Negotiation Panel
THE ART OF NEGOTIATION
“Discussion Aimed At Reaching An Agreement”
-Oxford Dictionary
Often we think of negotiation as the business of a bargain, arrangement or conclusion.
This panel discussed how negotiation is also an active daily mindset of priorities and time management of our personal & professional lives. With a balance of purpose, we can gain the confidence to be empowered and fulfilled.
NEGOTIATION OF SELF, TIME & PURPOSE = EMPOWERMENT
Panel Moderator: Michelle Griffin
Panelists: Robert L. Schein, Billy Thoman, Kristen Martinez, and Valerie Powers Smith.
Network Panel
DOUBT-PROOF YOUR FUTURE: BUILD A NETWORK OF CONFIDENCE
Deliberate activity to build, reinforce and maintain relationships of trust with other people to further your goals.
Nothing kills confidence faster than doubt and nothing removes doubt faster than having an expert on speed dial. After years of working, parenting and living, we have all developed strong relationships with a diverse collection of people.
This mosaic of friends and acquaintances can be woven together to provide the expertise to remove all doubt.
