Successful people do things (usually simple things) that others are unwilling to do. “R.O.C.K. your Job” enforces the use of beneficial professional practices essential for HR business leaders. “R.O.C.K. your Job” will help all HR professionals improve or implement people development and talent management processes and policies for higher retention and increased productivity. At this program, Wendy Calvin will share:

1. Recognize what others expect from you.  Develop good active listening skills to gather important information from others and minimize miscommunication which is vital for coaching, mentoring, and interviewing.
2. Over-deliver.  Accomplish more important things in a shorter amount of time.  Discover the #1 thing you must absolutely do to properly manage your time and prioritize your to-do list; using S.M.A.R.T. written business goals to drive your work activity.  Learn how to judge if your employees are using business goals aligned with the vision and mission of the organization to guide their daily work and decision making.
3. Company Visibility.  Apply successful networking tips and tricks to influence who knows you and what they know about you.  Learn what you should teach employees about properly networking.
4. Know what they think of you.  Influence how other people perceive you by deploying techniques and gaining the courage to seek out regular feedback. Grasp the significance of integrating consistent feedback as part of your performance management process.  Learn how to encourage managers (and train employees to expect) frequent supportive and directive performance feedback.
