About Workplace 2011

This year, we are offering two different keynote speakers! We are delighted to showcase Debra Fine, a best selling author of The Fine Art of Small Talk: How to Start a Conversation, Keep it Going, Build Networking Skills and Leave a Positive Impression! as our morning keynote speaker. Debra has been on the Early Show, Morning Edition, the Today Show (7 times!) and has appeared in print all over the country.

Debra was once a reserved engineer who realized she wasn't reaching her goals. Why? Because she wasn't making the kind of first impression that impressed! No matter how effective a communicator you think you are, Debra can give you tips to make you better. Here is what some participants at other conferences had to say about Debra:

"It's been months since I heard Debra but I still remember her tips. I thought I was a good communicator but I've used Debra's tips on a regular basis and they make a huge difference!"

"I never realized that some very common questions I ask people during a conversation could put them off. I love Debra's alternative questions."

"I wasn't looking forward to sitting though another boring keynote but within a few minutes Debra had me hooked. I didn't want her to stop, she was so dynamic and engaging and practical!"

You can't afford to miss our afternoon keynote session with Renée Malone. Renée, founder of Kick the Moon training, is one of the most engaging, energetic people you will ever see. Renée will help you harness your natural skills, personality and energy so that you'll be able to speak with anyone with confidence and presence. Don't miss this high energy, fun and practical session that is sure to increase your personal and professional effectiveness.

"Collaborating with Renée is a compelling experience. Her training insight and content brings life and new energy to the projects she creates. Her presence is commanding regardless of the audience, and her delivery of content is confident, comfortable, and personal. Renée has truly helped me create an 'experience' for events we've worked on together."

Joshua Farmer, National Store Director, American Crew
