A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” John C. Maxwell

Are you cultivating the habits that lead to success?  Are you expressing your leadership potential?  Are you reproducing leaders?  Consider your life at work, at home and in social situations.  Are you living to lead?

The greatest leadership standard that I have learned in over twenty-five years of leadership is that there are five major levels of effective leadership.  Leadership is a faithful journey of discovery.  It is the expression of a person at his or her best, whose aim is to transform something for the better and to develop the potential in others.  It is not a solitary pursuit but one that harnesses the energy of those around you.   CeCe Cole will equip you with five transformational leadership principles to awaken your genuis.

Reduce Workplace Stress
"Researchers discovered that when women work in a high-pressure environment where they have little control over their work and no social support system, their health-related quality of life can be drastically impaired.  Stress increases your susceptibility to heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and bodily pain, and strikes a blow to the overall health of women everywhere.

"Nearly 38% of U.S. workers complained of "low levels of energy, poor sleep or a feeling of fatigue" in a survey published in January 2007. Almost 66% of those reported health-related LPT – lost productive work time – costing employers $136.4 billion annually. Of workers who did not have fatigue, 26.4% reported lost productive work time, for an annual LPT cost of about $100 billion less than the fatigue group".— Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Women who attend the Women, Money and Personal Power ~"Money can buy you happiness: But there is a catch." session will be empowered to take control of their personal finances to decrease financial stress.  Many employees who are financially struggling often bring that stress into the workplace.   Participants will gain insight into how money can effect one's happiness and provide strategies for better money management.

Improve Communication & Decision Making
“Research shows that low morale translates to low productivity, less-than-perfect customer service, and increased sick leave and medical incidents.  Communicators can help overcome low employee morale by: Ensuring that employees get adequate and reliable information at the tight time, encouraging employees to air their views without fear of retribution, making employees feel that they are part of the company by involving them in the firm's publications and newsletters, clearing up doubts created by rumors and updating employees with news of interest to them as well as the firm.” Communication World, Mar-Apr 2010. 

Women who attend the "Let's Get REAL with Conversations that Connect" session will learn new techniques to communicate more effectively with colleagues, team members and management.  Improved communication boosts confidence and employee morale to facilitate Enriched relationships and environments that create mutual goals and supports success

-- Decrease in productivity

Increase Goal Achievement / Build Stronger and Effective Teams

If you want to make things happen the ability to motivate yourself and others is a crucial skill. At work, home, and everywhere in between, people use motivation to get results. Motivation requires a delicate balance of communication, structure, and incentives
To motivate employees to improve performance, you must find a way to have meaningful discussions about performance. Linking performance to the achievement of organizational goals is meaningful because it allows you to focus on a "common purpose." It also gives you a way to let employees know that their performance is very important. And the more employees' believe that their performance matters, the more likely you are to get the kind of performance you want.

Increase Opportunities for Women to Advance
"Women in Omaha have made limited progress in the leadership ranks, but barriers that were identified ten years ago still exist today. " In 2005 Omaha women report the following as the greatest barriers to the success of women in the workplace. 

  • Male dominated corporate culture 84%
  • Balancing work and family 73%

Work/Life (family) now ranks second as the greatest obstacle to success, and is the only measure that has not improved for women in the past ten years.Our study suggests that while most barriers, including attitudinal, to women's success appear to be trending in a positive direction, personal responsibilities are becoming more of an issue for nearly three fourths of Omaha's working women.If Omaha businesses are to continue to benefit from women's participation in the work force, it appears new ways of dealing with the realities of women's lives must be developed. --Women’s Fund Report (2006)
