Presenting Your Best Self

Connecting and developing relationships today is two-fold. Not only is it about in-person interactions, or networking, it’s also about your professional social media presence (think about all of those LinkedIn connections). Whether you’re face-to-face or on Facebook, it’s important to put your best self forward.

Join us for a night of all things networking as we talk about and practice tips and tricks to master your professional presence. Learn more about:

  • The art of networking
  • Beyond basics: How to take your networking to the next level
  • Managing a professional social media presence

Communication & Conflict Resolution (New Date)

Conflicts often arise when communications are misaligned or fail between parties. Identification of communication styles and the various types of conflict that may result is essential to a positive corporate culture. Unresolved conflict can be as detrimental to the workplace as a virus is to a computer.

With the help of Dr. Jim Mills from Niagara University, we’ll be talking about:

  • What is conflict?
  • Five styles of dealing with conflict
  • Recognizing and overcoming conflict

How To Be A Leader

What defines a leader? Is it the ability to inspire and motivate a team? Is it a natural quality that only some people possess? Is leadership something that you can learn and develop? One thing is for sure: Leadership definitions and qualities vary. One of the best ways to identify and develop—or improve—your leadership skills is to learn from a successful leader.

Join us as we hear from Kevin Clarke, a highly accomplished international senior executive, thought leader, and member of the Niagara University Board of Trustees. Kevin will teach us 7 steps and 12 takeaways to leadership.

Following Kevin’s address, you’ll get to participate in a panel discussion on leadership with Kevin and Mary Borgognoni, the Senior Vice President of Operations and Finance at Niagara University. The panel will be moderated by Jaclyn Rossi, the Associate Director of Alumni Engagement & Government Affairs at Niagara University.
