Management Training
In addition to offering a comprehensive suite of management training programs including the Expedition Series for Managers, People First Productivity Solutions also consults with organizations to maximize the effectiveness of the management team. Services include:
- Shadowing managers to assess style, team and customer interaction, time management, core skills, strengths, and opportunities for development. Coaching plans are developed to help managers attain peak performance.
- Shadow consulting to help senior managers who struggle with credibility or are in the process of reinventing themselves. People First consultants work with these managers on communication strategies, decision making, planning effective meetings, developing a vision and gaining buy in, building teams, and gaining support through collaboration.
- Coaching management teams or coaching managers one-on-one for skills development in conjunction with People First training. For example, managers using the Selecting Top Talent process for the first time may benefit from a consultant sitting in on interviews.
- Working with the management team to align sales productivity drivers and communicate about goal setting, commission plan changes, new products and sales initiatives, and other sensitive subjects.
- Leading managers in an interim capacity when key positions are open. Because our consultants have experience in these roles, they bring instant credibility and ability to lead sales organizations.
- Training of training managers in adult learning principles, facilitation skills, instructional design and leading change through training. Many People First training programs have optional support materials and train-the-trainer sessions available.

“I've worked with Deb more than once and the programs she provides are unparalled when it comes to in-depth knowledge about sales organizations and how they should operate. Deb has helped our organization increase our bottomline by introducing new techniques and expectations and accountabilities. Her training helped position the management team to change the culture into a true sales organization vs. service oriented tasked organization. She is excellent in her provision of solid sales training material and exceptional follow-up material to ensure her customers get good results and great return on investment. I highly recommend her company because it is credible, creative and dependable!”

"I have been in Print & Newspaper Media for the last five years. About a year ago I joined the San Francisco Chronicle as the Advertising Trainer & Special Sections Specialist. Deb's was the first class on facilitation that I have formally taken. Deb made me feel more confident, she provided tips to improve my facilitation and did so with a professional demeanor. Her streamlined process of consistency and safe environment allowed me to be a much more effective trainer when it comes to my new hires on a daily basis. Thank you Deb!"
