| Duncan EDUCATE Roaring Women Meeting May 06, 2008 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm Place: Cowichan Golf and Country Club - 4955 Trans Canada Hwy, Duncan How to Say No and Still Keep Your Customers Communication in Business What if the customer is not right? Is there a way to respond without alienating them? Join Michèle Favarger and hear strategies to handle those situations where we have to say ‘No.’. Michèle will share her understanding of how to get to the yes behind the no in a way that will help us build effective relationships, whether with a life partner, stranger or a valued client. Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment. Six centuries ago, the Persian poet Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” Michèle believes these words are even more important today and she will talk about how to get beyond arguing and defensiveness to a place of honest and respectful communication. Fluent in two languages, Michèle has a lively and engaging manner of speaking about topics that that touch all of us in our personal and professional lives. She relishes every opportunity to share with others and often finds herself embracing conflict for the opportunity it brings. Like Gandhi, Michèle’s goal is "to be the change I want to see in the world". What people say about Michèle: “It was like Michèle plugs right into people with her words and her heart. She [is] honest and compassionate all at once without passing judgment.” School Teacher, a workshop participant “Not only is Michèle a gifted therapist, she teaches us to hear with our hearts”. Will Johnson, Writer and Speaker Meet the Presenter - Rt. Rev.

| Mississauga Tool Party - Educate Meeting. May 14, 2008 5.30 pm to 8.30 pm Place: Holiday Inn Toronto East, Mississauga, Ontario. L4Z 2G1 905 890 5684 "Do it, Do it better and Do it with Total Confidence" Tired of waiting for your spouse to have the time to do a job for you, tired of waiting for the "handy-man" to have time to do a job for you? Ladies, we have the answer!! All you ever wanted to know about power tools and were afraid to ask! This is the most amazing opportunity to hear Yvonne Williams talk about EMPOWERMENT, INDEPENDENCE and CONFIDENCE, and how to use power tools with confidence and ease. Yvonne teaches women how to use power tools safely and effectively, what the various tools can be used for, what are the right tools for the job, what to look for when buying tools, how to change blades and will give us simple tips on a selected renovation project! Put on your hard-hats and join us for another exciting meeting on the road to empowering yourself! Yvonne worked in the renovation industry and realized all she was learning was what not to do - the lack of integrity, poor workmanship and no understanding for a woman gave her the idea to start her own company, Total Confidence. Yvonne enables women to further their self confidence through the use of power tools, and teaches them to extend that confidence into their daily life. Join us for a network meeting with a difference! We honour our promise of $10.00 off two meetings or more in one month, and if you bring a guest, your name will go into a draw for a free dinner meeting of your choice.

| Victoria - Building Your Business by Knowing Yourself and Others May 26, 2008 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm Place: Royal Oak Golf Course - 540 Marsett Drive, Victoria
Every one of us has a unique personality made up of our temperament and character. Our temperament determines the strengths that we’re born with, the skills we use instinctively, and the natural set of talents we often take for granted. It takes many strengths, skills and talents to build a successful business. No one does it all on their own. Communications Consultant and Temperament Certified Professional Fiona Prince will lead a dynamic session in personal discovery that will help you to appreciate and focus on what you’re good at and to confidently seek out others whose strengths and talents complement yours. By the end of the presentation, you’ll have a new awareness of yourself and the people around you and the tools to start putting temperament theory to work for you. Even if you’ve done this type of self-discovery before, Fiona will give you something new to think about.
Fiona Prince has been delivering communications-related training to groups and individuals for over fifteen years in both the public and private sector. She has Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from the University of Victoria, a Masters of Arts in Applied Communication from Royal Roads University, and a Temperament Theory Certification from AdvisorTeam.com, Inc. and Synergy Leaders, LLC in association with Dr. David M. Keirsey. Fiona works from the premise that miscommunications are inevitable and that when we (people) know how and why a miscommunication occurs, we are better able to manage it and get on with whatever project we're working on. At the start of each workshop, she introduces the idea that we are not paid to like the people we work with. We are paid to do a job; and if miscommunications prevent us from doing our job, then we have an obligation to ourselves, our coworkers, our customers and our employers to learn how to manage them so that we can continue to do what we're paid to do. When we are given the opportunity to learn how to manage miscommunications, we have less stress and more fun at both work and home.
