Queen’s people like O.D. Skelton were among the architects of today’s modern public service. Several Queen’s Principals and scholars have been instrumental in the design and structuring of programs, federal-provincial agreements, constitutional negotiations, and the entire process of creating a deeper and stronger democracy at home and abroad. Many graduates of Queen’s School of Business have chosen the public service as their career, and all levels of government in Canada, including the military, have benefited from their involvement. The best minds and experts from Queen’s and elsewhere have shaped Queen’s Public Executive Program to be a truly enriching career development opportunity. It is our privilege to host a broad cross-section of outstanding public service professionals for this Program.Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:00:00 -0400http://business.queensu.ca/upcoming_events/2009/PEP_2009.phphttp://business.queensu.ca/execdev/prof_dev/conversationsCalgary.phpThe ongoing task of developing talented people requires many kinds of conversations. No matter how effective you are as a coach and manager you will face situations that require tough conversations. In fact, working with hard-working, high-achieving, committed people requires challenging conversations if they and you are to continue to grow and excel. Tackling Challenging Conversations provides participants with a road map to effectively handle challenging conversations, the skills needed to use the map, and the self-management tools needed to access those skills when the pressure is on. Participants will explore the key factor in tackling difficult conversations successfully and with confidence: the disciplined use of specific communication skills. This program will make extensive use of self-assessment, exercises, video, audio, peer coaching, as well as planning and practice exercises to give participants the skills and confidence to tackle challenging conversations. They will leave with tools and maps to guide them in the effective implementation of challenging conversations, wherever they occur, as well as the skills necessary to keep their emotions under control and listen objectively to others. Participants will understand and practice the fine balance required to manage themselves so they are able to use and leverage all their skills.Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:00:00 -0400http://business.queensu.ca/upcoming_events/2009/conversationsCalgary_2009.phphttp://business.queensu.ca/execdev/programs/fftnfm.phpThis 5-day program will enable you to make better business decisions.
