The male scarlet tanager is one of the most colorful woodland birds in America with a body of brilliant red and jet black wings. But like a new employee who interviewed well at first and looks at the start to be a super star candidate…things aren’t always as they seem on the surface.

At our management training Boston, management training seminars Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we use the following example as a parallel for probationary periods:

Ornithologists have studied the tanager’s mating and nesting habits extensively. A female selects a partner, they build a nest, they mate, and she lays a clutch of eggs. While the eggs can go without her body warmth for an hour at a time, she elects to stay on them, depending on her mate to bring her food. If the male fails to feed her for even as little as one hour, she leaves, abandoning him and the eggs before they hatch. You see, this is a test period. Once hatched, the nestlings will each need to be fed 3-4 times an hour. If the male can’t even feed the female, he surely can’t do the work of co-feeding an entire brood. In effect, he’s fired.

When you have an employee on a probationary period, whether as a new hire or as part of progressive discipline, it is critical that you commit enough time to properly assess their progress. In our management training seminars Boston, management training Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we cover this important process in the "Evaluation" segment. Once you let a poorly matched employee through the probationary period, it is that much harder to get them back on course, especially if the problem is attitudinal. But skill progress needs to be assessed too.

At our management training seminars Boston, management training Seattle and management training programs Atlanta, we suggest you follow the example of the female tanager. Cut your losses early and place your efforts in finding a replacement that will motivate, inspire and lead your team to success.

Every presentation is different as is every human being. Each one of us has preferences, prejudices and judgements. When you are presenting material to such a varied audience, no matter the subject and professional benefits within, your material will still land differently within every person there. When you participate in our presentation training San Jose, presentation classes Atlanta, and presentation training San Francisco, you will take a look at yourself as external stimuli in those people’s lives.

It is true that each of us is responsible for our own sensitivities. But as a presenter, it is your responsibility to become extra aware of what thoughts come through before you actually speak them. You will be reminded during your participation in our presentation training San Jose, presentation classes Atlanta and presentation training San Francisco, that there is always a moment of choice before you select what comes out of your mouth. This moment is crucial and can make or break the effectiveness of your presentation.

Humor can be a wonderful relationship builder during presentations. It can put your audience at ease or inspire them through laughter. However, it can also go awry and sabotage your presentation. There is no sure way to be 100% perfect in what you say and how it is perceived by your audience. But if you notice even an ounce of doubt during that moment of preselection, go with your gut and go down the more conservative road. Practicing this during our presentation training San Jose, presentation classes Atlanta and presentation training San Francisco, will bring that next step of awareness toward your greater success.
