    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Relationship expert Joe Martino says there are 3 core leadership questions that we want our leaders to answer. For leaders, this means that everyone is looking to us to answer these questions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;

    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;We expect our boss to answer one of the three.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;We appreciate anyone who answers two of the three.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;We move heaven and earth for those who answer all three!&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;
    &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;It doesn't matter whether we are leading a peer, an employee, or significant other. Each person asks 3 questions that we need to answer for them.&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;

        &lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;A key part of leadership involves our relationships with others we lead. Relationships - and communication - can be difficult. Tragically, many leaders care deeply about those they lead, yet have destructive patterns of communication. Joe specializes in relationship therapy for business and personal relationships. Joe will demonstrate how to listen so that our colleagues feel heard, valued and safe. &amp;nbsp;www.joemartino.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

      <title>Doing More with Less: Shortcuts Don’t Work (Thursday, June 14, 2012)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Doing more with less in the training world is no longer a fad, it’s a trend. Corporations have tried to reduce training costs by sending training overseas, putting content online (often in the form of converted PowerPoint presentations), and making use of webinars and eLearning. The industry has also come up with faster, more streamlined ways to design and develop training.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;How has this cost saving affected the bottom line for companies? How has it impacted the quality of training? Are we spending less and spending smarter, or just spending less? Dick Handshaw has a thirty year view of the training world, especially with technologies that are supposed to save time and money. In this session Dick will review strategies that didn’t work and he’ll share tactics to help participants actually do more with less.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Performance Objectives:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Identify the true cost of learning in an organization.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Compare development costs to total learning costs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Identify development shortcuts that really don’t work and why.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Determine when and how analysis can be a good investment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;Demonstrate how being proactive can cost less than being reactive&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
