Johanna and Esther Announce a Management Workshop

Johanna and Esther are pleased to announce their first management workshop: Behind Closed Doors: Managing One-on-One. It will be held July 10-12, 2006 in Minneapolis. Interested? Here's the flyer (PDF).

This is a workshop for managers, project managers, and technical leads. Here's what we'll be exploring and practicing in the workshop:

• How people really take in information and where things can go wrong, how to recognize when an interaction is off track, and what to do about it.
  
• How to actively listen to what someone else is saying.
  
• How to give--and receive--effective feedback.
  
• How and when to coach and mentor.
  
• What issues to address in career development and how to address them.
  
• How to build trust with each person in your group.
  
• How to have effective one-on-one meetings.
  

If you ever work with people in a managerial capacity (whether you're called a manager or not :-), this workshop is for you. Email either of us if you have questions.
