Monday, January 15, 2018 Workshop B / Room 101 The Ripple Effect — How to Get and Keep Your Employees Engaged Jack Klemeyer, Grow Your Business Coaching 1:00 - 4:00 pm To get people moving, all together, and in the same direction, you have to understand human behavior and motivation. In this popular workshop session from the Secrets of Successful Motivation and Engagement series, participants will get all the tools they need to understand and implement a cogent strategy to build unstoppable momentum with fully engaged team players. Included in the session are strategies and tactics that provide the basis of your leadership skills and how to effectively build a dynamic team.

In this workshop, participants will learn …

• How beliefs and attitudes are created in the first place and how subtle changes make huge differences.

• An effective strategy for converting un-resourceful mind frames into resourceful ways of thinking.

• How to read and understand the natural behavior styles people exhibit and how to use that knowledge in influencing and leading people.

• Using Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) strategies to recognize language patterns people unknowingly use every day that will allow you to have greater influence with them.

• A simple strategy to prevent leaders from being sucked into drama that behavior and language can cause so you can remain neutral and nonjudgmental, therefore, in control of any situation.

For no-holds-barred, powerful information that you can employ immediately, you will want to be sure to take advantage of this exceptional learning opportunity.

INEF Silent Auction Dear IGE Attendee, This year’s donations from exhibitors help fund the Indiana Nursery Scholarship Fund (INEF). INEF annually offers a scholarship to be awarded to a full-time student enrolling at Purdue University or Vincennes University in landscape horticulture.

The scholarship recipient will receive 50% installment at the beginning of their first semester. The final 50% installment will be awarded to the recipient at the beginning of their third semester provided they are still enrolled in landscape horticulture at Purdue University or Vincennes University and have achieved a “C” grade average.

The 2017 Indiana Nursery Endowment Fund aka Indiana Nursery and Landscape Association Scholarships has awarded 2 - $4,000. Scholarships for 2017. The following recipients Sara Burger from Indianapolis and Cody Cornell from Lafayette excelled in their academics at their respective schools and the INEF Board felt each were more than deserving to receive these scholarships. Each recipient will receive $2,000 each for their upcoming (2017-2018) freshmen year and as long as they retain a “C” or better GPA they will receive an additional $2000 for their (2018-2019) sophomore year, upon submitting the appropriate documentation of their GPA and horticulture major. Both recipients are enrolled at Purdue University for the upcoming fall semester with each seeking a degree in the horticultural field.

Again, many exhibitors will donate an item or their booth contents to the INEF silent auction in an effort to generate proceeds for the scholarship fund.

Auction bid tickets will be available on Tuesday at the INEF booth #102 on the trade show floor.

Thank you for supporting this worthy cause!

Sincerely,

Trade Show
