Closing Keynote:
Fostering Civility in the Workplace

Sat, Sep 29, 2018
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Speaker(s): Bob Presner | Lola Rasminsky

Location: Grand Event AB

How can we bring out the best in our colleagues – and in ourselves? How much does incivility hurt a company’s bottom line? Can one person really make positive changes that affect the whole organization? 

This interactive Beyond the Box™ workshop will create 'aha' moments for participants, by getting you to recognize how, unwittingly, you might be contributing to a lack of congeniality in your workplace. Equally participants will learn how everyone can take a leadership role in creating a civil workplace ecosystem that encourages mutual respect.

Participants in this interactive and fun 90-minute session will experience new approaches to communicating, and listening, in more positive ways. 

• Become more sensitive to body language, tone of voice, and the difference between communicating in a supportive manner, compared with an unsupportive way;
• Learn new ways of staying open to the ideas of others, by showing a more curious attitude, and by gaining the ability to 'reframe' challenges.
• Walk away from the workshop with tools and resolve to change at least one behaviour when you return to work.
