Political Martial Arts
Presented by Paula Bell, CBAP
How many times have you tried to move a project forward but politics stop you? How many times have you tried to help others make decisions but politics get in the way? How many times have you just been frustrated with the politics of the organization that you don't know what to do? No matter the line of work, politics occurs. As long as individuals and corporations exist, so will politics. It's imperative that you don't let politics get the best of you. Not all a politics is bad, but the majority of the time politics has a very negative connotation. Leveraging martial arts concepts to navigate the political waters, especially when deemed negative or challenging, can be extremely successful. The martial arts concepts can help keep you focused on how to interact with those who tend to want to make everything political. This session will focus on the following objectives:
·
The Martial Arts Framework

What is politics?

Women and the Gig Economy: Secrets to Succeeding in the New World of Work
Presented by Diane Mulchy, Author, Senior Fellow at Kauffman Foundation
How to Make the Most of Your Skills, Passions, and Future
In an economy marked by the volatility and uncertainty
of corporate layoffs, downsizings, and outsourcing, traditional full-time
employment is declining.
Increasingly in its place are short-term assignments,
contract and consulting work, and freelance assignments – a new way of
working called “The Gig Economy.”
In this eye-opening program, Diane Mulcahy, author of The
Gig Economy: The Complete Guide to Getting Better Work, Taking More Time Off,
and Financing the Life You Want, narrows the lens even further and focuses on
how women, more than ever before, can leverage this new way of work in order to
more favorably (and more easily!) juggle the multiple roles and hats they have
always worn.
What You Will Learn
·
How to manage the risks of “gig work” while maximizing
the rewards
·
Ways to thrive in this new landscape by cultivating
multiple sources of income, skills, and a financial safety net
·
Secrets for how to finance time off between gigs –
travel, volunteer, or pursue your passions
·
How to regain power over your calendar and control
over you time
·
Ways to increase financial flexibility by reducing
fixed costs and boosting income and savings
While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.

The Agile Model of Leadership
Presented by David Snyder
The Agile Model of Leadership can be simply put as:
1.
Help
2.
Explain
3.
Lead by Example and Expertise
4.
Coach and Train
To say that we don’t live in a world that is obsessed
with power would be foolish—since the dawn of time people have been obsessed
with power and they always will be. But to imagine that “command and control”
type power works as a leadership style would be foolish as well. Egomaniacs may
thrive on their power trips—but power trips never work. The lack of genuine
leadership in the workplace—leadership based on influence as opposed to
“command and control”—may be one of the main reasons that employee engagement
is at an all time low and not getting any better. In an Agile Environment of
Leadership, every department in every organization functions like the project
map of an Agile Sprint. And here is the way it looks, with levels of
productivity and engagement reaching maximum potential:The leader of the team will be widely known for having a high level of expertise in the job being done by other team members.
1.
The leader will be widely known for being the most
helpful person on the team.
2.
The leader will have vast knowledge of all of the
steps that were needed to bring projects to successful completion.
3.
The leader will be a master at making sure every
person on the team receives the feedback, help and training they need to finish
their own tasks, feel valued and work together successfully as part of the
team.
4.
If the leader behaves this way, everyone will grant
“authority” and respect to the leader the way great athletes grant authority to
their coach—and take their advice.
Many trophies would be won. Performance, engagement
and productivity will be at an all time high. If, on the other hand, a leader
has to “demand” respect and authority, he or she will never get it, true
teamwork will never happen, engagement will be low and employees will be
miserable. Beginning with the premise that Agile Leadership is better that
Hades, this information-packed webinar will show all of the steps that are
needed to:
1.
Demonstrate the power of caring
2.
Demonstrate the power of engagement
3.
Build an “agile model” of leadership based on coaching
and education
4.
Create systems for accountability that are neither
“flat” nor “hierarchical”—but based on individual commitments to the team
5.
Manage and lead people from an agile, team-based model
while still remaining “in charge” as the respected coach
