Wednesday, June 12 (2PM)

​The winter cold is now behind us, and it’s almost time for sunny weather and outdoor activities. With summer temperatures on the horizon, employers should anticipate FMLA abuse. Many employers rely on inexpensive investigative tools, such as social media sites to identify FMLA abuse. But courts are making it increasingly difficult to rely on such tools to prove their employees are committing FMLA fraud. Attorney DeAndre’ Harris will provide an overview of what protections employees are entitled to under the FMLA and will provide practical guidance for preventing employees from abusing those protections.

​4 Strategies for Successfully Leading Teams in High Pressure Situations (ON DEMAND)​
​Many people claim “teamwork” as a skill on resumes and in interviews. It sounds great, but what does it actually mean in practical terms? How can you really influence that skill to solve tough challenges in your business?

Eve Ash will share the challenges she and her team faced whilst exposing a wrongful conviction, at the same time filming it as a true crime TV series. She will use those experiences to provide you with four core strategies to transform how you communicate with your team under high pressure situations, and how to achieve success.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

How to build confidence within your team
The best ways to embrace change
Communicate like a champion with your team
Achieve your team’s business goals
​Where's The Love? Building Trust with Your Team ​(ON DEMAND)​
​Higher levels of trust can reduce conflict and stress, but trust is seen as a “nice-to-have” in the workplace. When trust is lacking, productivity can be reduced, quality may be affected, and turnover is heightened. That makes trust a business imperative if we want high performance and much more. In this practical and hopeful webinar, leadership expert and author Kevin Eikenberry will help you better understand the components of trust. Far more importantly, he’ll help you develop it with your co-workers and team members to build it across an entire team.
Join us for this practical, timely discussion and application of this critical business issue.
At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
  • Describe three reasons why trust is foundational to a highly successful team
  • Understand the role the “trust thermostat” plays in the level of trust you have with others
  • Describe the four components of trust
  • Identify at least four ways you can build trust with others or across your team
​How to Master Difficult Conversations at Work ​(ON DEMAND)
​Above and beyond how much money you earn, how successful you are, and even your health, the biggest predictor of your happiness is the quality of your relationships. And while other people can make life worth living, boy, can they also make it difficult. Especially at work. Since we spend most of our waking hours in the office, it’s critical for our well-being to have healthy relationships. Otherwise, we come home complaining, grumpy, and replaying those confusing or even confrontational conversations over and over again. Not fun. We know from research that having just one good friend at work can increase our engagement by seven times! People really matter – not just for our happiness, but also for our productivity.
If you find yourself having frustrating conversations, or the same conversation over and over again without making progress, this is for you. Or if you’ve found yourself stuck in a passive-aggressive exchange, this webinar will get you unstuck. If you are in a situation you want to change, but you don’t know what to say or how to start, you’ll learn how in this session.
In this session you’ll learn how to:
  • Speak up for yourself kindly, peacefully, and confidently even if you’re non-confrontational
  • Stand in your power instead of acting out guilt, obligation, or fear
  • Avoid taking things personally and see the bigger picture
  • Script out exactly what you want to say so you can feel comfortable and clear
  • Learn how to reach a resolution where you thought there was none
​Successfully Working From Home ​(ON DEMAND)
​More and more people are working away from the office, sometimes full-time, sometimes just one or two days a week. While there are benefits to this, it’s putting a strain on organizations and managers and individual workers. Join us for this engaging webcast with Wayne Turmel, co-founder of the Remote Leadership Institute, and co-author of “The Long-Distance Leader: Rules for Remarkable Remote Leadership."
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
  • How working remotely is different—or not
  • Three questions to do great remote work
    • Do people know what they should be doing?
    • Are they doing it?
    • How do they know?
  • Being a good virtual teammate
  • The importance of creating an explicit communication plan for remote and hybrid teams
  • How managers can make or break the working from home experience
