The X-Factor: Creating an Executive Presence (Carol Love & Sally Ward)

Have you wondered why some people are able to garner respect and opportunities more easily and quickly than equally talented colleagues? Women often work incredibly hard and yet are not fully recognized for their accomplishments, talents and potential. In this workshop you will:

• Learn the qualities necessary to create your “X” factor

• Learn how to address communication barriers to your success.
• Learn how to combine both masculine and feminine skill sets to create an engaging, authentic presence
• Learn how to display confidence and engender trust during challenging situations

Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence (Mimi Bacilek)

The number one predictor of professional success and personal excellence is your Emotional Intelligence. Your success in cultivating a new customer, engaging your team, creating powerful relationships, or selecting the best prospective employee is largely the result of your EQ skill sets. Want to increase your rate of success? Join your colleagues in this highly interactive workshop and learn to harness the power of the four components of EQ; self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.

Leading and Living with Purpose (Gwen Webber-McLeod)

Professional women often find themselves confronted with an array of challenges that test their sense of self, ethics, and integrity. Women who lead and live from a place of personal mission tend to have the capacity to face these tests with confidence, competence, courage and calm. Leading and Living with Purpose is designed to inspire women to use personal mission statements as a strategic professional resource. The workshop will be led by Gwen Webber-McLeod, President/CEO Gwen, Inc. a leadership development corporation based in Auburn, New York.
