Lunch Keynote Speaker: Mohammed Ahamed - Multiculturalism in the Workplace: Unpacking the visible and invisible layers to meaningfully engage with and across differences.
Rhonda Campbell - Stop Comparing...Get Confident!
I've been in the workplace for decades. I honestly thought by this point in my career, the debate between assertiveness vs. aggressiveness would have long been settled. I had hoped that women would no longer compare themselves to men in terms of how they are perceived in the business world. Here's the bottom line...you define your demeanor. You determine if and when you are assertive or aggressive; both are needed at times in our lives. The challenge is that we, as women, still think it matters a whole lot more than it does. Confidence is what we should be striving for, not worrying about which "A" word someone uses to describe us.
Ken Altenbach - Ethical Behavior
More than ever, it seems daily we either hear or read news about unethical behavior in our businesses, churches, schools and government. Collaboration, trust and ethical decision making are in the forefront of today’s concerns and will continue to play a major role well into the future. It is critical therefor, for leaders to understand how individual choices that reflect cooperation and competition make an impact on both business and personal interactions and the results from the decisions made.
In this break out session, participants will:
- Learn the meaning of ethics and ethical behavior
- Learn the meaning of morals
- Participate in a simulation activity designed to create an awareness of the consequences of individual choices in terms of collaboration and ethics.
Closing Keynote Speaker: Kendra Aucker - Getting Out of Your Own Way
