UPCOMING LEADERSHIP SEMINARS

Fall 2023 Leadership Seminar

Sunday, September 10, 2023 - in Conjunction with the Fall Forum in Boise, Idaho.

Zap the Generational Gap!

Speaker:
Meagan Johnson
Author of Generations, Inc: From Boomers to Linksters – Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work

When dealing with multiple generations, outdated methods can leave you scratching your head and empty-handed. Because generations are in a constant state of flux, what worked last year does not work today. What seemed like a perfect solution yesterday is the source of tomorrow's problem. And, you simply cannot ignore the rising costs of low productivity and high employee turnover resulting from misunderstandings, missed signals and missed opportunities!

Offering a comprehensive, thoughtful and humorous look at the generations of Americans in the workplace – and the life events that shaped each generation's work styles, traits, buying habits and needs – Zap the Gap helps participants to consider and refine the methods they use to reach out to the Millennial, Gen X and Baby Boomer generations.

Sponsorship opportunity available. Contact Kristen Stewart at kristen.stewart@iamc.org

Spring 2024 Leadership Seminar

Sunday, April 7, 2024 - in Conjunction with the Spring Forum in Greenville, SC.

Become the Leader People Want to Follow

Speaker:
Kit Welchlin
Former Manufacturing CEO, Founder of Welchlin Communication Strategies

Leaders persuade and influence others through high-impact Communication. Leaders are expected to possess conceptual, human, technical, and political skills. Leaders need to be sensible and willing to learn. Leaders need to be flexible and fair. Leaders need to be intense and at the same time somewhat humble. You don’t need a title to be a leader.

Position power is the extent to which leaders have rewards, punishments, and sanctions. Position power comes from the organization. Personal power is the extent to which you can gain the confidence and trust of those people that you’re attempting to influence. It’s the cohesiveness or commitment between leaders and followers.

Effective leaders are communicators that build and sustain both positional and personal power!

Join Kit to learn:

• The six criteria of personal credibility
• The top ten characteristics of effective leaders
• The three skills to long-term effectiveness
• How to select appropriate situational leadership styles
• How to take charge and grow winners
