their teams effectively. Developing leadership skills is crucial. In this workshop you will learn
how to work in a horizontal mode of operation…apply a consistent theory in leading the
team…and teach critical leadership skills to members of your team, so each and every one of
them can lead the team in your absence.

Executive mentoring or coaching is an opportunity for Federal employees to meet with a
seasoned and senior Federal manager to receive personalized career advice. Coaching provides
an opportunity for more direct, give-and-take interaction than plenary sessions or larger
workshops. The format of the coaching session will be one on one or in small groups with the
questions limited to professional advice.
E4. Everything and Anything You Ever Wanted to Know About the EEO Process - Helen Hagin, DOT [Go To Top]

the practical application of the information delivered by the seminar trainer(s). Group
discussion is encouraged and facilitated as it enhances the learning experience.
The primary focus is on federal EEO laws and the statutory EEO process and procedures. Participants
will learn about the rights of employees and the responsibilities of the agency. The
