Akron leadership course builds strength skills
Akron area businesses that could use stronger leaders may want to consider a new course offered this fall.
“Managing with Strength” is a workshop session designed to give business leaders the tools they need to get the best performance out of their employees. The course outline says participants will be taught how “to manage effectively, efficiently and with confidence.”
The course is split up into four parts:
October 6 - Session One: Leading with your strengths
October 20 - Session Two: Employee Engagement: Know What It Takes
November 3 - Session Three: Coaching Works
November 17 - Session Four: Giving Honest and Clear Feedback
The course is delivered by leadership development expert Cindy Biggs of C. Biggs and Associates.
Biggs is a certified mentor, trainer and coach, and is the executive coach for The Ohio State University- ATI- Department of Business Training and Educational Services.
The course is one of the many training and development modules offered through the Greater Akron Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has been an ongoing resource to businesses in Medina, Summit, and Portage counties since 1907.
Members of the Greater Akron Chamber get a discount on the course. The regular fee for non-members is $850, while members can sign up for a discounted fee of $699.
Courses such as this one can use local print shops for manuals, visual aids, and learning materials.
All four courses run from 8:00 am to noon. Locations will be in Akron but are yet to be determined.
