Leadership Forum

Great companies create a great vision of the future and then challenge their teams to be aware of the things they must work on to achieve that vision. As everyone in the company becomes aware of the fundamental business issues of market, teamwork, training, systems, cost control and rewards, a long-term strategy will be developed with a culture of energized individuals.

Learn how to make this happen at "The Important Work We Do," a daylong workshop with Jim Paluch of JP Horizons, on Thursday, July 11 at the Valley Oak Event Center in Geneseo.

Jim will help you understand what it is you do and why it matters. Then you'll use that new perspective in a creative brainstorming session with your fellow NYSNLA members, where best practices can be shared and better practices discovered, Jim will help you find ways to capture the purpose and vision of your company and apply it to creating business, recruiting and retraining people, and continuing success in the profession.

The program will cover:

• “What is it you do, anyway?” Understanding the meaningful work that we do, energy, inspiration and a driving purpose for why we are in business will keep a company thriving into the future.
• Thinking differently and creating ideas to put into action. In a creative brainstorming session where best practices can be shared and better practices discovered, Jim will help you find ways to capture the purpose and vision of your company and apply it to your success strategy.
• Creating organizational excitement – Energizing your team. Great companies create a great vision of the future and then challenge their teams to be aware of the things they must work on to achieve that vision.
• Taking action. Jim will guide you in creating an action plan to implement one of the ideas you heard throughout the day and systematically work toward accomplishing a specific result for your career, sales, leadership, business or life.
