Navigating the Communications Minefield
Betty Parker, President, Sharper Development Solutions

When was the last time you said something you didn't mean or it was misinterpreted because you weren't as clear as you could've been?  Ever been called rude, offensive or aggressive?  We've all had those moments when we wished we could take back something we said.  Communicating can be like navigating a minefield at times. In this session, learn how to avoid conversational triggers and convey what you mean for higher quality communications and leadership impact.

The Inclusion Illusion

How are you integrating diversity and inclusion strategies in your human resources operation? Are you fostering a culture that encourages a variety of perspectives and supports individual differences?

Make an Investment in Yourself!
Glenda Doles, Motivational Speaker and Author

What we get out of life is in direct proportion to what we invest.  If we make positive investments, our return on investment will make for a much more content life...personally and professionally.  Learning to better manage stress, be truly happy in our jobs and living each day to the fullest are just a few of the ways we get the best "return on investment" every single day.
