Session 1: 8:00-10:00am
Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently
If you want to succeed and influence others, you must learn how to connect with people. While it may seem like some folks are just born with it, the fact is anyone can learn how to make every communication an opportunity for a powerful connection. In this workshop, Derek will show you how to get the message across by building a bridge to others. He will point out that cultivating relationships is every bit as important to effective communication as crafting the message. Derek will share four principles and four practices to develop the crucial skill of connecting that will give you the edge.
Session 2: 10:30am - 12:30pm
How to Do the Most Important Things When You’re Already Busy
Carefully look over all of the things that you do and don't want to do. Will you commit to action on the big priorities? The way to get started is to bridge the gap between being busy and being productive. In this presentation, Derek will help you design every minute of your work and life activities with 10 gap-closing behaviors. You’ll go from, “I’m swamped and stressed,” to, “I’m laser-focused and effective.” You’ll walk away confident keeping up with your organization’s constant growth and change.
These professional development seminars are a continuation of YP Month, originally scheduled for June, 2020.
