Principled Negotiation and Negotiating with the Unprincipled

Negotiating is not something you do just for big projects or purchases; it is a part of everyday life in a way that many people underappreciate.  Join this talk to better understand the concepts of negotiation and to learn strategies to arrive at well negotiated agreements.  Just in case you have to negotiate with someone who wants to win at all costs, Michael will also talk about games people play, how to identify them, and how to steer the discussions back toward good solutions.

Managing and Caring for Affected Staff During Disasters: Understanding the "H" in Human Resources

We’ve all come to expect that disasters (both natural and manmade) will disrupt our daily operations. Staffing can often exacerbate these events. Learn how to plan for replacing affected staff, child care, pet care and elder care (hint: it’s all about collaboration!). 

This session will also cover how to establish humanitarian aid for staff. All too often in hurricane, wildfire and tornado season staff members lose homes and loved ones; can we, as employers and colleagues, really afford to look the other way? Learn how to keep working staff safety focused and how to help staff on the sidelines.
