MALE-FEMALE COMMUNICATION STYLES
Does it ever seem to you like men and women speak different languages? Are you ever frustrated by communication breakdowns between you and your spouse? Between you and a co-worker of the opposite sex? Between you and customers of the opposite sex?
In many ways men and women DO speak different languages! In this lively, entertaining presentation, BJ Gallagher will help you de-mystify communication patterns in the opposite sex, and give you practical tips on how to improve your relationships. Her extensive experience working with both men and women, in work settings and in personal relationships, makes her uniquely qualified to provide you with the information and techniques you need to speak, listen, and understand across gender barriers. You'll laugh and you'll learn in this provocative, interactive session!
PEACOCKS AND PENGUINS:
Tapping Into the Creativity of Diversity
BJ Gallagher has a unique approach to developing employees and building flexible, innovative organizations -- an approach that includes humor, creativity, and metaphor, combined with practical, common sense solutions to what may seem like "dilemmas of diversity." Her experience in her consulting work has helped her clients maximize the productivity of diverse employees, increase innovation and new ideas, enhance team effectiveness, and build customer loyalty. This lively, interactive session will provide participants with the opportunity to assess their own organization's management practices, and to explore ways to tap into the creativity of employee diversity and leverage it as an organizational asset.
THE BLAME GAME:
BUILDING A CULTURE OF PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
IN YOUR ORGANIZATION
Widespread "victim" thinking, whining, finger-pointing, helplessness, and blaming are behaviors that plague many organizations today. Employees and management alike often seem caught up in a vicious cycle of "The Blame Game." This stimulating, interactive session addresses the personal and organizational costs of "victim" thinking and behavior, and demonstrates that the solution is a dynamic shift to personal accountability. Participants will learn how to help both individuals and organizations transform blaming into problem-solving, "victim" thinking into "ownership" thinking, and "poor me" into "personal accountability" resulting in empowered, proactive, productive people.
HOW TO MANAGE YOUR BOSS
AND OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Most people don't realize that management is a two-way street -- the same techniques that we use to "manage down" can be used to "manage up." People are people, whether they are bosses or employees, co-workers, friends or family members -- the same principles apply to managing our relationships with them. This entertaining presentation will include specific tips on motivation, communication, influence skills, and how to get other people to do what you want -- both in your professional life and your personal life.
