Description:
Join the Vermont Family Business Initiative as we kick off the 2006-2007 forum series with an in-depth look at the origin of leadership and change in all organizations - YOU. Leadership begins with self.
Dr. Murray Bowen, in his groundbreaking research on human relationship functioning, stated that each one’s willingness to take full responsibility for self defines one’s degree of emotional maturity. Business leaders easily get seduced into focusing on, blaming and micro-managing others instead of adjusting their own thinking and behavior to promote positive results. Managing Self will help participants examine specific relationship challenges that exist within each one’s life, family and workplace and how to begin to make radical change in the most effective way: with yourself. Using a lively combination of engaging stories, scientific research and practical applications, our presenter will explore the characteristics of high-maturity leadership, and how the self can be used as a resource to manage chronic anxiety, the potent enemy of progress. Key takeaways from this forum include the following:

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
