Suddenly in Charge® – Virtually!

Ask managers what they dislike most about their jobs and the majority will say, dealing with problem employees. Problem employees are a fact of life so the sooner you learn how to deal with them, the easier your job will be.

But wait, you may be thinking that if I do what you say, hire right, I’m not going to have to worry about this.

Over time, people and circumstances change. Consider people you know, who have gone through life-changing events.

For example, can you think of someone who’s personality shifted dramatically as they were caring for an aging parent or while they were going through a divorce?

Or what about an employee who seemed to be the perfect employee, until his salary was frozen?

It’s best to be prepared for anything and everything. The worst that can happen is that you will never need these skills.

But like a fire drill, isn’t it best to know where all the emergency exits are located, even if it’s only one time that you need to use this information?

Here’s what I see happening all the time. Managers (or anyone else for that matter) don’t like conflict so they do everything they can think of to avoid dealing with the situation.

Most of the time, doing nothing is the worst thing you can do as workplace situations get worse when left unattended.

Make sure your managers are skilled at holding difficult conversations, as this part of their job isn’t going away any time soon.

Dealing with a difficult employee is one of biggest challenges for managers. Now imagine being a first-time leader, who is now suddenly forced to manage this situation virtually!

Leaders choosing to ignore tough conversations until life gets back to normal will find that this is a huge mistake.

Of course, they’ll discover this after the situation has come back to bite them as well as the organization. You can prevent that from happening to you. Here’s how:

I've been giving considerable thought as to how I can make a difference in people's lives during the pandemic and have decided to offer a new group coaching program that will significantly impact people's lives and be accessible to all.

Leaders are doing their best to keep their companies afloat, while working virtually. They’re doing this while homeschooling kids, meal prepping to ensure the troops stay fueled, and checking in on aging parents.

 I can’t think of a more challenging time. Can you?

Now imagine, what it must feel like to be a new leader, who is suddenly in charge of a virtual team, with limited support in place. Talk about stress!!!

I'm here to help.

I’m launching a 90-day group coaching program for new leaders, who are suddenly in charge of a managing a virtual workforce.

Your supervisors and managers will have direct coaching access to me for the next 90-days via live virtual Q & A sessions.

Having a trusted resource, they can ask questions of, will free you up as a leader to work on the critical matters on hand.

Your people can join my public offering (see below) or if you prefer, we can set up a private group for your company, on a date and time that is mutually convenient.

How this brand-new program will work:

  • We’ll meet on Thursdays, at 11:00 AM ET, bi-weekly, for 45-minutes of group live laser coaching, for the next 90 days. We’ll begin as soon as we have six participants, as we need that number for group interaction to be most effective.
  • I will suggest ideas and share best practices for participants, to help people lead more powerfully and confidently through this crisis and beyond. 
  • We’ll meet via Zoom video conferencing to provide virtual interaction with me and other group members.
  • Participants can ask questions around mindset, leadership, managing up, managing down, and across the organization during these unprecedented times. Simply email questions 24 hours in advance, so I can prepare a thoughtful response.
  • A recording will be provided, so if participants can’t attend a session, they can listen at their leisure.
  • I want to help you get through this crisis and am pricing this program so it’s affordable for everyone. Only $595 per participant. To enroll, click on the Submit button.
