Annual Women in Leadership Forum
How To Get People To Do What You Want: Influencing Skills for Women in Leadership
Saturday, March 10; 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
(Ticket Required)

Back for an encore after last year’s highly acclaimed Women’s Forum on Networking (to which, as always, men are invited), author and communications specialist Lynne Waymon will lead participants through another fascinating and fast-paced session. Last year’s attendees learned how to network like a pro.

This year, you’ll gain practical, down-to-earth, “how to’s” on getting your point across effectively and efficiently, using Lynne’s nine creative techniques for being more persuasive, including the “Fur Coat” and the “Hot Fudge Sundae” Rules.

If you have to deal with shrinking resources, difficult people, and sticky situations—and who doesn’t!— hone your skills for making a point without making an enemy. In this interactive workshop, Lynne will share stories, experiments, tips, simulations, and guidelines with easy-to-master strategies for getting your way and influencing others.

The forum is open to all, regardless of gender. Come join us! Afternoon refreshments will be served. (Cost is $15.00. Please refer to the Registration and Ticketed Events Payment Form).

Urban Viewpoint Session

These are complex and challenging times for urban administrators. But it is also a time of hope and opportunity for making a profound difference. What are the characteristics of leaders who will leave a legacy that will transcend the tough realities? Cile Chavez, president of Cile Chavez Consulting and former superintendent of Littleton Public Schools in Colorado, will offer gifts that urban leaders can give that constitute the art and heart of leadership.
