SUMMARY:Influencing Without Authority: Leadership as an Individual Contributor
DESCRIPTION:Author and CEO coach Kim Scott says that there are two types of star employees: “superstars” and “rockstars.” While superstars are gunning for promotions\, rockstars are grounding themselves as experts in their roles. According to recent research\, most individual contributors (62%) plan to stay in IC roles over becoming a manager. How can ICs take ownership of their career growth\, leverage their knowledge and skills\, and make an impact without climbing the ladder? In this workshop we’ll dive into the leadership skills all “rockstars” need to become influential contributors:  building trusting workplace relationships\, managing up\, carving out a niche area of expertise\, and connecting the dots from your role to the organizational mission. \nAttendees will: \n\nGain insight into their unique position of influence within the organization.\nExplore the leadership skills of relationship building\, managing up\, honing expertise\, and aligning work to the organizational mission.\nIdentify one skill they want to strategically focus on for the next month

SUMMARY:People Leader Forum: Talent Insight process - Uncovering potential\, planning for the future!
DESCRIPTION:The People Leaders Forum is a monthly opportunity for people managers to connect with one another to develop leadership skills\, build community\, share best practices\, swap strategies for navigating current challenges and learn to better support themselves and their teams. \n\nApril 24: Talent Insight process – Uncovering potential\, planning for the future! In this session we will introduce you to the Talent Insight process that helps departments put the right people in the right roles at the right time. This process is supported by the Organization Development team and guided by thoughtful planning\, collaborative strategy\, and a strong culture of development. The four-stage cycle: Assess\, Develop\, Implement\, & Review provides a framework for departments to create a 1–3 year plan tailored to their evolving talent and workforce needs.\nMay 29: Coaching and feedback to grow Social and Emotional skills: In this PLF\, we explore how to provide meaningful\, actionable feedback that supports the development of social-emotional skills. Many managers find it challenging to guide growth in areas like building positive relationships\, navigating emotions\, and strengthening emotional awareness. This session challenges the belief that these skills are fixed\, showing instead that they can be learned and developed over time. Through practical tools\, real-world scenarios\, and concrete strategies\, managers will build confidence in coaching and giving feedback that helps individuals grow.\nJune 26:  Supporting Employees Navigate Change & Transition:  In this session\, Oscar Lara will explore the human response to change and stages within the transition process\, and provide managers with strategies to support employees to successfully navigate through personal and professional changes.\nJuly 31: TBD\nAugust:  Coaching Employees to Success\nSept 25: Recruitment Tips and the use of AI\nOctober 30:  Managing Peers\nDecember:  TBD\n\n
