New lineup for 2026 workshop series!

Hello everyone and happy spring!

The Priority Learning Team has revamped all of our workshop series so we can offer the best elements of leadership. We've even changed a few of their titles. We've listen to what the participants' needs and aspirations are and encourage that feedback so we can give them the best experience in a comfortable learning environment. Every year we modify and find new ways for folks to experience the learning exercises, activities and discussions. Here's the lineup for the rest of 2026:

• The Direct Managers 7-day series starts on June 11th. Direct managers are the heart and soul of any organization. Because they direct, redirect, coach, instruct, and guide their employees to be motivated, productive and successful, managers need leadership tools and comprehensive applications. We use the MBTI Step II Assessment to encourage managers/leaders to understand themselves and others, which helps promote high-functioning teams and staff relationships.
• People Centric Leadership 8-day series starts on June 23rd (formerly the Influence Through Leadership series). This series is intended for established leaders and focuses on the key skills and essential behaviors to be as influential as possible. We focus on elements such as motivation, encouragement, coaching and empowering staff. We use the DiSC Work of Leaders and participants are loving this tool that helps them see the four different styles in a very comprehensive way.
• The Leadership Maker 7-day series starts on August 26th (formerly the Associate POP series). This series is for potential leaders and leaders/managers who need core skills and behaviors of leadership. We use the DiSC Catalyst to guide these newly promoted leaders understand the different styles of leadership and how to use them in different situations.
• Emotional Intelligence 8-day series, featuring the Eqi Assessment, starts on September 11th. This series focuses on "Self" and the impact on others. It offers the essential skills to be stronger, bolder, and true to yourself while being better for those around you. Anyone who aspires to learn about their EQ is welcome!!
• Lastly, we have Performance-Based Management 7-day series, (formerly Multigenerational) starting on September 16th. This series is about retaining, performing, and coaching for strong leaders and managers who want to maximize performance with all their employees. Using Priority Learning's assessment called the ProLead, managers and leaders will experience 8 elements of what it takes to lead performance!!

Planning ahead and info about our upcoming series:

• We are working on a 12-month "Improving the Cultural in your Organization" series that will help specific leaders to adopt the culture they want for their organization. Ralph's book, The Magic Behind The Curtain, is the basis of the 12-day workshop series (one day per month, including support from the PL team each month). There are six pillars we focus on: Leadership, Measurement, Steering, Charter, Feedback, and Task Team. We will keep you posted on this upcoming event that we will most likely start in 2027.
• We know how difficult it is to have this series called Facilitation and Presentation fill up (we only need six for a fun-filled, comfortable place to learn and practice atmosphere). Some joke that they'd rather pass away then get up in front of an audience to present...we help people overcome their fears. Let us know if there's interest and we'll set up another series.
• All of our workshops start at 8:30 and end by 4:30, continental breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and all the beverages are also included, as well as workbooks, materials, and assessments. Our training rooms are comfortable, cozy and welcoming (folks have said). Please visit our website...www.prioritylearningresearch.com to sign up for a series and to schedule the rest of the dates for each of the series listed above.
