Time Out! Have you ever wondered why some people get so much done and why you may be struggling to cross one thing off your to-do list? Time management is a critical driver of success and accomplishment. When you look at time as something you need, you will use it as something you value. However if you let time “happen,” it too will pass you by leaving you with a question of “what happened?” The 10Ts of Time Management covers ten effective principles to help organizations increase workforce productivity and individuals to increase their ability to get things done. In this workshop, Mobray offers the philosophy that if you can convert passive time to active value, you will develop habits that give you more energy and create greater outcomes.

In today’s fast paced environment organizations are looking to get the most out of their people while providing a challenging environment that promotes growth, mobility, and learning. All too often however, leaders and employees see a drop in their productivity because of the nature of how work gets done and the need to “put out fires” in being responsive to complete multiple tasks. When leaders create a culture that rewards new ideas and fresh approaches to problem solving, they create “signature moments” that elevate the performance of their teams and increase employee satisfaction. This workshop is designed to help professionals increase the time and processes that drive innovation and growth in meeting strategic business objectives. Highly interactive, the workshop incorporates brainstorming exercises, benchmarking and improvisation techniques to help attendees bring innovation to their roles and unexpected value to their clients.

As leaders and organizations continue to work together to build a more inclusive workplace and high- performance culture, understanding the impact of microaggressions, communicating inclusively, and recognizing unconscious bias will be key to driving sustainable and transformative change. All around the world and in U.S. workplaces people are engaging in real conversations about race, justice, diversity, equality, and inclusion and how to build high- performing teams.

These courageous conversations are paving the way for meaningful anti-racist action from both individuals and organizations. So what are microaggressions? And how do you address them in the workplace?

When we address microaggressions we learn something new about ourselves and new ways to show respect in our actions and behaviors towards others. We become change agent leaders to harness the true power of inclusion driving transformational change and
growth in our organizations.

Unfortunately, in today’s volatile economic climate no job is ever 100% secure. Layoffs, Right-sizing, Downsizing, Reductions in Force (RIFs) have become standard operating procedure for many companies. It is inevitable that at some point in your career you will be introduced to the word or experience called “layoffs”. And it often
doesn’t matter how good you are at your job; how hard you work or even if you were
just promoted. When layoffs hit, often the difference between who stays and who
goes comes down to two critical factors in one’s career journey.

1. How well have you navigated your
   organizations political landscape?
2. The strength of your network to insulate
   you with opportunities or endorsement when
   times get tough?

Over 60% of employees who rate their job performance as “favorable” rate the
strength of their network as “poor”. This means that even if you are doing a great
job. If you are not connected to sources that will advocate for you when you are not in
the room, you become more susceptible to layoffs when downsizing occurs.
This workshop teaches you how to build a strategic network within your organization
and how to use this leadership skill to navigate the political landscape to advance your career and build your brand. Participants leave with a powerful navigation tool to optimize the relationship quality of their connections with team members, clients and stakeholders and learn tools to expand their value across the enterprise.

When you master your network as you increase your technical capabilities you typically grow your business, increase your tenure in your role, advance faster in your
organization, survive job cuts, get promoted to higher level positions and enjoy more career success.

Hailed as a life-changing session. This presentation will radically transform how you manage your interactions, work performance and relationships to become more savvy in navigating the politics of success.
