“Isn’t That Your Idea? How to Move Your Ideas to IMPACT(c)”
Sylvia Henderson

So many ideas; how to implement them all? Should you? Do you find yourself with a lot of ideas, then toss them out, forget to write them down, get lost in decision-collision, tell yourself “some day”, or wait too long to communicate them and find that someone else “stole them”? Help is here!

In this session you will explore a six-stage process – and identify tools – to help you focus on, capture, organize, and communicate your ideas, suggestions, and solutions and take them from thoughts to reality. You will leave with resources that help you to remember and apply the strategies that transform your ideas from “in your head” to implementation.

In this session you will:

• Discover a process that leads you to capture, organize, and communicate your ideas, with IMPACT©.
• Explore how to pick yourself up and move on with your ideas when you experience roadblocks and naysayers along the way.
• Learn how to use your rich network of resources to take your ideas from “in your head”, to reality.

Take action. Attend this session to avoid having to say, next time,“Hey, that’s my idea!“

“Hear Me Roar: First Impressions Make Presentations Last”
(Maximize Your First Few Minutes to Present Your Messages and Yourself More Powerfully)
Sylvia Henderson

This session prepares you to make a positive first-impression with your audience when you present your messages, and your self. Whether you are making a formal presentation in a professional setting, giving a promotional pitch to a potential supporter, or fulfilling an impromptu request, how you come across in the first few minutes – and even the first 30 seconds – influences the success of the rest of your interaction.

You will leave this program with tips and techniques you can use to immediately enhance how you present your messages – and your self. You will also have an opportunity to further explore how you, and your staff, can grow with ongoing resources for professional development throughout the year.

Your take-aways from this program include:

• A structure that prepares you equally for formal presentations and impromptu speeches.
• Five tips and techniques for presentation excellence.
• Three authoritative behaviors that help you project a powerful personal presence.

Interpersonal communications expert, Sylvia Henderson, of Springboard Training, provides concrete skills to help you present yourself in the best light to customers and colleagues.What impression do other people have of your business when they meet you?

In this session you will:

• Discover a process and receive supporting tools for creating and presenting your messages effectively;
• Explore behaviors that convey a confident presence;

We know we should, yet sometimes we just ned to be reminded. Some adult in our childhood experiences told us to sit up straight, keep our elbows off the table, cover our mouths when we sneeze, and tuck our shirts inside our pants (or skirts). Yet, there are times when we slip up and practice behaviors that project an image that is less than our best.

Do you regularly present the image that represents yourself and your organization or business as intended? How can you do so more effectively? In this presentation, Sylvia Henderson will present her “success equation” and take you through a model you can apply to position yourself for professional success—whatever your profession or business.

Your take-aways include:

• The PERCEPTION + PERFORMANCE = POSITION success equation,
• The four Pathways to Positioning© and how they interrelate to position you for success, and
• Ways to apply the Pathways to your life.

You will leave with a resource that helps you to remember and apply the Pathways that position you for your professional success.

What is Rotary Club?

Rotary is a worldwide organization of ethical, successful men and women who like to meet other such people, enjoy themselves, and be of service in their communities and around the world. Our motto is Service above self.

Rotary International is the world’s oldest and largest service organization, with some 1.3 million members in some 33,000 clubs. Its main service activity is eradicating polio, for which it has received a huge matching grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Rotary district and club activities, and special interest groups, further health, education, poverty eradication and many other important pursuits.

The Gaithersburg Rotary Club

The Gaithersburg Rotary has operated continually since 1964. Service projects include:

• Distributing dictionaries to 3rd graders in Gaithersburg schools
• Evaluating the “Character Counts” essays
• An annual scholarship to a Gaithersburg High School student
• Contributing money to WANADA (auto mechanic training), Boy Scouts of America, and other local organizations
• Brightening the holidays at Asbury Methodist Village
• Participating in medical/dental missions to the Philippines
• Contributing to the Rotary Foundation

We also hold social, public relations, and fund-raising activities and sponsor an Interact club at Gaithersburg High School. Regular meetings are Tuesdays (Noon-1:15PM) in The Hilton Hotel, 620 Perry Parkway,  in Gaithersburg, MD  20877.

Video profiles are emerging as necessary tools to complement resumes and pre-screen for interviews in job searches. They are also effective business preview tools for potential client and partnering considerations, and can present the initial face to your business or nonprofit for potential investors and donors. Amateur antics and editing typical of personal video posts are poor reflections of the quality of your experiences and capabilities.Just as with your written business proposals and marketing materials, you must convey a level of professionalism about you and your organization in your video profiles. In this session you will receive and share tools and processes for presenting the best business image you can when you post your videos online.

To project your professional work ethic and capabilities into your video profiles, the actionable information you will take from this session includes:

• Considerations for preparing your video profile
• Research suggestions
• How to look and sound professional on camera

Your video profile may be viewed by people worldwide. You never know when it is being viewed and by whom. Make yourself look and sound your best on every video so that you are congruent with what you say you and your business can do, and who you say you are, in print, on screen, and in person.

One of the most efficient ways in which to share information, reinforce skills, and market your business or nonprofit is to do so remotely so that everyone involved remains in the comfort of their own environs. Teleseminars and webinars are popular means by which remote presentations and training are achieved. Increasing numbers of individuals and organizations have access to high speed Internet connections and vendors offer free and fee-based tools for teleseminars and webinars.Increased access and popularity of these tools reveals a wide range of effectiveness with using them.

Have you participated in a remote meeting where the organizers spend the first ten minutes figuring out how to make the technology work? Have you spent good money to take a web-based training program only to be frustrated with how boring the experience turned out to be? Do you want to do the same things to your clients?In this session you will receive and share tools and processes for integrating the interpersonal aspects of presenting and training into the technical resources at your disposal for producing teleseminars and webinars.

The actionable information you will take from this session includes:

• How to develop your content for teleseminars and webinars
• Considerations for preparing for a professional remote session
• How to present a teleseminar or webinar and keep your audience involved

You demonstrate your expertise and business capabilities by how professionally you provide valuable content, whether face-to-face or remotely. Remote presentations are easy to set up, yet frequently presented in a way that detracts from the professional image intended to project. Avoid common pitfalls for your remote presentations and present sessions that are congruent with what you say you and your business can do, and who you say you are, in print, on screen, and in person.

On a daily basis most of us interact with others whose lack of professionalism directly impacts customer service, group morale, or business results which could lead to organizations not being able to meet the needs of their clients. The Workplace Professionalism Training provides recommended business practices designed to enhance team and workplace effectiveness. It provides a healthy foundation for those new to the workplace as well as a “getting back to basics” refresher for more experienced employees as well.

We will address the following topics:

• Follow-up is key
• Organization and time management
• Email/voicemail best practices
• Front Desk Etiquette
• Effective communication skills

This all-day class is for a nonprofit client whose clients are other nonprofits. Those clients are sending their staff to the workshop.
