Groom Talent with Workplace Tutoring

As a manager, do you have employees with great potential, but who just need a little help smoothing out their rough spots?

And you don’t have time to hand-hold their training?

Maybe the specifics they need aren’t offered by your Learning and Development team. (Heck, maybe your organization doesn’t have a Learning and Development team!)

Why do you need a Workplace Tutor?

• Perhaps you have young professional talent who just need a good overview of the basics, so they can get off to a good start.
• Well, maybe you have an employee who can’t pull a plan together, who struggles with managing to deadlines, or doesn’t handle conflict very well.
• Perhaps they can’t plan and run a meeting effectively, or they can’t follow-up afterwards. Maybe you’re always dogging them for the status of a project because they don’t understand that art of following up and staying ahead of the curve.
• Or, they might need help building a work plan, managing to deadlines, and getting focused on accomplishing priority work.
• Perhaps you know they could be more effective if they were just more organized.
• Maybe you’d like to put them in front of an executive, but you know they’re just not ready to do that because they don’t understand how to work effectively with executives.
• Maybe they don’t know how to build relationships, inspire trust, or ask for help effectively.
• Maybe their work is good, but the quality of how they present it diminishes their value.
• Perhaps they are a technical talent that needs to convey ideas in a non-technical way.
• Maybe you’d like them to improve on any host of skills without the lead time training requires.

Get the idea?

You might need a Workplace Tutor!

I help your employees understand the context of the situations in which you need them to improve, and give them specific, focused actions to take, tools and templates – and language to use – to turn those challenging situations around. Groom your talent. Improve their confidence, and yours.

The Process:     Instruction =>Application => Reflection => Correction

•  Our process allows for immediate application in the workplace.
• A guided discussion allows the employee to reflect on his/her experience, and incorporates your feedback.
• Opportunities for course correction are identified, along with the tactics for implementation.
• Your employee is taking guided, practical steps to progress on a continuous basis, using a process that can be leveraged throughout the career.

Workplace Tutoring is offered virtually, so there’s no T&E cost, unless you prefer an in person arrangement. Contact Lea McLeod to get more information and help your talent make you look good.

On-board New Talent with Developing Patterns of Success™ Workshop

Help your young professionals get up to speed faster. On-board your University Hires better with our Developing Patterns of Success™ Workshop.

• Is your college hire on-boarding program a diluted version of your general new hire program, lacking in the special content needed for new careerists?

• Are you worried that maybe you are going to great pains to hire the best new talent, but you’re not exactly sure what they need?

• Are your new hires considered “flight risks” in light of the tough competition for the best new talent?

• Do you worry about succession planning with a workforce that feels ready to rumble at any moment?

Developing Patterns of Success™ workshop addresses your college hire induction and retention challenges. More than a checklist of good ideas, do’s and don’ts, each recruit leaves with a plan for what to do, what to say, and how to engage. They’ll learn how to be accountable, and what they learn will be applicable.

They will understand how to advocate for themselves just in case your managers are not up to speed on the generational divide.

College hire on-boarding must be an essential tool in your talent management strategy.

College hires will deselect your company if they fail to receive the nurturing and support they need from the start.

• The average millennial stays with first employer for 1.5 years (Bureau of Labor Statistics)

• 64% of millennials expect to stay 2 – 5 years (Experience Survey, 2011)

• 22% leave employers within the first year (Saratoga Institute)

Think about the implications of replacing your new talent pool every 1.5 years.

College hires cite three issues in the college to work transition: Expectation gaps, lack of supervisor support and on-ramping job stress.

All contribute to departures, disruption, and replacement cost. That’s expensive in many ways. Let’s put an end to that.

Developing Patterns of Success™

Developing Patterns for Success™ allows participants to hit the ground running from Day 1. We’ll focus on what they need to be effective in your organization and how to self manage to get those important “wins” in their career start.

Your college hires will glide from the academic experience and be ready to roll for the mission at hand. They’ll know what awaits when they get into the organizational work stream. Better prepared, knowing the expectations, having the managerial support? That means more engagement with them, and commitment to you.

Your college hires will learn to:

• Create their value proposition in your organization from Day 1

• Leverage the principles of Fearless Self Leadership to form a powerful self and team persona

• Diplomatically manage the interpersonal and communication complexities of the workplace

• Practice the organizational skills not typically addressed in academics

We’ll tie together your company’s strategic line of sight at the individual, work group, and organizational levels. Curriculum is segregated into the components that will help your team succeed:

Life Transition | Self-Leadership | Team-working | Global Mindset  |  Organizational Savvy |  Strategic Perspectives
