Leadership and communication will be the focus during this year’s annual RV Women’s Alliance educational symposium Oct. 11-13 at The Renaissance at Schaumberg in Chicago. The event will include networking, speakers, educational workshops and industry awards.
The four workshops will focus on developing and fine-tuning participants’ leadership and communication skills.
Karen Zupko, an internationally recognized thought leader and speaker who advises many organizations and teams about the challenges and trends impacting them today, will take an in-depth look at how we communicate via our strengths and how teams can better communicate to achieve their goals. Zupko will take participants through a guided understanding of your unique style based on your DISC assessment (assessment included as part of event) and how to then utilize your style to further enhance your career.
Another pair of sessions –on conflict resolution and emotional intelligence – will be facilitated by Mary Romeo and Heather French of Mary Romeo & Associates. Utilizing the Thomas-Kilmann approach to conflict resolution, attendees will learn their specific behavior in conflict resolution and the extent to which they project assertiveness and cooperativeness. Attendees will also participate in the emotional intelligence workshop to understand how to use and manage their own emotions to further enhance their careers.
The fourth workshop will be a panel discussion with leading women of the industry detailing how women can utilize everything they learned in the other workshops to advance their careers.
