About the Speakers:Do it Well.

Make it Fun.

Presentation by Ron Culberson

If you’ve ever had a boss who was really good at what he

or she did but was also fun to be around, you didn’t mind

arriving early or working late. In fact, you probably loved your

job. That’s the power of Do it Well, Make it Fun. It’s about

seeking excellence but making the process of life and work

more fun. Based on Ron Culberson’s book by the same name,

this presentation shows HR staff and leaders how to create a

less stressful work environment where people want to work.

It also helps them understand that excellence combined with

fun and humor can improve productivity, create better working

relationships, enhance creativity, change the workplace culture,

and lead to the delivery of better products and services.

Presentation Topics о Manage stress by changing others’ perspective and helping

them see the humor that’s all around them

о Improve relationships with others through empathy, clarity,

and humor

о Make processes in life and work more effective and more fun

Making The Connection

Presentation by Julie Gaver This engaging and highly interactive workshop will equip

you with everything you need to make solid connections at

your next networking event. Your experience will be high

touch, not high tech. You will learn how to overcome fear, start

conversations that matter, and see what not to do with your

business card. So get out of your chairs and get ready to move!

It’s time to Make the Connection!

The Language of Multiculturalism Will Make You a Great Leader

Presentation by Dr. Richard Stevens In today’s world, great leaders must recognize and value

diversity in the workplace. This session explores issues of

power and privilege as they tie to microaggressions and bias,

and how strong leaders can foster individuals’ growth, create

a sense of belonging to increase creativity, ownership, and

productivity in a work setting. Participants begin to explore

how everyday words and phrases, institutional policies, and

social norms can impact work environments.

Presentation Topics о Understand power and privilege

о Understand microaggressions: what they are, their impact,

and how to address them

о Create a sense of belonging in the workplace for both

employees and clients

“Great leaders must recognize and value diversity

in the workplace.”
