1:30 PM - 3:15 PM “How to Succeed at Managing Gen-Y”
|
|
Dennis Kendall
The Coaching Company |
The differences between Generation Y employees and your more mature
managers are profound and well-documented. The question: As a manager,
how do you make the differences work for you instead of against you? In
this session, newsroom performance specialist and The Coaching Company
Partner Dennis Kendall shares keys to making your Gen-Y staffers
powerful and productive members of your team. You’ll gain in-depth
understanding of the needs and priorities this generation brings to the
job, and practical tools you can use to manage them more effectively
from the moment you get back to your newsroom. |

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
“Forgiveness As A Business Virtue”
|
|
Bob Enright, Professor Educational
Psychology UW-Madison
|
Excessive anger in the workplace is now too commonplace. In this talk,
Professor Enright reviews the research on the effects of unhealthy
anger, which include reduced energy and creativity, increased
interpersonal conflict, and reduced self-esteem. Based on over 20 years
of research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Enright presents
a scientifically-based solution to that excessive anger: forgiveness.
Forgiveness is the act of reducing resentment and offering goodness
toward those who act unfairly. To forgive is not to excuse or condone,
to forget, or even to reconcile if the other refuses to change.
Strategies for forgiving those who act unjustly are presented in a
practical way. |

9:45 AM - 11:45 AM “Diversity: Group Dynamics”
|
|
Carl Spikner
Executive Vice President Council For World Class Communications
|
While diversity training has historically focused on demographic
differences, the real opportunity is the understanding of the multiple
group memberships that we all have. The workshop focuses on how to
identify group memberships and create/understand the relationships on
which successful organizations flourish. |

| These sessions are a part of
