Everybody has power. No more modesty and “Oh me?! I don’t have any power.” It’s simply not true. Business leaders need to recognize the kinds of power they possess and how to use it ethically and effectively. This session will cover the different examples of power in the workplace, how individuals assess their own power and tips for using workplace power in a responsible fashion.

Ethical Use of Power in the Workplace

Today’s organizations must develop engaged employees, supervisors and managers. The leadership and direction that has been traditionally provided by hierarchy must now come from the individual. To work effectively in the radically transformed organizational environment of today and tomorrow, employees, manager and teams must become self-managing.

1. Understand the relationship between strategic planning and business results
2. Learn the four steps to developing a strategic plan
3. Discuss current business examples of business examples of strategic planning in the workplace

Fail to Plan....or Plan to Fail?

This presentation offers an overview to the purpose of social media (it’s not what you might think) and the key considerations for developing and implementing a social networking strategy in your organization.

Leveraging Social Media for Business Performance and Growth

How does HR show the value of their efforts? The answer is metrics. Not big,
long complex math formulas . . . but clear and easy-to-use measurements. This
session is designed to provide an introduction to metrics – which ones to
calculate (and which to avoid) as well as easy-to-use instruction on how to compile the data.
