South Shore chamber offering business workshops

Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce in partnership with South Lake Tahoe is putting on two workshops this month.

Leadership and People Management is a workshop for business owners on Oct. 22 from 1-5pm.

Participants will be taught why leadership skills are critical to a business in today’s economy and how to avoid the biggest mistakes that kill morale, motivation, productivity and profits. Participants will also be taught how to manage challenging employees more effectively, manage feelings, create a positive work environment for all, and respond positively to and treat all employees fairly. Topics include the high cost of poor leadership, creating a positive culture, dealing with difficult employees, the art of giving feedback and overcoming your own reactive tendencies. This interactive workshop is ideal for managers and business owners who want to improve their leadership skills, retain good employees and/or motivate their staff.

On Oct. 29 from 1-5pm will be a Time Management workshop for business owners.

Workshop participants will identify the barriers that keep them from managing their time more effectively. Topics include taming the calendar beast, focusing on what matters, tips for staying on track and meeting deadlines and the art of energy management. This interactive workshop is ideal for anyone whose inbox is full, has missed an appointment, hasn’t gotten eight hours of sleep since the ’90s or could just use one more hour in the day.

The workshops will be the chamber office, 169 Highway 50, Stateline.
