CONFERENCE THEME & SPEAKERS
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CAREER
MORNING SESSION:
The Emerging Administrative Leader
Presented by Heather Woody
Personal & Professional Success Coach and President of Heather Woody Unlimited
All members of any organization hold the power to “win it” or “lose it” for the company. Every member has the opportunity to emerge as a great leader at any given moment. So, why don’t most Administrative Professionals know this or even take action on this leadership opportunity? The answers are as different as we are individually. Now is the time for all Administrative Professionals to step up into their role wholeheartedly, and lead their organization to success.
Participants will learn:
- To understand their key role in their organization as a Leader.
- To clarify what it takes to be able to lead others in any moment.
- To apply the four core strategies that align great leadership in an organization.
- To rethink this opportunity as a leader and find a new way to step forward!

This year's conference will again feature a business showcase of over 30 exhibitors including companies who offer products and services office professionals rely on every day. We are excited about several new exhibiting companies joining us for the first time in 2010.

AFTERNOON SESSION:
In Administrative Professionals We Trust: Communicating to Build Relationships
Presented by Dr. Jayne Witte
Founder & President of Wits About You and
Associate Professor of Communications Studies at University of Northern Iowa
Trust is a fragile yet amazingly powerful force in business, as it is the key to strong coworker and customer relationships. Administrative professionals, at the hub of those relationships, need to build and maintain trust through open, effective communication if teamwork is to be successful.
Participants will learn how to:
-
Identify and avoid common trust-wreckers
-
Communicate in ways that earn and keep others’ respect
-
Create an environment of positive attitudes and feelings
-
Recognize the symbolic impact of the words we use
Note: 5 CPS and CAP Recertification Points have been approved by IAAP headquarters for this event.
