Leading Personalities

Terri Bruce, Terri Bruce Learning & Development

The dictionary defines personality as:  the total of someone's attitudes, interests, behavioural patterns, emotional and social traits.  In other words, your personality is how you put yourself out there to the world.  It is how others perceive you. Is that important for leadership effectiveness? I think so. Your personality is crucial to how you enlist support. In this session we will explore personality styles as they relate to leadership; the challenges and benefits of each; and how to maximize your effectiveness without compromising who you are.

Brenda Martin, Niagara Women’s Enterprise Centre

Do you have employees on your work team who are experiencing performance challenges?  In this workshop, discover and practice ways that an evidence-based Intervention (Positive Behavioral Support) can enhance workplace morale and performance within your organization. Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) is an applied science that initially evolved within the field of developmental disabilities and emerged from three major sources: applied behavior analysis, the normalization/inclusion movement, and person-centered values.  The original goal of PBS was to assist students who are experiencing learning and behavioural challenges to improve academic and personal success within the school system.

PBS is a scientifically supported intervention approach which has tremendous applications in the workplace.   The primary goal of PBS in the workplace is to assist an individual¡¦s lifestyle to evolve in a direction that enables all relevant stakeholders (e.g., organizations, supervisors, co-workers, human resource departments and individual employee) to support the enjoyment of an improved quality of work and personal life.

Self Limiting Beliefs, the Inner Game

Kathleen Mulligan, Action Hypnosis

A self limiting belief can hold anyone back from achieving goals - just like a locked door can prevent entering a room. The door can¡¦t be opened just by mind power, but unlike the locked door, beliefs can change. What is a belief? Clearly a belief is just an idea we have about something. That idea has taken hold in our minds so we feel certain that it is true. To change a self limiting belief, to believe anything is possible...is possible.

Experience what it is like to allow yourself to be creative, wonderful, amazing and limitless. Learn new skills to bring about positive change and growth in your personal life, family lives and business. Be a model of change. Change your self limiting beliefs with the power of your mind.
