Chad Sorenson: Cutting Edge Leadership – Discovering What it Takes
About the Topic:
Many people in your organization may have the title of manager or director but do they have what it takes to lead a team. Statistics show that the primary reason employees leave their job is not the company or organization, but instead it is their manager. Too often, managers are so busy getting their own job done, they forget about leading and developing their teams. This creates a vacuum that needs to be filled.
Key Take-Aways:
This session will discuss the best practice strategies of leadership and how to identify ways to overcome the inevitable challenges and obstacles. Specific topics discussed include:
- Leadership traits including passion, vision creation and plan execution
- Understanding the differences between management and leadership
- Tools needed for effective communications with employees
- Communicating effective time management techniques to your staff
- Creating a culture in your organization that promotes and sustains engagement
- How to engage key employees through leadership and create a sense of ownership in their own development
- Understand the need for career development plans for key employees in order to retain them in a growing and changing economy

Kate Shockey: We Can Work It Out
About the Topic:
The employee market is shrinking; finding success with a “we can work it out” mentality will help save valuable resources and sometimes indispensable intangible knowledge. The presentation and discussion will develop participant skill in learning to recognize and prevent conflict situations before they become conflict problems (the manager’s job and prevention tips), understanding difficult behaviors and the business cost of ignoring them, developing skill at properly confronting difficult people and setting them at ease, recognizing and resolving interpersonal conflicts, and limited interactive discussion time to handle 3 common scenarios and develop confidence in resolving them.
Key Take-Aways:
- Understand the costs of ignoring conflict
- Develop awareness of the types of conflict - topic, relationship, identity or process.
- Explore HR’s role in interpersonal conflict and how to handle it.
- Learn how to approach and help the different types of employees in conflict
