The Stakeholders' Game: Adventures with the Win/Win-Finder (Win Wenger)
Discover why that beautiful answer of yours did not become a successful solution - and find out how to salvage it and make it work. Find ways to work WITH a situation instead of trying to overpower what had been amiss in it. Solve problems inexpensively and effectively.

* Participants will understand themselves as well as the world around them, as well as most problem situations, in terms of complex homeostasis.

* Both in problem context and within themselves, participants will learn how to find, and map relationships between, their sometimes surprising sources of support and their sometimes surprising sources of opposition and resistance.

* Participants will become able to discover low-cost ways to achieving their objectives.

Creating “Full Color” Organizations (Jennifer Walker)
This exciting session is based upon the newly-published book, Full Color Living, written by Jennifer. You can learn how to live more fully self-expressive lives and find greater satisfaction and joy in the process. Reduce or eliminate 'grayness' in organizations - people who are bringing maybe 50% of themselves to work each day, whatever the reason. Find joyful engagement, help your employees become more engaged - bring yourselves fully to the organization motivated to offer your best discretionary effort.

In this program, we will review the keys to full color living and take a look at how they apply within our own lives. We will also explore guidelines for creating work environments that attract, retain and inspire their employees: “full color” organizations. A highly-engaged workforce benefits the organization through greater retention, enhanced creativity and innovation, higher productivity and increased competitiveness in the marketplace.
