BUILDING YOUR BRAND

Designed after Stevens’ book, “Professional Presence: A Four-Part Guide to Building Your Personal Brand”, this session takes a comprehensive look at the importance of your personal brand, how to achieve the brand that you want and how that brand ties into your career. Professional Presence teaches “soft skills” – one of the biggest factors in professional success, yet seldom taught in corporate training. This session delivers a step-by-step program to develop these soft-skills necessary for career advancement that we call “The P4’s of Personal Branding” and includes:

• Protocol – Etiquette Overview
• Professional Presentations
• People Skills
• Personal Image


BIO: Peggy Noe Stevens

LSHRM Monthly meeting and Workshop-August 13, 2013

Workshop Presenters:

Topic: New Hires - Getting it Right from the Start: A bad employee can cause many issues in a company, most of them unpleasant. For example, hiring one bad employee can result in poor overall productivity, low morale and even lawsuits. You will find that HR spends 90% of its time on 10% of employees, most of who should not have been hired in the first place. Thus, initial hiring decisions can the most the most important ones companies make. This program will discuss how to best position yourself to make good hiring decisions to hopefully avoid the consequence of bringing on bad employees.

Strategic HR - The Normal Play Book Won’t Get You There Keynote

This session will identify the top six areas Human Resources needs to change in order to gain credibility and prevent eroding HR's effectiveness.  Learn what management (the customers) really wants from HR and how to astound them regarding what HR can bring to the table.  Look at contributing in several very different ways so HR is seen as a real asset to their organization.  Participants can become the future of HR by adjusting their current mindset and re-aligning all that they do in order to deliver what their organizations need today...and a decade from now.

 

Participants will:

 

• Change their mind set about what initiatives HR should pursue;
• Review business/organizational trends and statistics that underscore the need for a different type of HR in the future;
• Focus on talent management and skill development;
• Pursue initiatives that are specifically tailored for the long-term needs of their organizations;
• Use benchmarking as a beginning to formulating strategy, not as a final work product;
• Take risks; and
• Really understand what it means to learn about the “business” of their organizations.

 

 Once Upon a Time - Using Story Telling to Build Core Values, Communicate Ethics, Inspire Teamwork and Develop Positive Culture! - Workshop

Since the beginning of time, human beings have employed story telling as a means to build a common sense of purpose among groups or communities as well as to illustrate complex concepts.  When it is done properly, this powerful management tool can be used to increase teamwork, to move groups in a specific direction or to make individuals resilient when the mission or task becomes difficult.  Learn how to use imagery to connect with employees and coworkers on a deeper, emotional level rather than just a conceptual one.  Mine the most powerful aspects of your organization’s culture or your management style in order to use it as a branding or marketing tool both internally and externally for your organization.

 

Participants learn to:

• Develop and coach other employees with effective workplace feedback scenarios;
• Stimulate creative business thinking using humor; Change the way they express themselves so that it dramatically improves employee engagement;
• Assist employees in embracing change as well as understanding and accomplishing the business goals of the organization;
• Build culture, core values and ethics by using true workplace stories; and  Recruit strategic talent needed in order to sustain future growth.

Do you have stacks of important documents at your home that you no longer need?  Old check stubs and bank reconciliations, old tax forms complete with all the backup information…and no place to get them shredded.  Now is your chance. 

LSHRM is providing an opportunity for you to bring all of your old items that need to be shredded to the MAY LSHRM meeting at the University Club at U of L.  The A Paper Shredding Truck will be available from 10:30 – 12:30. 

Paper, CDs, floppy disks are acceptable.  No problem with spiral bound items, file clasps, paper clips. You can bring your documents in any type of container (bag, box, etc.).  The cost to you will be a donation to the SHRM Foundation of $5.00 per box or bag (banker box size and garbage bag size).  Oversized boxes and bags will be priced at the time of shredding. 

REMEMBER – this is a win/win…you get rid of these important documents that have been sitting around your house and SHRM foundation gets a donation.  We will be able to take cash – small bills only please or checks made out to LSHRM on site.  Receipts for your donations will be available.

Leadership Louisville - Application are open for the 35th class

Louisville, Kentucky (March 4, 2013) – Today marks the opening of applications for the 35^th Anniversary Leadership Louisville Class.  Since 1979, Leadership Louisville has ensured that the community’s most influential and esteemed leaders are knowledgeable about issues, well networked and passionate about the success of the region.  Many of the most dynamic leaders from all fields apply each year for the 10-month experience and only about 55 are selected to build a class representative of the community.  Applications are open through April 26, 2013.  For more information, contact Jennifer Stevens at (502) 561-5231 or jstevens@leadershiplouisville.org.

“As the oldest leadership organization in Kentucky as well as the largest, we’ve graduated over 6,000 community leaders,” said Cynthia Knapek, president of the Leadership Louisville Center.  “The Leadership Louisville program is our signature program that inspires participants with a sense of ownership in a vibrant future for our region.  Now is the time for leaders to apply for the class and join some of our community’s most prominent trustees.”

About Leadership Louisville:

Leadership Louisville is a transformational experience for both the participants and the organization they serve.  Class members commit one day a month to exploring the community and discovering what makes it distinctive, including government, education, economic development, social services and the arts.  Throughout the 10-month program, participants go on exclusive tours and have hands-on experiences, all with area leaders who take on our community’s biggest challenges every day.  Armed with new knowledge, connections and perspectives, Leadership Louisville graduates are prepared to take their places as effective community leaders.  See a list of over 30 years of Leadership Louisville graduates.  Visit www.leadershiplouisville.org/leadership-louisville/ for more program details.

Quotes from Leadership Louisville graduates:

“Beyond a course, event or even an experience, Leadership Louisville created an ongoing momentum that has impacted my sense of connection in our city, changed the way I approach my role as a business owner and raised the awareness of my responsibility in Louisville.”   Mark Hogg, LL ’12, Founder and CEO of WaterStep

“Leadership Louisville helped me connect with other professionals in Louisville while exploring many ‘new to me’ aspects of the city. I gained new friends, new knowledge and a renewed sense of responsibility to make our community better.”  Elaine M Gravatte, LL ’12, Senior Vice President of Operations, D.D. Williamson

 
“Being new to the community, Leadership Louisville was a great way for me to get to know the region and build a larger network.  I took away better knowledge of Louisville’s strengths and the challenges we face, as well as optimism for our future because of the work my classmates are doing to make things even greater.” Tom Partridge, LL ’12, President & Chief Executive Office, Fifth Third Bank, Kentucky

About the Leadership Louisville Center:

Created in 1979, the Leadership Louisville Center is the region’s most valuable resource for leadership development and civic engagement.  Its mission is to grow and connect a diverse network of leaders who serve as catalysts for a world-class community through dynamic programming and strong community connections.
