What this
seminar does!
This seminar is an investment of your time
for improving your volunteer program. We will respect your time and insure that
every moment of the seminar day will be filled with meaningful and useful
information. This information is not available anywhere else, not in books,
tapes, or other seminars. We will present examples and techniques that have
worked in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, museums, police
and fire departments, governmental agencies, a food bank and social service
settings.
You will go home with a workbook containing each idea and
topic covered plus loads of space to take notes. This workbook will let you
take all of your "nuggets" home and will even help you to conduct your own
training with your staff.
It's presented live and is filled with passion
and energy!
The presenter will share his personal experiences. He has
lived the stories that he relates to the audience.
You will enjoy the
entire day, in fact you will laugh while you learn as the presenter uses humor
to reinforce the concepts with "real" stories that apply to everyone in the
seminar.
The audience will be extremely limited in size, you will not be
in a room of 200 people straining to see and hear the presenter. The audience
will be part of your excitement. They will include a wonderful and exciting mix
of people to meet, learn from, and share ideas with.
Be sure to bring a
lot of business cards as you will have loads of opportunities to network and
share during breaks and lunch. |
