This presentation is sponsored by the Denver Federal Center Chapter of Federally Employed Women in partnership with Rushford & Associates.

Whether you work in the public sector (federal, state, county, city) or the private sector, your workplace is in turmoil. Layoffs, furloughs, pay freezes, benefits reduction, and downsizing loom. Costs are up, production is down. What can you do in all of this uncertainty? Whether you are a leader of many, or just yourself, it’s going to take everyone working together to make things better. Where do you fit in all this? How will the state-of-the-state affect your long term career goals and personal aspirations?

There’s only one thing you can be sure of, and that’s YOU! How ready, willing and able are you to do what it takes to succeed in the midst of chaos?

To affect positive change, it takes positive people. Have you positioned yourself for success?

This 4-hour session will provide participants with a look at how to create opportunities to take charge of your job, your outlook, and yourself!

It’s a new year and a time when we all start thinking of what we can do better this year than last. Do we need more of something, or less of it? Do we need to start doing, or stop doing? What will it take to get you there? With so much going on in Washington, what can you do to not only survive, but thrive? Before finalizing your 2011 blueprint, why not take the opportunity to reenergize and expand your thinking by attending this session.

In just four hours, Debra Benton, will show you how professional success requires more than capability alone: it requires professional presence. She’ll provide examples to help you stand out from the crowd by being memorable, impressive, credible, genuine, trusted, and liked. She’ll show you how effective people manage their attitudes to fit in and move ahead.

The New York Times says of Benton’s presentations, “Her work is aimed at giving people control over their destiny.” Diane Sawyer, anchor of ABC World News said, “What Benton teaches makes the difference.”
