September’s session will give members the opportunity to gain further insights into this past years subjects. Come ask your deeper questions to the panel who presented earlier this year, and discover ways to utilize this information within your respective organizations.

  Come join us for the last 2023 Bi-Monthly Leadership Development SIG led by Carey Anne Curran.

  This month our program focuses on another aspect of Leadership:

  Words Matter:

  Using the right terminology in leader communications

  Every line of work you can think of has “buzzwords” – terms that everyone uses. Do they really work? In organizations, terms can be used so often that they gain dual meaning – sometimes both positive and negative. Being aware of this change can help leaders reframe and reword initiatives and facilitation, to help organizations improve connection and understanding.

  Join us as we engage in the question, “Are we using the right terminology to accomplish our goals?” - and analyze current  and common terms in organizations. Then, we will discuss whether they are truly doing what we think they should! Come prepared with questions and/or share what you know!

  About our presenter:

  

  Carey Anne Curran works in Learning & Development for American Honda Motor Co. in Marysville. There she uses her experience in learning administration, engagement, orientation, coaching current and rising leaders in leadership development, facilitating human interactions and communication skill development to build Honda’s teams. She enjoys achieving clear goals and providing a learning space for people to understand their own goals too.

  About the Leadership Development SIG:
  Leadership and management are two very different things. No successful organization would be where it is today without effective leadership; it’s almost always one of the main and primary drivers for growth, development, and innovation. Join us to discuss topics such as current leadership trends, how we are training the leaders of today and tomorrow, how good leaders motivate their employees, and the importance of emotional intelligence.

  Please join us for our October Webinar Listening in a Noisy World with Paula S. White

  In today’s fast-paced world, where words are our currency and communication is immediate, we often overlook one vital component – listening. It’s time to shed light on this underestimated skill and explore the transformative art of unexpected listening.  The relentless hum of daily tasks can often drown out meaningful communication, leading to attrition and reduced productivity. Can we afford to ignore the significance of authentic, meaningful communication and the relationships it promotes?
  

  Enter the “Four Zones of Listening:” Background, Reflective, Active, and Unexpected. More than just another leadership tactic, it’s a journey into the heart of communication, designed to enhance leadership skills, strengthen team bonds, and create an environment of trust, respect, understanding, and positive outcomes.

  
  

  Paula S. White, a dynamic business leader with over 15 years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience, excels at transforming Sales Teams into multi-million-dollar channels. Through her secret sauce: communication, strategic planning, and exceptional team leadership, she consistently shattered revenue growth across various industries by 8%-10% each year.

  What sets her apart? Her unique blend of music and business, passionately shared through her book, "Side B: Remix Your Leadership Style", and engaging workshops. Paula understands the importance of relationships and effective communication in driving top and bottom-line growth. She takes immense satisfaction in nurturing talent and unlocking potential, resulting in transformative results.
  

  Through her love of music, Paula is not just influencing the world of business - she's orchestrating it.

  IMPORTANT:  Zoom link will be sent in confirmation and reminder emails.  Please ensure you add to the calendar invite when you download it.

  Come join us for the bi-monthly Organizational Development SIG lead by Mary Held.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Mary coaches leaders on how to get maximum engagement from their employees and the highest level of performance and productivity from their teams.
  
  She is a business coach, and her focus is on the development of high performance teams. In business, like any other area, teams don’t just spontaneously come together. The level of engagement and performance you get from your team depends on the quality of leadership in the organization and the degree to which top leaders and managers throughout the organization are committed to training, coaching, and mentoring talent in the workforce … and promoting teamwork as a way of life.
