     As thoughts turn to turkeys, cookies, and wrapping paper,
Employee Development urges you to register for workshops BEFORE the
holiday break!  Registration is currently open for two workshops; send
your registration today to be sure the workshops you are interested in
are not canceled due to lack of enrollment.

Coaching for Performance Improvement
     This workshop includes presentation of a coaching model, a brief
review of the listening skills covered in the Management
Communications class and practice incorporating feedback techniques
into performance discussions. Coaching is a vital management tool,
especially in changing environments, because it creates shared
responsibility between the manager and the employee and a joint
commitment to problem solving and skill development. Coaching
encourages employee participation and the "buy in" necessary to
achieve management and organizational goals. Participants must have
attended Management Communications: Listening class.
