Topic for Tuesday September 14, 2010
"Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose"
Presenter: Debra Jarvis

Session Description:  Not understanding the difference between the roles you play and who you actually are, is the cause of many unresolved or recurring conflicts in the workplace and at home.  This program will introduce you to techniques for staying anchored, so that you can effectively engage in conflict situations without taking them personally.  It will also help you begin to articulate your personal mission (purpose) and core values in a way that helps develop alignment and continuity between your personal and professional life.  While these are essential leadership skills, they are also essential life skills.  Please join us for a morning of personal and professional self-discovery.
