Individual Contributor to Leader Workshop
Too often, individuals are promoted to supervisory, or management roles based on
technical experience without an investment in developing their management skills.
This workshop supports the transition from an individual contributor to a
manager and provides skills to enhance communication, provide feedback, delegate
tasks and prioritize responsibilities on a larger scale.
Upcoming Offering: June 10鈥�11, 2025, 9 a.m.鈥�12 p.m.
NOTE: We ask that organizations send up to two individuals to this workshop. If your organization is interested in having more individuals participate, we can work with you to create a customized solution to meet your needs and goals.
