TAKE TIME TO MANAGE YOUR TIME ( ORGANIZATION)
Is your life today harder than you could have ever imagined? Do you often feel overwhelmed? Have you ever missed an appointment because you couldn’t keep track of your obligations? If you have agreed with any of these statements, there is a good chance that you need to be more organized and this breakout session is for you. It is often hard to associate increased stress with lack of organizational skills, but there is a direct correlation. The more you slow down, take a breath and learn how to manage your time successfully, the more you can manage your life successfully.

STOP TALKING AND START LISTENING! (COMMUNICATION)
You may have the right ideas and know what you are talking about, but unless you know HOW to communicate effectively, the other person may not really hear you. Whether you are talking to your colleagues, boss, spouse or child, good communication skills are essential in getting your point across. Many people are not effective since they believe that they can’t express themselves correctly or they may not come across the right way, so they often don’t even try and they let important opportunities slip away. Others believe that the more forcefully you state your case, the better the other person will listen- but that aggressive approach can often backfire and cause the wrong impression. Still others believe that whining and complaining is the best approach, but when forced to analyze how they sound, they will agree that they are not being an effective communicator. In this eye-opening breakout session, you will find the secrets of communicating with all the different people in your life and all different personalities.

NEGATIVE ENERGY IS EXHAUSTING (TEAMWORK)
No matter who we are dealing with, it is always more effective to have a positive approach rather than a negative approach. The real challenge is to catch ourselves whining or complaining and to turn that around. Often we don’t even realize how we are coming across and that is part of the problem- recognizing how negative we can actually be. Then there are some of us who often feel exhausted in our relationships at work or at home. It is hard to acknowledge that negative energy is exhausting. Whether you are overtly fighting with your spouse or child or you are quietly being aggravated by your boss, negative energy can sap all of the strength we need to have a positive outlook. A positive outlook can often translate into a positive outcome, but you have to know how it works. Roberta Roth shares the vital principles of reducing negative energy and tapping into your positive side. Learn how to create a win- win situation for yourself and with all the people in your life that you want to have a better relationship with.

You can Do It! is for anyone who isn’t happy with the point they are in their live, but are willing to make the changes to get them what they really want.

LEADERSHIP TOPICS |
YOU’RE NOT AS DIFFERENT AS YOU THINK (DIVERSITY)
We are a society that often uses labels to describe ourselves. Unfortunately, these labels can often polarize us rather than help to connect us. This breakout session takes the viewpoint that in the workplace, these labels can give us a general background, but don’t help us to approach fellow workers in the most positive or effective manner. Being an outstanding leader requires an understanding of how we are all different, but more importantly, an appreciation of our differences. Each person is unique- yes, with a different background, but also with a different and perhaps a unique way of approaching a job. Instead of being judgmental of an employee who has a different slant, successful leaders learn how to value and welcome these differences and know how to utilize these differences and strengths to everyone’s benefit. Basically, successful leaders need to think outside of the box and determine what strengths each individual brings to their job and how to best utilize these strengths. The most critical challenge in management today is learning how to harness the best from the people that are surrounding us. This session is a must from support staff to the CEO of every company.

POSITIVE THINKING, POSITIVE RESULTS (CHANGE)
In our fast paced world, the only thing that is predictable is that things will always change. In the olden golden days, unlimited resources, divisions that are fully staffed and large budgets are now a thing of the past. Today, complaints are often heard, but not readily tolerated, like: “That’s impossible,” or “We can’t possibly do that.” To be successful in today’s stressful and challenging work environment, you must adapt a more positive, “can-do” approach in order to be a successful team player. Instead of “Can’t,” many of us need to reprogram our thinking to “We will,” to find better ways to increase productivity, utilize staff support effectively and be ready to change whenever it is called for. This breakout session will explain the natural resistance that people have toward change and the negativity that prevents us from making and even embracing changes. Change often creates fear and disorientation that can stand in our way of successfully moving forward. By the end of this session, you’ll be ready to anticipate your reaction to change, recognize how that reaction becomes a negative, but more importantly, how to change that negative approach into a positive outlook. Change is inevitable, but understanding how to deal with it in a positive manner may even help you view it as a positive challenge and a means of personal growth.

BE PROUD OF BEING DIFFERENT (CREATIVITY)
If you want to achieve what you secretly know you are capable of, you have to think in ways that you may have never though of before. This breakout session will teach you how to do that. Roberta Roth will teach you how to think in a way that will keep you in the forefront during these often challenging times and can help you to create new and exciting possibilities and opportunities. How we think determines how we act or behave. If we can change our way of thinking towards the positive, we can change our way of behaving to be more positive as well. To take your organization and yourself to the next level, you must always think in a positive way about how to reach that level. This may sometimes feel unnatural, but absolutely necessary. As an individual or as part of an organization, you can’t let negative attitudes defeat you. Sometimes, you have to step away from yourself and look back objectively to determine what is holding you back from moving forward. Sometimes taking a long hard look at how you have been operating and realizing there is a need to change can be the first step in many important steps you need to take to move forward towards reaching your goals.

STRESS LESS, ACCOMPLISH MORE (LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT)
There is nothing that will sabotage your plans, goals and dreams faster than stress. In a society that is flooded with technical advances, we have to keep up with these advances if we are to keep up with our fast paced world. Ironically, the very advances that were designed to make our life easier, (cell phones, beepers, email, blackberry’s, etc.) often have the opposite effect. What most people haven’t figured out is how to balance this fast paced life with a necessary “pause” in order to rejuvenate themselves. Unless you can find a balance in both your work life and your home life, you can’t be an effective leader. Learning how to handle multiple stressors is a prerequisite. In this breakout session, find out how to create a delicate, yet crucial balancing act that will give you more energy, more focus and give you back the zest for living and working that you may have forgotten. |
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES (ATTITUDE)
Having the right attitude can make the difference between doing your job well and just getting by. Helping someone reach their full potential can be accomplished through your approach and positive support. We are often so quick to say what we don’t like about someone’s performance, that we don’t realize the negative impact it has on them. A few brief criticisms can be magnified and even crippling if you approach your colleagues or employees with a negative approach. In this breakout session, learn how to “get more with honey than you can with vinegar.” Learn to use regular constructive feedback to motivate employees and learn how to reframe a suggestion or a criticism with a positive spin. Ultimately, you will have people working with you who make your job easier and who will make your organization more successful.

GET A LIFE! (WORK/BALANCE)
We’ve heard that age old adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” We all start off determined to do our best in every aspect of our life. To our amazement, time passes and we begin to feel “pulled” from every direction in our lives. We give a lot of ourselves to our work and then we also try to give a lot of ourselves to our home life. What ultimately happens is that “something has to give.” That can be in the form of a workaholic who has no time for family and friends and feels cut off from everyone, or someone who tries to do it all, but has frequent headaches or has a quick temper; or it can be someone who loses their zest for life as each day becomes a daily drudge and never seems to get through that never ending to-do list. In this breakout session, learn to have it all. As soon as you realize that you are valuable to everyone when you are happiest with yourself, you will perform better at work and enjoy those times with your family that you can never recapture.
