virtual presence, and create powerful encounters through genuine and authentic conversations.
3. Coaching from a Distance
Even online, coaching continues to be the universal language of change and learning. In fact, it’s one of the most effective learning methodologies! Leaders still have the responsibility top unlock their employees’ potential and maximize their growth.
4. Getting to Yes: Conflict Resolution, Negotiation, and Influence
No matter where you go, knowing how to persuade and influence is a skill that you’ll have to apply. In fact, there’s an art and science in knowing how to do these so you can achieve a win-win situation for both you and your clients.
5. Problem Solving & Decision Making
Critical thinking is the foundation of effective problem solving and decision making. It enables us to avoid common obstacles, test our beliefs, and correct distortions in our thought process. Even today, mastering this skill puts employees at a clear advantage over those who can’t assess problems and make decisions accurately.
6. Leadership Quotient: Emotional Intelligence
Dale Carnegie once said that “When dealing with people, let us remember that we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion.” Mastering Emotional Intelligence will allow leaders to perceive, assess, and manage their own and others’ emotions effectively.
7. Courageous Leadership: Situational & Authentic Leadership through Vulnerability
Contrary to popular belief, vulnerability is slowly being recognized as a strength and form of resilience. Employees who learn how to practice brave work, be comfortable with tough conversations, and live out their values are those who practice daring leadership. Now more than ever, leaders who can connect, empathize, and show their authentic selves at work are those who become more impactful.
8. Measuring What Matters: Performance Management Fundamentals & Feedback
A well implemented performance management system has the potential to transform an organization’s employees and propel the company to success. After all, it’s one thing to have a good system, but it’s another to have leaders who are equipped with the skills to hold effective performance management conversations.
9. Sales Agility
With so many crises and adversities challenging our economy, there’s a need to know how to sell, perform, and execute virtually successfully. Every sales performer must learn the right mindset, heartset, and skillset to achieve in the new normal.
10. Trusted Advisor: The Ultimate Advantage
Trust relationships are still vital to the way we do business today. In fact, the level of trust in business relationships, whether internal with employees or colleagues or external with clients and partners, is the greatest determinant of success.
2021 has just begun, but let’s make sure your employees are equipped and ready for anything that can happen!
