Bluegrass SWE,
Please feel free to extend this invitation to your
colleagues. As always, we welcome and encourage both men and
women to participate in SWE events. The guest speaker we have
scheduled for November is absolutely phenomenal. I had the
good fortune of participating in her leadership seminar at
the SWE National Convention this past summer. The leadership
seminar included the most pertinent and helpful, specific
tools for personal and professional development that I have
encountered yet. She shared many golden nuggets of wisdom on
interpersonal relations, leadership, teamwork, etc. I expect
the topic that she has prepared for us to be equally rewarding.
In order to comfortably accommodate the large number of people
that I am expecting for this event, I am asking that you RSVP
to me in advance.
Thanks very much for your continued interest.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM. . .
"Passive Men and Wild, Wild Women:
How to make our differences assets, not liabilities"
presented by author, speaker, emmy award winner Kare Anderson
Men aren't born passive and women aren?t born wild. We
often evoke those styles in each other, however, when conflict
escalates. Gut instincts expert, Kare Anderson describes five
ways that women and men literally see situations differently.
She offers verbal and nonverbal strategies for maintaining
open communication and building genuine relationships that can
endure and even be strengthened by the comfortable airing of
differences.
For example, Anderson describes how conflict and anger
often have different situational origins, timing, duration and
meaning for men and women. She also shows how we often seek
different kids of group interaction, rewards and
reinforcements. Anderson describes how other differences such
as age, ethnicity and even sive contribute to misperceptions.
Anderson's approach is comfortable and often humorous.
Her ultimate message is exciting: those people who can establish
enduring credibility and trust with the widest range of people will
become increasingly essential to an organization.
