Get Keyed Up
Paul Vidmar, Director of Training, Dale Carnegie Solutions
As champions, we need to work effectively with people. The first step in achieving this is for them to trust us. In my keynote presentation we will use a time tested process called The Cycle of Self-Improvement to create these habits. We will improve our memory, let people know how much we care, and experience the ultimate win-win situation. Most importantly we will have fun.

Being ... Yourself
Johnsonville
Breakout Sessions 2 and 3
How big is our tool box: do we just have one drawer or
many drawers on which to rely on for skills? How do we
choose our friends and acquaintances - do we seek to keep
them as they are and do they do the same to us? Are we
preparing ourselves for the future by looking over the
fence and seeing what is there or have we decided we
don't like that view, so are we hiding behind our fence
avoiding a future which will inevitably come anyway?
