Workloads get heavier and timelines get tighter. As stress increases, you and your employees edge

yet distinct, syndromes will allow you to take the right actions to prevent burnout, disengagement, and
ineffectiveness.

generations to be successful while still getting the work done!

under your skin? And what if they’re your clients, patients, or coworkers? Might YOU be a difficult
person?! Discover how to keep yourself sane and secure with a still-sunny disposition.
Topic: “Professional Demeanor, Attitude, Dress & Boundaries ”
Speaker: Tom Nikirk

important part of their individual contribution to the success of your business. This session will
provide insight and training on various soft skills that are valuable to both you and your employees.
Topic: “Supervision Essentials”
Speaker: Paul Spindel

Many of us were promoted into positions of supervision with little or no training about how to “be” a
supervisor. We’re placed in the awkward role of now supervising some of our friends/peers. In this
workshop you will learn some of the basic tools necessary to help you be successful as a supervisor.
