Our 2013 Leadership Development Program consisted of six days of modules covering a wide variety of topics, including:

  • A “straight-talk” guide to success and leadership
  • Handling change
  • Valuing diversity
  • Training and coaching
  • Heading off or responding to conflict
  • Providing constructive feedback on performance
  • Managing time
  • Building self-confidence and demonstrating professionalism
  • Being a role model
  • Integrity and ethics
  • Making tough decisions
  • Promoting a team environment

Nikki Shelton-Moss is the facilitator in the South and Central regions’ modules, and Jan Born is the facilitator in the North region.

Where else can you celebrate the conclusion of your leadership trainings with refreshments made especially for you, a certificate recognizing your achievement autographed not only by your instructor but also the president of the bank, and a motivational book to help you to practice the skills you learned? The highlight of the presentation ceremony was when the graduates’ Branch Managers and District Managers formally recognized their strengths, their newly acquired skills and the value they bring to their branches and to North Shore Bank.

Congratulations to our awesome leadership graduates!
