2015 Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer®

March 26 - 31, 2015

Description: We each have a responsibility and the opportunity to present our ideas to our professional colleagues – bosses, peers, direct-reports – in a way that will assist them to engage with the material. Understanding our preferences in learning and communication can help us choose work that energizes us daily and helps us support the overall effort of our organizations. Participants in this course will discuss leadership in times of stress, reflect on strategies to achieve prosperous resolutions to workplace crises, and measure cognitive preferences while evaluating opportunities to build effective teams with diverse learning and communication styles. The course will open with a keynote talk that offers participants the chance to reflect on challenges that might blind-side them in the future and emphasize the importance of staying calm and authentic under pressure while leading one’s team through available options to find the best plan of action. The workshops that follow will be based on each individual’s results from the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) diagnostic (which will be provided and taken in advance of the workshop), and then will be distributed mid-way through the session. Several exercises will follow that will allow participants the opportunity to reflect upon their own working environments, personal management strategies, and professional challenges, in order to develop successful resolutions to potential crises.
