COLOR ME PROMOTED: THE POWER OF COLOR IN BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP
Peggy M. Parks |
Think of three successful women you know. Their educational backgrounds may differ, their personalities may differ, their professions may differ, but it’s likely they all emanate a certain something…a way of communicating, a way of interacting, and a way of engaging others--a way of being--that sets them apart.
“Color Me Promoted” is a fun, interactive and engaging program that lets women:
* Discover how the colors they wear every day affect others and how they can support a business agenda for every day of the week.
* Learn about the physiological reactions we have to color, particularly the color of clothes.
* Ensure they are eliciting the response they want from the people in their sphere of influence. |

THE THREE C'S OF PERSONAL POWER: CONFIDENCE, COMMITMENT, AND CONNECTION
Sally Williamson |
In the first seven seconds of contact, people form 11 initial impressions of you. Long before you've unfurled a great message, delivered a powerful story or set new direction for a team, your audience has decided how to listen to you based on the impressions created by your personal style. By exploring the impact of impressions and making deliberate choices for how you present yourself, your spoken image can become a powerful tool that creates lasting impressions. This session highlights the qualities of an effective communicator and offers simple exercises and tips for evaluating your style and creating lasting impressions. |

Dr. Marjorie Barlow, the founder of the Possible Woman concept and a devotee of the positive approach to human development, serves Interface, the largest manufacturer of commercial modular carpet in the world, as a Strengths Coach. By using positive psychology, she assists and facilitates the development of each individual employee’s best talent rather than fixing their weaknesses. A three-fold concept of 1) economic sustainability, 2) environmental sustainability, and 3) social sustainability has resulted in a growing Strengths-Based culture where employees are engaged fully; bottom line profits are possible; and a magnificent goal of zero environmental footprint (Mission Zero) by the year 2020 is being achieved.
