Assessing the 3 Parts of the Human Mind
Using assessments to gain insight into
employee behaviors and facilitate team
building has become common practice.
Some companies are using assessments not
just for leadership personnel, but rather
across the entire organization. In this session
we will look at the 3 distinct parts of the
human mind, and explore the
organizational usefulness of understanding
an individual’s behaviors within each. We
will also take a brief overview of the
different assessment tools that have been
developed for each of these 3 parts of the
mind, and discuss the use and merits of
each. Assessment Instruments being
overviewed: The Meyers Briggs MBTI, the
D.I.S.C, Kolbe A, B & Career MO+ Indexes ,
and Xyte Cognofile.

Can’t We All Just Get Along?
This session will speak to the different
personalities that are found within our
organizations. Understanding these
personalities and how they work with one
another is crucial to successfully managing
and developing a cohesive team. A team
that needs a rebel, as much as it needs a
hero.

Safety Requirements and BizLibrary
OSHA / Safety Requirements are not only
important when keeping employees safe
while performing their work responsibilities,
but they are also heavily regulated. This

system that identifies which employees
need which requirements and how to
effectively track them along with their
frequencies makes the process
manageable, easy and professional.
John Gwynn, Viewpointe
From Training Event to Training On-Demand
Using Viewpointe as a case-study, this
session will trace the company’s transition in
building a training function from scratch
with limited resources. One of the keys to
success has been Viewpoint’s approach to
identifying training needs. You will see how
Viewpointe’s Organizational Need
Assessment process focused limited
resources on a big challenge. The results
have been substantial gains in staff
development and industry-leading
employee engagement. The program
proves that training does not have to be
expensive or intimidating; it can be a great
source of employee participation and
pride.

Unleash Your Inner Tyrant!
Jeff will help you become better leaders by
showing you everything you should avoid –
including how to create a culture of fear

demoralize employees, and how to stand
firm in the face of all change – before
wrapping up with a serious conversation
about the kind of leaders we should all
strive to become. Jeff will cover four main
areas of leadership – creating a healthy
corporate culture; management/employee
relations; crisis management; and change
management – Unleash Your Inner Tyrant! is
every bit as content-rich and intensively
researched as a more traditional leadership
seminar but has the added benefit of an
unparalleled delivery style that will have
you laughing the entire time you’re learning
how to become more effective leaders.

Closing the Skills Gap: A New Look at
Succession Planning Best Practices
The skills gap represents a real threat to
growth and the long-term financial health
of many organizations. Organizations in just
about every industry struggle to find the
highly skilled and talented employees they
need for growth and innovation. Succession
planning programs hold the potential to
identify internal talent who can adapt,
learn and acquire many of these hard-tofind skills, if we think about succession
planning a little differently.

From Bud to Boss – Helping New Leaders
Succeed in a Challenging New Role
The transition from bud to boss is a

and guidance they need to be successful.
Kevin Eikenberry’s keynote will outline
practical steps new supervisors can take to
face the challenges of leadership with
confidence. Be sure to stop by the
networking reception this evening to have
your book signed by Kevin!

A Roadmap to Successful Implementation – Start
at the Beginning . . . .
In this case study, you will hear how an
organization avoided a disastrous learning
program launch by asking a series of good
questions to establish the framework for the
design and subsequent implementation of a
new employee training program. Before
embarking on the launch, the program
managers learned the organization lacked some
foundational structural elements that are
prerequisites to a successful training program. By
stepping back, and starting at the very
beginning of setting up the framework for
success and asking key questions, the program is
now ready for a successful implementation.
