About the Presentations:

7 Problem Solving Strategies

We all Solve Problems on a daily basis - in fact, if it wasn't for problems to solve - most of us wouldn't have jobs. But how good are we at solving problems? Based upon my experience, most of us tend to jump into a problem with both feet and seldom do much thinking or analysis before we start wrestling a problem to the ground.

In this session we look at some very simple, yet powerful ways, to approach a problem. We provide a few ways to sneak up on a solution, rather than charging at it. In short? How to think differently once you discover the old ways aren't working!

Power of Acknowledgement

The Age of Enlightenment changed the way mankind thought about life, culture and human relationships. In her evocative new book, The Power of Acknowledgment, Judith W. Umlas unleashes the concept of an Age of Acknowledgment we can all help bring about.

In a time of celebrity worship and self-absorption, Judith’s well-reasoned and heart-felt appeal is so counterculture as to be revolutionary. Imagine, as does the author, people acknowledging each other’s humanity, accomplishments, talents and wisdom on a continuous basis. It might just catch on. And wouldn’t that be something!
