Leadership eLearning

Most of you were promoted to or became supervisors, managers, or leaders because you were outstanding "doers”.  When taking on leadership, you quickly realized that being an outstanding leader requires you to use a whole different skill set than you did previously.  And, quite frankly, the doing part of your job (even if the job is difficult) is the easiest part - knowing how to address the people that work with you is WAY more difficult.     
 
At PeopleWorks, we believe it's our job to help you to navigate management and leadership - helping you learn what works and what doesn't.  Our goal is to ensure you have all the tools in your toolbox to help you be the best leader you can be.  Everything included in our training is real-world, and is aimed at helping you with the day-to-day leadership challenges you face.   
 
On an airplane recently, someone asked what the most critical components of being a great manager included...  Our response to this question is always the same.  It's all about mastering the fundamentals - how you interview and select, appraise people and performance, coach, document and discipline, and motivate/retain/engage.  Just like great athletes, all of us need to continue to practice.  So, these are the topics you will find here on our site - to help you master the fundamentals. 
 
We do many onsite management and leadership training programs, and decided it's time to bring our training to you - whenever and wherever you need it.  Leadership eLearning was developed to help us reach more leaders (those of you that don't have the opportunity to attend a face-to-face session), and to reach you faster (for those of you who have been newly promoted), and to reach you more frequently (refreshers for those of you that have attending a previous training) with everything you need at your fingertips.  Participants have told us they wished they could take Kathy along back to their workplaces - now you can!

Kathy Peterson

Kathy PetersonPrior to founding PeopleWorks, Inc. in 1998, Kathy Peterson was a management development specialist at a Fortune 500 company (hint: they had cow spotted boxes). Kathy started PeopleWorks because she realized that there are many organizations (and leaders) that can benefit from great training - without a full time training staff and from an "outsider” looking in.  Over the last decade, she has had the opportunity to work with a wide-variety of clients and industries, as well as thousands of people from all over the United States.  

No matter where Kathy goes, her focus has been and continues to be helping her clients work more effectively with and through people.  Why such a focus on people skills?  Because organizations don't make decisions, serve/care for patients, educate, or retain employees. People Do! Long after her programs, you will remember Kathy because of her energetic and enthusiastic style and her interactive programs.

  
Kathy received a BA in Communications from Iowa State University and an MS in Adult Education, Performance, & Development from DrakeUniversity. In addition to being a successful business owner, Kathy is a wife and mother of four and she and her husband also farm outside of Storm Lake, Iowa.
