Growing Your Own Talent – The Key to Success in Today’s Business Environment
Growing your own talent is the key to success. Seasoned employees are retiring. Smaller communities have a more limited talent pool. Younger workers seek challenges and more income. If you don’t provide what workers want, another employer will. In this fast-paced, interactive session, participants will learn:

  • The benefits of growing your own
  • The importance of self-assessment to identify leadership strengths & weakness
  • How to identify talent through assessments, discussion, reviews, and on-the-job observation
  • Specific mentoring & coaching strategies for project assignments, co-worker training, strategic thinking and tackling cross-generational challenges

Facilitated by Emily Huling, CIC, CMC, Insurance Industry professional trainer, president, Selling Strategies, Inc.

1 - 3 p.m.

Session 3 – Interactive Workshop
The Three Conversations of Leadership – How Leaders Drive Results by Having Conversations that Matter

In this program, participants learn crucial emotional intelligence skills needed to more effectively:

  • Give honest and candid feedback
  • Hold people accountable
  • Deliver bad news
  • Engage people when rolling out change; and,
  • Speak the truth when there is tension and conflict

Facilitated by Bill Benjamin, Leadership Consultant, president, Institute for Health & Human Potential

3:15 – 4 p.m.
