The Right of Refusal: Six Ways to Politely Say No to More Work
Longtime readers of this blog know that one of my least-favorite phrases is, "That's not my job." I believe most workers should willingly try to handle all aspects of their positions. Taking on new tasks is the only way of really understanding and internalizing
them, no matter how well-documented the task is. Some nuances only become evident when you're in the thick of things.
Announcing a New Eight-Week Online Course with Laura Stack, The Productivity Pro®!
Kick your Rear into Gear and Accelerate Your Productivity!
Feeling overwhelmed? Lack motivation? Need to hit the next level of success? Kick your Rear into Gear with Laura Stack’s new 8-week virtual coaching program!
Ever wish you could hire a personal coach to help you be more productive and manage your time better? Now you can! Join me for EIGHT hold-on-to-your-seat WEEKS of rocket-boosting productivity skills.
I recorded an eight-hour series of videos and will be personally facilitating a live webinar with those videos once a week for eight weeks. You can ask all your questions during the live session, PLUS receive unlimited email coaching from me for eight weeks. The expectation is that you’ll work on the concepts from each week, so that you come back prepared for the next week. All techniques will be demonstrated in Microsoft Outlook (desktop PC version) where
applicable.
If you can’t attend “live” at the exact day and time, no worries! You’ll receive the workbooks and recordings of each session to review again and again (no time limit).
SCHEDULE: Eight Wednesdays starting 5/6/20 to 6/24/20 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM Mountain (11:00 AM Pacific/2:00 PM Eastern)

Leading Across the Generations: How Leadership Builds Cross-Generational Culture
Many organizations report problems managing and effectively retaining a diverse multigenerational team. They also often report that the problem is created by generational differences. It’s important to consider generational diversity is a symptom of the problem, not the cause. The root cause is likely related to communication, leadership, and organizational culture. In this webinar, you will learn more about the framework that shapes the generations, impacts of communication, and the
importance of leadership role modeling.
Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Appropriately describe the framework of our workforce generations
Explain factors that influence communicating across the generations
Recognize and describe the connections to leadership and role modeling
Describe at least one best practice for cross-generational respect
Discuss why vision and strategy are important for future success.
