  About the Guest Speaker 

  Steuart Snooks 

  Steuart helps busy professionals and executives improve their workplace performance, productivity and outcomes . . . beginning with email.

  He is the Email & Workplace Productivity Expert who works with busy professionals and their teams to help them get control of all their email.

  
  

  He shows business owners, CEOs and senior executives a range of best practices to help them restore email to its rightful place as a tool to facilitate improved workplace and personal productivity.

  His first career was in the wine industry (working in restaurants, retail and wholesale) before travelling to France to visit and work in vineyards and wineries in Champagne, Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Loire, Cognac and Bordeaux. After a period of seeking to combine wine education and travel, I joined a time management company with a view to perhaps becoming a time management expert to the wine trade.

  So, as a result of many years of ‘hands on experience’ since 1997, working with those who are overloaded and crying out for practical, affordable solutions to the various challenges of email productivity, I have developed a series of workshops, presentations, webinars, coaching and associated resources that will show you and your team the highly practical and easily implemented Best Practice skills, techniques and strategies for mastering your email.  What you learn could change the way you work . . .  forever!

  After this presentation

  You will hear from representatives from 

  • Torrens University - Shirl Keen
  • The College of Adult Learning - Pete Riddle
  • The Career Academy - Hemin Patel

  Wednesday 11 September 2024 at 1pm (AET)

  (Note: Change of date).

  "Difficult Conversations and how to avoid conflict!" with Johanna de Ruyter and Caresse Cranwell, Wicked Elephants 

  
  

  About the Webinar 

  “Smart organisations create a culture where it is safe to disagree”. - Sydney Finkelstein, author of “Why Smart Executives Fail – and what you can learn from their mistakes”.

  Many leaders and teams struggle with having difficult conversations. Differences of opinion can lead to conflict, disharmony, and people feeling shut down and ignored. This can lead to resentment, bad vibes in the team, and an unproductive workplace. 

  We’ve been trained in cultures of competition and debate. We’ve been trained to listen in binaries of right and wrong, good and bad, I agree, I disagree, true, false. Our nervous systems are primed for reactivity in the face of disagreement. We can, however, learn to calm our reactivity, value multiple perspectives, include more diversity, have curious conversations, and generate collegial and productive workspaces.

  How? It takes training and it takes practice. We need to grow our skills and capacities to tolerate and actively appreciate diversity. Join us as we share strategies and practices to deal with strong emotions. We’ll explore how to be more curious and less defensive with differences so that you can find common pathways forward. What might that be like?
