People Don’t Leave Jobs – They Leave Bosses – Kim Ratz • 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
The most important asset of any organization is: your employees and volunteers. Employ/engage people who want to thrive, and great outcomes are likely; employ/engage people who lack skills or motivation, and outcomes are predictably less. But recruiting thrivers is only half the effort; RETAINING thrivers is important too! Because if the boss is a bozo, your best & brightest will even leave a job they otherwise love if they know they can do better working for someone else! This workshop gives bosses an opportunity to look at several successful/best practices that help leaders retain your best and brightest people, and not run them out the door!

Playing Nice in the Sandbox – Kim Ratz • 11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Even in your profession, sometimes lines get crossed, and toes feel stepped on. Since you can’t change anyone else, the best you can do is: Do your best, and Be a positive influence on others. This workshop helps you better understand “what’s really going on” when “stuff happens” at work by examining some common style differences among people you interact with — coworkers, and constituents. After identifying some of your own communication styles and traits, you’ll practice ways to reframe what could be perceived as “conflicting styles” into “complementing styles.” By better managing the many style differences you encounter every day, you keep your sandbox a great place to work, and to serve your constituents.
