Session II: [Dale Carnegie] Motivational Leadership

Our world has changed. Thirty years ago, companies were hiring managers and they were hiring leaders, but they were not necessarily the same people. Today, every manager is expected to not only to be an effective leader but also a coach and a mentor. Most of us are comfortable on one side or the other in the leadership/management balance. It is important to examine the balance between what we are doing today vs. what we are leading others to do. The way we see others and the assumptions we make about people and the world around us shape our reality and the environment in which we work. After completing this workshop, you will be able to identify the roles and responsibilities of a successful leader and realize that our opinions and ideas about leading others shape the environment in which we work. You will take away principles that build trust with others and you will be able to identify opportunities to recognize and develop the human potential in your organization.

Lunch Keynote: [GYB Coaching] Jack Klemeyer

In my youth I watched my father start several businesses, many of which were ahead of their time, and all with enormous potential. I saw first hand how devastating the lack of support for an entrepreneur could be, both on the business and on a family. The awareness of how critical support is for any entrepreneur grew as I started my own selling career with a major U.S. property and casualty insurance company. From college days forward I have dedicated myself to helping people in small businesses develop, grow and thrive. As a coach, it is my passion to serve my clients in maximizing their potential.
