Workshop Title: "Tomorrow's Workplace … And What You Need to Know About It Today"

Workshop Summary:
Discretionary efforts are tamed, ideas are shelved in heads and interest in work has waned at a critical economic time when intellectual property and initiative are competitive necessities leaders can’t buy with just a paycheck. The great recession has changed the social contract and expectations in the employer-employee relationship. Discover how this transformation will affect you and your results. Plus, learn about the workplace trends that can impact your business.  Discover what motivates employees today, why the generation issue is not what you think it is, and how myths of decades past may be getting in your way. Learn common mistakes and key behaviors as you explore what it takes to get extraordinary results in this emerging era at work.”

Workshop Title: Raising Kids in the Technology Age

Workshop Summary:

“To protect our children in the computer age and the social media revolution, we do not need better filters on our computers, smart phones, cell phones, and video games… we need to install the filters in the heads of our children via education, training and awareness! The information age has brought new challenges, dangers, and risks to our families. We must act to protect our families from these risks… but the answer is not more regulation and more sophisticated technology! What we need to do is to apply our tried and true sets of values, morals, ethics, and spiritual beliefs to this new age! As a parent educator I have traveled around our country for the past fifteen years, and as this revolution has come upon us, the thing that American parents work on is educating their children about how to protect themselves! Come and learn some tools to use to protect your family.
