The Power of Presence
with Naomi Mogard
Campus Director, Rasmussen College
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
Guardian Angels Engel Haus
5101 Kassel Ave NE, Albertville
During this session we will explore the power of being present during our interactions with family, friends, and within our careers. With today's technology, the demands of "being connected" all the time can interfere with our relationships with others. Being present goes hand-in-hand with our ability to be "everyday leaders" and empowering others to do the same. We will discuss ideas around bringing calm and peace to our stress-filled day by being present and still getting everything done.
Naomi Mogard is the Campus Director at Rasmussen College's Brooklyn Park/Maple Grove location. She is completing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at St. Mary's University, earned an MS in Educational Leadership from Saint Cloud State University, and received bachelor degrees in Individual and Family Studies and Social Work from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. Prior to her career in higher education, she worked in the K-12 school sector.
Naomi joined Rasmussen in 2008 as Academic Dean and since then has held positions of Director of Student Affairs and Campus Director. Her passion is helping to develop "everyday" leaders within the organization and our community. She takes great pride in seeing others grow both personally and professionally, guiding understanding that true leadership is not about a position or title but about influence.

North Star SHRM will be hosting a seminar titled: Changes and More Changes: New Laws; Different Directions.
It will be held at the Minnesota School of Business (11500 193rd Avenue, Elk River) on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 from 8 am to 9:30 am.

This presentation will go through some relatively recent changes and developments in employment and labor law that have come through state and federal legislation and court decisions. It will include do's and don'ts for HR professionals relative to the changes. This will also include some reflections on developing trends or stated directions taken by policy makers and enforcement.
Learning objectives are:
- Provide information on specific law changes;
- Explore court decisions or legislation rationale;
- Suggest HR compliance strategies;
This seminar will be presented by Pat O'Donnell, from Smith, Paulson, O'Donnell & Erickson, PLC in Monticello, MN.

Juris Doctor, William Mitchell College of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, 1988
B.A.,cum laude, St. Cloud State University, 1981
MSBA Certified Labor and Employment Law Specialist, 2011-present
Practice Areas: Labor and employment law and civil litigation
25 years ago when Pat O'Donnell was talking to his son's grade school class about what he did for a living, he simply said, "I solve peoples' problems." Today Pat is still doing the same thing in his practice.
Whether it's strategic diplomacy and subtle persuasion or figuratively holding his opponent's head under water, Pat's goal is to obtain results for clients, efficiently and cost-effectively. Pat's background as a Navy veteran and martial artist have instilled in him that honor, respect, professionalism and personal responsibility are paramount in dealings with others - in assisting clients, in adversarial negotiations and in the courtroom. In addition to his legal work, Pat is passionate about professional and community service. He serves and has served on many non-profit groups for many years.
