Some of the can’t-miss sessions will include:

• Presenting and Communicating with Impact and Persuading with Ease: Craig Valentine, World Champion of Public Speaking, will give you the top tools to keep your audiences on the edge of their seats and influence them to take action. Whether communicating with an audience of 1 of 1000, you will pick up tools to motivate, inspire and confidently deliver your message in a memorable way.
• The Ten Families of Risk: Everything we do in life involves a level of risk- and the same is true with what you do professionally. Since we do thousands of different things at work- how can you possibly start to “Recognize” the real risks you face. In this session, Gordon puts all the “risks” you face into ten families. This makes the “Recognition”, “Prioritization” (what is important now) and “Mobilization” (doing something to change outcomes) approach to addressing risks proactively so we can reduce exposure from that given risk.
• Realistic De-Escalation: William J. Lewinski will present strategies and techniques to improve one’s ability to work with persons in distress by establishing control, enhancing skills to establish contact, build rapport, and gain influence to achieve a successful outcome. In addition, this session addresses the rhetoric prevalent in today’s emotionally charged atmosphere and unbiasedly focuses on the proven scientific realities surrounding human behavior as they apply to efforts to de-escalate situations.
• The Joint Commission (TJC) Presentation on Workplace Violence Prevention Standards: Hear directly from The Joint Commission experts that developed the new Workplace Violence Prevention Requirements. Antigone E. Kokalias, MBA, MSN, RN, TJC Project Director and James Kendig, MS, CHSP, HEM, TJC, Field Director, Surveyor Management and Development Accreditation and Certification Operations, will share key concepts used to develop the new workplace violence prevention requirements. In addition, The Joint Commission will address the specific requirements and cover how the TJC would survey these new requirements.
