Managers Can Help Employees Hone Critical Soft Skills

Chief Talent Officer, Linc Ashby, and Senior Manager, Alexis Beebe, talk with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) about the positive impact of Weaver’s training and coaching program and the importance of investing in your managers.

At Weaver, an independent accounting firm based in Houston, all newly promoted managers attend WeaverLIFT (formerly Pathways) —a three-day training program—and undergo a year of coaching. Time management is one of the skills the coaching focuses on, according to Linc Ashby, chief talent officer at Weaver.

Alexis Beebe, senior manager for learning and development at Weaver, found it helpful to set large and small individual goals to accomplish before the next coaching session. “For my coaching clients, setting goals has really helped them feel more successful and like they’re accomplishing something great, no matter how big or small. Some of my clients have since put into effect monthly goals with each of their own team members,” Beebe said.
