Directions: : Take 270 to 71 south to the Influencing Without Power Date: Thursday, March 6, 2008 (9 AM - Noon) 3.0 CE Credits If you’re on the fast track – someone who has already moved well beyond his or her formal job description – you know how critical it is to be able influence those around you. You are expected to get results – mold a group into a driving force – without any real authority over most of the members because they come from all over the organization. You need new skills to be effective in this environment – skills like winning trust, building credibility and influencing others to your point of view. These are exactly the types of abilities you will acquire at Influencing Without Power: Persuading Your Boss and Peers to Do What You want Them To. This seminar is based on the classic work of Dale Carnegie – the acknowledged master of persuasion and human relations skills. You will learn to communicate up, down and across the organization to build consensus; negotiate compromises that work for everyone; resolve group conflicts before they derail the project; use five types of evidence to gain commitment. In addition, through a set of proprietary exercises you will be shown how to create working alliances and make people glad to do what you want them to do. In today’s matrixed business world, successful leaders are able to work effectively well beyond the narrow span of control granted by a job description. They make the right things happen by gaining commitment and consensus from Who Should Attend? Managers and HR professionals, corporate officers, business owners, and key personnel. Course Instructor:
Effectively Managing Meetings & Presentations Date: Thursday, May 15, 2008 (9 AM - Noon) 3.0 CE Credits It doesn’t matter what our career is, sooner or later we’re going to be responsible for hosting a meeting or giving a presentation. If we are moving up the ladder in our professions, at some point we’ll be managing a team, giving project updates, training clients, or giving any number of other business presentations. In this session, we organize the planning process for business meetings and presentations. By planning thoroughly and thoughtfully, we can take much of the anxiety out of giving business presentations and have a powerful impact on our audience. We will also examine our choices when it comes to using visuals, and the appropriateness of certain visuals in different presentation situations. We will learn the guidelines for avoiding visuals that confuse listeners and cause people to disengage. We work on interacting with our visuals in a professional, seamless manner. At the completion of this program, you should have an increased confidence in creating meeting agendas/presentations, and create visuals for those meetings that grab attention and reinforce your message. Who Should Attend? Managers and HR professionals, corporate officers, business owners, and key personnel. Course Instructor:
Planning & Execution Date: Thursday, September 18, 2008 (9 AM – Noon) 3.0 CE Credits Creating the vision and the plan to move toward that vision is leadership. Leaders not only see the big picture and communicate it well, they break that plan down into the priorities and methods necessary to achieve group goals. In Good to Great, Jim Collins and his teams conducted exhaustive research on organizations from a variety of businesses to determine what makes companies move from being good to great. One of their key findings was that companies that prospered over the long term tended to be visionary. They knew their major strengths, and focused on the long term future. This was not just creating vision statements, but being visionary in planning and execution. Organizations face tremendous change as we face the competition of a global economy, acquisitions and mergers, a shifting work force, and ever advancing changes in technology. Creating effective vision statements and values for the organization helps overcome this feeling of chaos. Having a focal point gives the company and the people a framework with which to make strategic and tactical decisions. Who Should Attend? Any mid and upper level manager who needs to produce more, better, faster with less! Course Instructor:
Negotiation - From Conflict to Collaboration Nothing can de-motivate a productive employee faster than a dispute with another co-worker or manager. Conflict in the workplace can lead to a decline in productivity, peace of mind, and the overall well-being of the organization and the individuals involved. In this module, we will determine when mediation is necessary. Conflict situations are frequently complicated and difficult to resolve. By ourselves, we may have limited capacity for dealing with the many issues that might be involved. By collaborating with others within and outside our organization, we can access the experience, expertise, creativity, and values of other professionals to bring the situation to a successful conclusion. Who Should Attend? Owners, Presidents, VP’s, Managers, Business Leaders, HR professionals, and key personnel. Course Instructor:
