Can you relate to any of these?

• You leave work exhausted and more behind,
• you’re juggling so many different things that any minute you may drop them all,
• you are both the project manager, developer and entire team on most of your projects except for the occasional other who never returns your emails,

There is no end in sight to the insanity…

The current state of frustration in our workplaces is killing productivity. It’s easy to deliver activity without business value because there is no time to prioritize.

Join Lou to hear about organizing and prioritizing your individual scalability. Get stuff done and be more effective. It can be done.

Empowerment is the process of enabling people to think and act in autonomous ways, using their abilities to achieve personal success and maximizing their contribution to the organization.

Empowerment is not something you can bestow on another person; people already possess the power to use their knowledge and skills to perform well. Empowerment is about letting that power out.

This webinar takes empowerment beyond the buzzword, teaching you how to power up your organization and to power up yourself.

It is designed to help you:

• Identify the symptoms of a disempowering organization
• Assess your readiness to create an empowering organization
• Recognize and remove barriers to empowerment
• Create an environment that fosters the ability for employees to empower themselves
• Apply strategies and techniques to empower yourself

This is a 1 hour seminar and attendees will be awarded 1 PDU for participating

In our society, technology continues to rapidly outpace our culture’s ability to keep pace. From the challenges of internet taxation to privacy concerns brought on by Facebook and Google, legal and ethical practices lag seriously behind the pace of the technology. The inherent necessary changes cause significant problems and challenges.

In this web seminar ASPE will discuss the legal and professional challenges brought about by internet marketing’s empowerment of personal brand development. It is astonishing how fast and effectively someone can gain near instant creditability when building and maintaining a personal brand. But with everything good comes a bad. The bad in this case revolves around employees. Contractors have no issues in this matter, however, with employees comes employment law and issues of work product ownership. Along with this come issues of loyalty and intent. Both these issues can put the employee in a precarious position.

ASPE will cover the issue of loyalty and intent when building a personal brand and will also discuss some basic legal precedents that are out there, such as how employment law and work product ownership can potentially increase the risk involved in personal brand development. Finally ASPE will look to the future and what may ultimately happen long term in this area.

In the end, both employees and employers need to understand that personal brand development is real. It is possible, but it involves risk to both parties.
