Learn how to become a great manager by setting your team up for success. Optimize your team’s strengths while minimizing their weaknesses and foster the growth of their talent.
Your job as a manager is to optimize your team’s strengths and help each team member grow. You will learn the five key attributes of a great manager: hire fewer people and pay them more; be proactive with recognizing team members and showing appreciation; set clear expectations and help them know how their efforts contribute to the organization as a whole; take away hassles, not motivation; and, discover and leverage strengths of each individual.

Transitioning from Universal Analytics to Google Analytics 4
In October 2020 Google released a new version of analytics called Google Analytics 4 (GA4). GA4 is the new default analytics platform which replaces Universal Analytics (UA), effective July 1, 2023. In the meantime, you have the option to run both versions concurrently. It’s recommended to install GA4 immediately in order to start building history on the new platform. This workshop covers GA4 exclusively.
Prerequisites: This workshop will not cover Google Analytics account setup and installation, as the installation procedure varies depending on your website platform. Please seek out a YouTube video tutorial for your specific website platform or consult your webmaster for installation support. It is expected you will have your GA4 account setup and installed on your website prior to the workshop. No further experience required.
