The interactive Beatles Experience and Rave On: The Buddy Holly Experience), audiences are given the opportunity to vote, through the power of their applause, for the songs and music they want to hear. Rock Legends' musical choices take audiences on a journey from the 50s rock and roll of Elvis, Buddy, and Patsy Cline, to the psychedelic 60s of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Janis Joplin. They'll hit the groove of the

70s with the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and the piano men - Billy and Elton and even dabble in the music of the 80s with the likes of Tom Petty, U2 and more! Rock Legends takes on the personality and taste of the audience making each show unique!

Tips for Managing Conflict in the Workplace

Conflict, arguments, and change are natural parts of our lives, as well as the lives of every agency and organization. Learning to deal with that conflict, in a healthy way, is crucial. Misunderstandings and miscommunications, if left unchecked, can contribute to decreased morale and productivity - conditions which often intensify during periods of budget cuts and increased staff workloads. The impact of these circumstances is compounded by a natural human resistance to change. When handled in a respectful and positive way, conflict provides an opportunity for growth, ultimately strengthening the bond between staff members.

Avoiding the Cultural "Bumps" - The Culture of Workplace Bullying and Harassment

In recent years, we have seen a rise in incidences of workforce bullying and harassment. Bullying can be covert or overt and takes on a wide variety of forms. Workplace bullying, like childhood bullying, has individuals or groups using persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior against a co-worker or subordinate. This bullying can be verbal or nonverbal; psychological or physical; abuse or humiliation. While often subtle, bullying or harassment incidents frequently stem from cultural differences. With changing demographics and increased diversity in our organizations; race, ethnicity, language, accents, religion, age and sexual orientation, are often at the root of the bullying. Organizations are often confronted with situations of a cultural nature that can often prove "sticky" to handle. Responses to these situations not only affect employee relations and staff morale; but can lead to litigation. This interactive workshop will explore real life workplace scenarios and their origins, while exploring resolutions.

When: Tuesday, March 3, 2015, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
