 What does it mean to manage other people? Developing self-awareness of how you show up as a manager is important to understanding what communication habits work and which ones do not.  Reflective questions we’ll address: What communication skills are you stronger in? Where do you need support? Who do you admire or look up to related to management and communication skills?

Leading others requires flexibility in responding to varying situations and difficult conversations.  Using a one size fits all approach is not effective, especially with today’s diverse workforce.  Responding flexibility takes self-awareness and self-regulation to work, connect, and engage with others that have different styles and communications than we do.  

Leading Others with Clarity and Understanding

 Often, we don’t speak clearly, and in moments of stress and stressful communication, we further exacerbate the issue at hand.  Leading others with clarity requires self-awareness of how verbal and non-verbal communication can hinder or support clarity.  Words that are clear, connected to understand what our needs are and are respectful can be helpful in ensuring others hear us.  When another person can hear us, they are more likely to understand our needs as leaders, and support open communication. The words we use or don't use, and the ways we speak or don't speak can inspire others or deflate others. 

Working with Different Personalities at Work

In this session, we explore how personality, as a construct, is often misunderstood and thought of as a fixed trait.  As humans, holding this perspective can keep us back from interacting and developing empathy for others who have different personality styles.  When we see personality as a fixed trait, it can also lead us to experiencing stress and feelings of frustration.   By understanding our default personality styles, we can also develop empathy and compassion for other personality types that are differ from ours.
