"Effective Networking"

Old Saybrook Chamber membership!
Meeting people at business breakfasts, seminars, school board meetings,

guidelines for effective networking and a unique way to remember them.
Participants will then practice their new skills with each other in a
"live fire" exercise that's guaranteed to have the room buzzing!

2008 Nurse Manager Leadership Academy
"Written Communication"
and
"Presentation Skills"
People at all levels of
management are increasingly called upon to craft clear and relevant
communications in written and presentation form. Many managers and
professional staff readily acknowledge their frustration with these
tasks, often feeling ill-prepared to perform.
Managers often say that
writing & presentation:
-
Are difficult or daunting
-
Don't always achieve the desired ends
-
Take too much time
-
Are ignored by the intended audience, and
-
Leave the manager feeling frustrated
Good writing and
presentation skills are effective tools of management. With the growing
emphasis on teamwork and patient safety, they also become essential to
help keep teams coordinated and focused on critical tasks.
Participants will learn to
plan and create their communications using tools that assist in creating
clear and relevant messages. The process starts with understanding one's
audiences and assuring that the message is clear. Participants will be
better prepared to write and build presentations using proven tools to
make their task easier and more effective.

Executive Compensation Strategies
Compensation can be one of the thorniest issues human
resources professionals will face over the course of their career.
Compensation spans organizational strategic and tactical goals as well
as personal fulfillment needs. The compensation packages for key people
can be a tool for achieving success or a source of contention and
bitterness. How compensation is handled is a strategic issue and
reflects the vision and values of an organization.
The Essex Group, a
regional consulting firm specializing in strategy and organizational
effectiveness, will present an overview of executive compensation
principles and practices that can help untangle some of the many
complexities, such as:
-
Linking compensation to the organization's
strategy and mission
-
Attracting and retaining excellent talent
-
Keeping benefit programs competitive and cost
effective
-
Rewarding excellent performance
-
Positioning your packages against your
competition
-
Communication and perceptions about compensation.
Come join other Chamber
members in learning more about:
Executive Compensation Strategies.
