Supervisor’s Toolkit (Co-Sponsored by RMA)
April 18-22, 2010
Tuition: $825 per person
CEUs: 3.0 Units Available
PDHs: 30 Hours Available

The educational facilities workplace has been transformed in recent years by a variety of forces. Intense competition, advancing technology, changing values, and a global economy have created new possibilities as well as challenges. This transformation is changing the nature of management and the roles of supervisors.  Supervisors must develop a systematic approach toward organizing, managing, motivating, and meeting customer expectations. The traditional role of the supervisor/manager is no longer adequate. The new business environment demands leadership. Register your employees today for this ever popular professional development offering that give a supervisor at any level exactly what they need!

Selling Yourself & Your Organization
April 18 – 19, 2010
Tuition: $395 Members / $595 Nonmembers
CEUs: 1.25 Units Available
PDHs: 12 Hours Available

Learn how to get to “yes” with your requests. Whether it’s trying to convince your board of directors that deferred maintenance is really a big deal or that additional money spent on the new science building’s HVAC system will have a significant life-cycle payback, or trying to convince your boss that additional grounds keepers will boost admissions, getting your point across clearly, succinctly and convincingly is critical to the success of your department’s efforts.  Just how do you go about identifying needs and perceived/real benefits? How can you be convincing, presenting information that your boss and your board will relate to?  Who are your sponsors and champions?  What is “board speak”?  Come to this highly interactive day and a half session. Learn from the trainers and yourselves and contribute your insights about getting to “yes” with your requests.  It won’t be dull!

Execution at the Speed of Trust
April 22, 2010
Tuition: $395 Members / $595 Nonmembers
CEUs: 1.0 Unit Available
PDHs: 8 Hours Available

Trust-related problems like redundancy, bureaucracy, fraud, and turnover put the skids on productivity, divert resources, squander opportunities, and chip away at a company’s brand. On the other hand, leaders who make building trust an explicit goal of their jobs elevate trust to a strategic advantage—accelerating growth, enhancing innovation, improving collaboration and execution, and increasing shareholder value.   Join us for this highly interactive workshop that engages leaders at all levels in the real work of identifying and closing the trust gaps that exist in your organization.  This one day session will allow you to:

• Choose to make building trust an explicit goal of their work.
• Learn how others perceive their trustworthiness from their personal tQ™ Report.
• Understand the real, measurable Trust Taxes they might be paying without realizing it.
• Change Trust Taxes to Trust Dividends, which are the benefits that come from growing trusting relationships.
• Make action plans for Building Trust Accounts with all key stakeholders.
• Begin using the Language of Trust as an important cultural lever.

Seats are limited! Register today!
