Creating, Cultivating, and Sustaining a Culture of Inclusion Is Everyone’s Charge

Leadership Reset:  Lead Yourself to Better Lead Others 

As we move through our careers and life, we often try to figure out ways to make changes to better ourselves. We tend to gravitate towards New Year’s resolutions or lofty goals that would produce massive results but also require massive change. These look great on paper but are only executable given perfect circumstances. The changes we make to achieve our goals aren’t always sustainable for the long haul and when reality hits, our motivation wanes. This presentation shares effective strategies that produce meaningful change by understanding boundaries, exploring curiosity, digging into our emotions, creating triggers that help us be more mindful, and living with intention. Learn how to Live a Great Story by exploring what you want to learn, experience, and accomplish in this life and how you want to feel while you are doing it.

Emotional Display Rules:
How Gender Stereotypes Impact Female Leaders

The ability to control emotional expression can have a direct effect on a woman’s ability to advance into leadership positions (Brescoll, 2016). This workshop will educate participants on the current literature surrounding the topic of emotional display rules. This topic is important because women often must show up in public venues with a certain look; particularly, the way they display facial expressions. Arguably, when women leaders are seated at the table, they often must refrain from showing too much emotion to be perceived as credible leaders. The focus of this workshop is to armor women with perspectives from observers who may cast them in an emotionally negative way and to empower women to continue to choose to show up in an intentional way.

    Giving and Receiving Effective Criticism…Why Are We So Bad at It?

    Dr. Angela S. von Trytek
    Supervisory Special Agent
    Drug Enforcement Administration

    Experienced senior management investigator with diverse background in academia, criminal justice and global investigations. Managed, directed, and oversaw high impact, complex federal law enforcement investigations. Senior level leader who is committed to  emotional intelligence and strategic visionary thinking. Honorably retired U.S. Army veteran. Licensed Commercial Pilot. Published author "The Study of the Relationships between Authentic Leadership and Job Satisfaction among Women in Federal Law Enforcement" 

    The objective of this workshop is to present perspectives for line officers, agents, managers, and leaders to understand the performance appraisal process with a focus on the development of interpersonal skills for leader and follower success. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) defines the five component processes for performance management, which are planning, monitoring, developing, rating, and rewarding. Managers and leaders need to be articulate in establishing their agencies’ performance standards and equally competent in communicating those standards to their employees. Improving our own self-awareness helps us to learn criticism management. How we respond to criticism versus how we react to it adds to our capacity for success and helps us define what it really takes to lead.

    Offices of Inspector General:  What They Are and Why They Rock! We may become your new best friend!!!

    Many individuals do not understand the breadth and scope of the work of OIGs, or are even aware of the types of investigative work OIGs become involved with, or the assistance they provide to investigative personnel. An investigation may start with an individual or a group but could blow up to a nationwide, public facing or emotive issue.  This session will provide greater recognition or the work OIGs undertake in areas such as fraud, waste and abuse, ethical and financial integrity, administrative wrong doing, contractor and personnel improprieties, data integrity, and more.

    This impressive Panel consists of Inspector General representatives from multiple agencies who will speak specifically about their work. A Q&A session will follow.  Join our Workshop on Monday, August 14, 2023, from 1:00-2:30 PM in Salon J at the Tampa Marriott Waterside.

    DEI Specialist & Certified Life, Career and Goal Setting Coach

    Women in the workforce are booked and busy – at work and home. Work/life balance isn’t realistic. It is never balanced! Life sometimes just gets in the way! Even when it doesn’t, many of us find ourselves overwhelmed with societal norms and social media/TikToks of women who seem to have it all together. The pursuit of perfection has led many women to throw their hands up in frustration when they are faced with preparing a resume for that coveted promotional opportunity that finally comes available. This workshop was created to give women the tools, confidence, and motivation to get in the game. After this session, attendees will receive handouts, participate in group activities, and benefit from the presenter’s verbal presentation detailing just how close you are to achieving your goals! You just need guidance and actionable steps to get you there -- so you can live the life you imagined.
