Fight the Frustration: How to Work with People Who You Drive You Crazy

Know-it-alls. Complainers. Dictators. Passive aggressives. Of course you recognize these labels – they’re the people you work with, sell to, depend on or live with. There are difficult personalities all around us, and, like it or not, we must find a way to work with them. This session, facilitated by Lorinda Schrammel, will provide practical strategies to understand and communicate with the difficult people in your life, be less of a target for their challenging behavior and learn how to bring out the best in those who have trouble doing it themselves. $20 4/11 T 11:30A - 1:00P MAIN

Gaining Confidence & Charisma

We’ve all seen people who ooze with confidence and charisma. They are secure in who they are, but they aren’t arrogant. They are self-aware, and they are generally willing to take big risks because they believe anything is possible. They acknowledge their own achievements, and they are the first to celebrate yours, too. People feel better just being around them. From the outside, it appears confidence and charisma happen with ease, and either you have them, or you don’t. The truth is both are learned behaviors that can be mastered with practice and persistence. In this session, you’ll learn how to confidently present successes and skills, develop your elevator speech and learn how to leave an impression people won’t forget. $20 4/18 T 11:30A - 1:00P SOUTH

RECHARGE: A SERIES FOR WOMEN

The Power of Moments: Why Certain Moments Have Extraordinary Impact

The first breath of fresh spring air. The last time you saw someone. The minute you knew you were destined for greatness. Defining moments shape our lives. What if instead of waiting for them to happen, we could create them? This interactive session, facilitated by Amie Haar and based on the book by Chip and Dan Heath, will teach individuals how to create defining moments. You will learn the most critical elements people recall about overall experiences, as well as how to make and commemorate transitions in your life. $20 2/09 Th 11:30A - 1:00P MAIN

Permission to Breathe

Have you ever been so emotionally exhausted that it felt like you have nothing else to give? If so, you aren’t alone. This level of heaviness isn’t relieved with a bubble bath or a walk around the block, but it’s also not possible for most women to rearrange their lives to create completely different circumstances. How do you find middle ground? This discussion-based session facilitated by Anna Irwin will help you explore strategies to determine how to let go of what isn’t working in your world and embrace the people and projects that give you room to thrive. $20 4/27 Th 11:30A - 1:00P MAIN
