Chris Frederiksen recently received this letter from 2020 UK member and good friend, Mark Levy.  He asked me to forward it to our Canadian members.  If you, your staff or your clients are ever in London and need some office space to check emails, send and receive faxes or even meet with clients, please give Mark a call.  His firm is centrally located in London's West End and they would be delighted to help you and your clients in any way they can.

As you know Dr. Glenn Marshall has agreed to hold a one day  "Leadership and You" workshop -  taking a hard look at your leadership style and its impact on others in your organization.  

 

Many of you enjoyed Glenn's dynamic presentation at the conference in Niagara Falls which for most of us, was short lived.   This is an opportunity to sit in on an executive MBA style presentation from one of Canada's most exciting adult educators.

 

As a compliment to the 2020 Association Glenn has made available  INSIGHT SELF Report.   This 35-50 page report is used at major Executive Development programs world-wide for leadership training and executive development and coaching.

 

The session will be very interactive, starting with the pre-requisite of taking the INSIGHT SELF REPORT on line prior to the session.The full day session will deal with the following areas of interest to you.

• Understanding HELPFUL,  FEARFUL and FORCEFUL styles and their impact on the organization

• Team Leadership - assets and Liabilities
• The link between personal style and stress
• Leadership, Power and Influence in your organization (including your client organizations)
