Career Pathing Seminar - It's Not What You Say, It's HOW...

Northwest Missouri State University, in conjunction with the Maryville Chamber of Commerce, invites students and employees, as well as the public, to a series of learning opportunities featuring presenters discussing workplace topics from engaging in difficult conversations and generational differences.

Six presentations are scheduled this fall for area professionals. Each presentation costs $25 for Maryville Chamber of Commerce members or $40 for non-members. Registration is available online at http://www.nwmissouri.edu/hr/trainingopps.htm.

The presentations are free to Northwest students and employees as part of the University’s Career Pathing program, which provides professional development opportunities to students interested in advancing to new levels of pay and responsibility. 

All presentations are 60 or 90 minutes long and take place in the J.W. Jones Student Union. More information about each session appears below.

“It’s Not What You Say, It’s HOW You Say It®”
Barbara Teicher, certified speaking professional, Etc Executive Training and Coaching

Tuesday, Oct. 4: 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. or 2 p.m. (60 minutes)

The way an individual says something is more important and has greater impact than words actually used. The intention behind the words people try to convey is different than the message being perceived. They are not often in sync at all.  Join international speaker, published author and business coach Barbara Teicher as she shares the secrets of the messages people are really sending.

By the end of this program, individuals will know how to diagnose situations and people where a level of discomfort exists and why, recognize the reasons for disconnects in conversations and relationships, identify the six steps of the “It’s how you say it®” principle and determine how to make a V.A.S.T. difference.
