The Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to partner with ATW Training Solutions again in 2018 to bring great training programs to the Fairfield area! Following the success of last year's Management Development Program (MDP), we're very proud to extend that foundation by offering MDP2. This four-session (full days) series is an extension to the original MDP offered in 2017. Participants in this series are not required to have completed MDP. This series is a "deeper dive" into leadership concepts that "connects" more experienced leaders to the current characteristics of the workforce and advanced leadership skills. 
MDP2 - Fairfield 2018
​Session 1: Engage Your People - Wednesday, September 26, 2018
​
 In this session, participants will utilize the acclaimed Everything DiSC Management profile. ATW will lead an exploration of one-on-one management by utilizing the advanced assessment. By understanding their behavioral style and the style of those they are leading, participants build their leadership skills and maximize opportunities to more effectively give feedback, coach, motivate, and engage their team members. 

Session 2: Empower Your Team - Wednesday, October 17, 2018
In the second session, participants continue to build their leadership influence through learning how to more effectively empower and build their team. Included in the session is an assessment of team effectiveness utilizing Team Performance Concepts, a program from the esteemed Ken Blanchard Companies. The day also includes focused discussion on creating a culture of accountability.

Session 3: Elevate Your Results - Wednesday, November 7, 2018
ntability. Participants will shift attention to how to bring out the best in themselves in session three. This session is filled with tools to enhance management productivity.

Session 4: Explore Your Shifting Workforce - Wednesday, December 5, 2018
dispersed We'll begin this final session with exploration of emotional intelligence - what research shows to be 58% of one's success on the job. We'll then turn to explore the challenges and opportunities of today's diverse workforce, including: a look at our Millennial and Post-Millennial talent, building and sustaining a culture to retain talent, and awareness of the "rules" for a respectful workplace in a #MeToo climate.

Date(s): See exact dates above. All sessions 9:00am to 4:00pm (Lunch Included)
Location: Jefferson County Health Center
Price: Originally $1,595; Now just $895 to Chamber Members or $995 non-Chamber Members (That's just $225 per full day session!)

The 2018-2019 Leadership Fairfield class just had their opening session on Tuesday, September 11th. Leadership Fairfield is Fairfield's premier networking and professional development program. The program has eight monthly sessions, each centered around a unique theme. As part of the opening session, Leadership Fairfield participants went on a Scavenger Hunt at local businesses around Fairfield.
