EXECUTIVE COACH PROUD TO PRESENT LEADERSHIP SKILLS SEMINAR AND KEYNOTE ON COMMUNICATING WITH X GENERATION AT ROTARY LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

It was a real honor for me, a Rotarian of 16 years, to be asked to present at the Rotary Leadership Conference in Battle Ground, Washington.

Back to the basics--proved to be a great way to tackle this complex subject. It was interesting, I looked up "leadership" in Webster's Dictionary and this is what it said,"The quality of a leader: capacity to lead." Real helpful!!!!!

After some thought, I decided to outline eight key traits that contribute to the development of a real leader that is respected by his/her employees. By using examples, I was able to keep the audience with me and soon they were contributing their great information.

The question was asked how does one develop character? My answer was over a period of time that you are honest/truthful, dependable and your actions match your words. One of the participants said "I have another truth pill to add to the equation" -- when you make a mistake admit it and ask for help. This response is one of the reasons I enjoy presenting....people have so many great things to add from their experiences.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:

It seems that one has to be very careful with her wireless connections when traveling. Most hotels have a fixed rate, yet, now there are popping up connections that profess to be able to have you connect for as low as $1.95 per day. Often these services are merely scams set up to get your credit card information. It is best to stick with hotel charges.
