Whether you are refining operations\, evaluating strategic plans\, or brainstorming better ways to assist customers\, businesses with the best ideas come out on top. This workshop will teach you how to recognize key mistakes that company leaders make which undermine their effectiveness at running and growing a company.  You will also walk away with tips that you can implement immediately to improve your personal performance and help you reach your full potential to build an amazing team.  If YOU want to build an amazing team\, it starts with YOU! \n  \nSession 4: What is Your USP? & Communication (February 23\, 2022) \nAre you tired of feeling invisible in your field\, of not being recognized for your talents and expertise? Are you losing potential customers to your competitors solely because your prices are higher? Many professionals have felt the same way and decided to do something about it. The answer lies in the strength and value of your USP. This workshop will teach you the art and science of identifying what sets you apart and turning that into a brand that will make you more valuable and memorable than others in your field. \nThis Seminar is Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Development Series 1
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday November 3rd\,  November 17th\, December 1st\, & December 15th from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Leader’s Right Mindset (November 3\, 2021) \nMany people believe that being the owner\, boss or holding some sort of management position is what defines leadership. Paramount Business Development\, Inc. KNOWS this is totally false. True leadership is hard\, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is a slow and steady process that happens over years and years of practice and it all starts with little habits. Join us for a morning to discover the 7 habits of highly effective leaders that you can start practicing today that will help you become the leader you want to be tomorrow. \n  \nSession 2: Communicating Simply & Effectively (November 17\, 2021) \nWorkplace communication is crucial to companies because it enables them to be productive and operate effectively. When a company can communicate correctly\, employees can experience an increase in morale\, productivity\, and commitment. How well do you communicate with your team? More importantly\, how often do you communicate with your team? Join us as we discuss real life examples of communication problems in companies and how you can better lead your team to success. \n  \nSession 3: When Things Go Awry?! (December 1\, 2021) \nWe’ve discussed how crucial workplace communication is to a company\, but what happens when things go wrong? Not all problems can be anticipated or resolved. People are complicated and there’s no owner’s manuals. This workshop will review communication strategies\, discuss real life conflicts within organizations\, and present several effective strategies to handle those conflicts. \n  \nSession 4: Managing Overwhelm (December 15\, 2021) \nAre you feeling pressured by deadlines?  Is there never enough time in the day?  Are you working longer and longer hours\, while getting further behind? Win your time back in this 4-hour workshop where we will show you how to master your use of time\, complete your most critical tasks\, and overcome that constant feeling of being overwhelmed. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:Effective Delegation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:TARGET AUDIENCE:  Mid-level Managers and up \nHow many times have you done a task yourself because you thought you could get it done quicker and more efficiently than anyone else? Even if you could get it done quicker\, all the time you are spending doing jobs that other people could be doing is time that you are not running your business. Every time you allow yourself to get bogged down in simple details that your employees could be working on\, you are not being an effective leader. The main person in your company who will be truly motivated to grow your company is YOU. Every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated to someone else is a minute that you are not planning\, strategizing\, and building the best business possible. This workshop will discuss effective delegation strategies that you can implement today so you can get back to the most crucial tasks. \n  \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development
