Sample Talks
Career Management or Career Chaos? It's Up to You!
If you take charge of your career, greater productivity and a better future are in store for you. Learn how to assess your strengths and areas for development, network inside and outside your organization and pursue and obtain the projects and assignments you want to be involved in.
Executive Presence - Behaving and Performing as a Leader
Individuals in a leadership role are expected to act in a consistently professional manner, exhibit confidence and poise, and be a positive role model for others. Taking initiative and responsibility, adhering to a code of conduct and ethics, maintaining a positive attitude, respecting others and presenting yourself to the best of your ability, are all part of the package.
Audiences will learn how to present themselves as a leader, both physically and mentally, how to make colleagues and clients feel important, attended to and respected, and the importance of following your organization's formal and informal, leadership guidelines and norms.
Connect! Developing Relationships That Reap Results
If you think networking is passe, think again! In our era of globalization, technology and constant change, building relationships to realize business goals is more important than ever.
Julie, a master networker, shares her secrets about this critical business skill.
Your audience will learn a review of the basic steps in the networking process, networking etiquette and tips for cultivating valuable contacts, how networking can ensure professional and personal success, and creative ways to maintain relationships and keep your contacts alive.
You Want Me to Work With Who?
This practical and fun presentation addresses the most troubling issue many people face at work – the inability to get along with dysfunctional coworkers. Based on her book, You Want Me to Work with Who? Julie will share her unique approach to handling this universal problem.
The secret is in the Eleven Keys…There are eleven main character traits that inform our day-to-day workplace behavior. Often, difficult people can lack or have an over-abundance of some of these key traits, which makes them “act out” in ways that always have a negative reverberating effect on their own work and those who work with them. In this presentation, Julie will teach participants how to:
• Recognize the root causes of problem behavior.
• Effectively confront problem colleagues.
• Find real solutions to dealing with them in the future so they can meet their own goals.
• Understand which of the Eleven Keys they themselves may need to develop or tone down.
