Training Workshops: Develop Your Culture and Leadership [RR 705]

Key Talking Points

  • The complex multilevel market for women- but it’s only a piece of the entire market in the automotive industry
  • Upshift- create more in-depth training and coaching for businesses and individuals focused on culture, leadership skills, diversity inclusion (including women), developing the workforce. Developed during COVID. Ask Patty has 4 certifications. Grow your knowledge base and see things from different perspectives. Upshift is in piloting mode until 12/31/2021. 
  • Why do people change jobs? No career path, no training, not feeling appreciated
  • Certifications- workforce, culture, leadership. 4 workshops per certification, once completed you earn the certification. 
  • Training needs to start earlier than millennials- are GEN Z’s prepared to be managers? The workforce is consistently getting younger as boomer’s retire. 
  • Hiring technicians and retaining them- develop relationships, react fast
  • Being the top shop- invest time and money in training and leadership. 
  • Unconscious bias- being open and welcoming, changing your dialogue and being inclusive 
  • Are you taking advantage of the total available market? Do you see every opportunity available to you? 
  • Ask Patty- women are the tip of the iceberg for the entire market
