Top of Mind: The Importance Of Consistently Engaging The People Around You Presenter: John Hall

This session will explore the understanding of the trend of how people are losing trust online and how that
will affect our businesses. Everyone’s goal with trust and long-term business success is moving from
people’s short term to long-term memory. There’re important steps to assure this happens.
➢ Develop the steps towards creating a culture and employee base that is trained to be helpful to the
people that matter most.
➢ Start aggregating content triggers that are moments where you can engage people the most then
put a plan together to create consistent content from those moments.
➢ An investment in your own personal brand and key stakeholders around you will make your life a
lot easier and is an easy way to decrease trust barriers.
➢ Don’t be afraid to be courageous through being more authentic, adding personalization, and
thinking differently.
➢ Time is your most important asset so make sure you do everything you can to think smart and
identify ways to use less time but accomplish more.


Is that a “red flag”? What to do if an employee might sue. Presenter: Andrew Metcalf

 When dealing with difficult employee relations issues, every now and then, business leaders get the sinking feeling that an employee might want to stir up legal trouble. Perhaps an employee sends a disgruntled email or exclaims “I’m calling my lawyer!” after a difficult meeting –or maybe the employee just gives you a “bad feeling.

 In this session, you will learn practical tips about how to manage difficult employees, while trying to avoid potential liability,
including:

➢ Types of legal claims employees can bring, and how to see them coming.
➢ How to document workplace issues.
➢ How to communicate effectively when working through thorny workplace disputes

Intended Audience: Private Sector / Public Sector

Your Success is in YOU! Presenter: Bernie Frazier

With employee engagement near an all-time low, many employers want to help their employees engage more. What they don’t know is the best way is to understand what’s caused employees to disconnect. By gaining this understanding, employers can help their employees regain their “mojo,” boost engagement, and maximize performance.

At the end of this session, participants will:
• Be able to help employees understand the role they must play in having a successful career
• Know the one question they need to help their employees ask and answer to make smart career decisions
• Be able to help employees understand the silent requirements for getting and staying ahead
• Help employees understand why the most common reasons given for getting ahead don’t work
• Be able to show how applying a simple vacation principle can help to catapult an employee’s career

Intended Audience: Private Sector / Public Sector

➢ The importance of having an Armed Intruder Response Plan and what it should include
➢ What training programs are available to provide to your employees
➢ Work Place Violence from an administrative prospective with ways to detect and prevent a potentially violent situation.

Intended Audience: Private Sector / Public Sector

Inclusive Excellence: Addressing Unconscious Bias Daryl Smith

Unconscious Bias –the judgments, attitudes and behaviors toward others, of which we are not even aware.

This type of bias can lead to violence and death on the streets of Ferguson, in a city park in Cleveland, or in a gated community in Samford. This bias is also very dangerous in American workplaces and can lead to economic injustice. When this injustice is not properly addressed, it can escalate, and can potentially lead to real violence. How can we manage talent effectively if we are not aware of the biases that affect our behaviors? While we cannot eliminate unconscious bias, we can become more effective in managing it.

 This topic will be explored more deeply with:

➢ real world examples
➢ a discussion on possible solution

Intended Audience: Private Sector / Public Sector

Positive Culture Wins: People + Performance = Profits Presenter: Gary Wilbers

The challenge today is not IF you should have a great workplace culture but more about why you MUST have a positive culture to attract and retain the best talent to your business. Today's worker wants more from their employer besides a paycheck. In this workshop I will share three strategic components to developing and/or improving your organizational culture.

 1. People
 2. Performance
 3. Profits

This session will drive home the importance of creating and communicating a positive culture which ultimately impacts the bottom line of every organization.

Intended Audience: Private Sector / Public Sector
