topic overview:

Leadership and teamwork are vital to any organization's success.  But effective leadership and teamwork are part art, part science. 

The Minnesota Council for Quality is pleased to welcome Julie Delene, founder and principal of Move As One LLC, to our March 4 program, "Embodied Leadership: Lessons Learned from Ballroom Dance." 

In an entertaining and informative way, Julie presents and explores the lessons of competitive ballroom dancing where leadership and teamwork are vital to success.  Using ballroom dance as a metaphor, Julie presents ideas that can be put to use in a practical manner for improving leadership and team abilities within an organization.  Julie engages all group members to learn techniques to be more present, gain clarity in direction, put heart emotion in motion, and support cooperative teamwork.

This discussion is designed to help business leaders and their teams to co-create working relationships that are energized, mutually aligned, goal directed, internally accountable, extremely satisfying and astoundingly effective. The Move As One process unleashes the extraordinary creative and productive power of the team by engaging and renewing its leader(s) and members in a co-creation process built on the principles of Presence, Purpose, Passion and Partnership. Such teams “over-achieve” almost effortlessly as traditional interpersonal barriers and employee-company disconnects fall by the wayside, and members’ true creative and leadership potentials are unleashed.

The discussion is from 8:00-9:00 a.m. on Mar 4 (networking and continental breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m.) at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC), 1501 Hennepin (15th and Hennepin), downtown Minneapolis, Room L3000 (Wheelock-Whitney Library). 

Admission to PIN is FREE for Council members; $15 for partner organizations; $30 for the public.

topic overview:

What would be the impact on your time, focus, and productivity if your best employees decided to leave tomorrow? Today, the best and brightest workers are looking for organizations that know how to support and nurture highly engaged, fully committed workers. In fact, recent surveys have found that over 50% of highly engaged workers will be looking for new positions after the current recession lifts. The reality is that most managers spend over 80% of their time with the least engaged employees while their most engaged people are left alone to do the bulk of the work. Engaged workers need engaged managers.

So, how do you stop your top performers from leaving? And more importantly, how do you support their desire to have an impassioned work life that has meaning and purpose?

The Minnesota Council for Quality is pleased to welcome Jack Mateffy, principal of PassionWerx, to our March 10 program, "How to Lead Engaged Workers."  Jack will show you how to keep and support your best and brightest people -- the people you can’t afford to lose.  PassionWerx has unique process -- involving playing cards that include dozens of factors that drive professional and personal passion -- which helps people identify what really gives them passion.  This session will help participants identify their own passions, which can lead to increased engagement at work, at home, and in everyday life.  It can also lead to insights that improve your workers' engagement.  

The discussion is from 8:00-9:00 a.m. on Mar 10 (networking and continental breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m.) at Metro State University, 700 E 7th Street, downtown St. Paul.
