• CMSHRM - Do You Know Your Vital Signs? 4 Steps That Will Positively Change Your Life (or Health) | Presented by Cheryl Agronovich

  • When
    15 Jun 2023
  •  
    11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)
  • Location
    Bethlehem Lutheran Church 4310 Co Rd 137, St. Cloud, MN 56301

  Program Details
  When you get a text or email, how quickly do you read the message? How quickly do you respond? You probably respond to what’s important to you. 

  Why do we not do the same when it comes to our own health? Probably because the health messages we are receiving just haven’t impacted us enough to start making a change.

  Cheryl’s keynote will inspire participants to take charge of their health before it’s too late.

  Key Takeaways

  1. To better understand the importance of making health our #1 priority.
  2. To explore 4 effective ways to improve all aspects of your health and life.
  3. To begin the creation of a life-changing personal well-being action plan.

  
  

  Speaker - Cheryl Agronovich
  Over the last 30 years, Cheryl Agranovich has experienced every aspect of the world of health. Self-sufficient since she was 17, on welfare and homeless - Cheryl was the first person in her family to complete college— working full time until she completed her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and Master’s degree in Public Health.

  She’s worked on the ‘front lines’ as an emergency room nurse and lifesaving healthcare provider. Cheryl has founded and sold two nationally recognized healthcare companies as an entrepreneur.

  She’s advised and consulted companies from IKEA and Nordstrom to Progressive and Sherwin Williams, publishing her health-centric book, “A Woman’s Health Survival Guide” along the way.

  Today, Cheryl is one of the most trusted experts and innovators in the field of organizational health and peak performance— both at the individual level and in organizations of every size. Cheryl's 4-Step Vital Signs framework inspires positive change, organizational transformation, and provides the power to take ownership over our health.

• TCSHRM - June Chapter Meeting & Strengths-Based Leadership Workshop: Why People Follow Leaders

  •  
    8:00 AM - 10:30 AM (CDT)
  • Location
    MRA 5980 Golden Hills Drive Golden Valley, Minnesota 55416

  At Twin Cities SHRM we pride ourselves on being a “Strengths-Based Organization” by incorporating Strengths into our leadership, volunteer, and membership professional development. An organization that operates with a strengths-based culture at its core can create real organic growth. It's not a surprise that organizations with strengths-based cultures experience higher employee engagement, retention, productivity, and performance.
  
  

  Why do people follow leaders? What makes a person choose to follow another? In this interactive workshop, you will be introduced to Strengths-Based Leadership and examine the role and impact leaders have on their people. You will learn the Four Needs of Followers and the Seven Expectations of Leaders, based on robust research conducted by Gallup. You will learn about the psychology of followership to understand how you can approach leadership in a more complete way through the tenets of Strengths-Based Leadership. You will use the research and information from Gallup to evaluate how well you and other leaders in your organization are able to meet the needs of your employees. And lastly, you will reflect on your strengths and their impact on others and develop an action plan to improve.

  
  

  Participants will:

  • Learn the Seven Expectations of Leaders, Four Needs of Followers, understand how they interact, and be able to explain the behaviors that achieve desired outcomes.
  • Recognize how your skills, tendencies, and talents help you demonstrate the Seven Expectations and meet the Four Needs in leadership behaviors.
  • Examine your capabilities as a leader, and the capabilities of other leaders in your organization, to meet the needs of your employees.
  • Develop tools and processes to support the professional development of leaders in your organization, with respect to the Seven Expectations and Four Needs.

  If you haven’t completed the Top 5 CliftonStrengths assessment, you can complete it here for $19.99 plus tax.

  Please join TCSHRM's Global Mobility Community (formerly the International SIG) for an interactive and informative panel discussion on Global Remote Work/International Telecommuting. By now, most companies have established their remote work strategy and documented well thought-out policies. Time to call it a day, right? Unfortunately, not! We're now learning "on the fly" that it's actually much more difficult to operationalize those policies.
  
  Our panel of corporate global mobility/international HR experts will share their practical experience and best practices on how to execute a global remote work program in order to help facilitate flexible work opportunities for employees while addressing cross-border compliance obligations, workflow/volume challenges, policy gaps, and other roadblocks. This session is expected to be part one in a two-part series.

  During this live session, you will:

  • Hear from subject matter experts on their real-life experiences establishing a global remote work program at their organizations - each of which is at a different point in this journey
  • Learn about specific challenges and best practices such as:
  • • Employee eligibility
    • Differences in policies and approaches between international and domestic (US state cross-border)
    • Gaps identified in policies and how addressed
    • Managing remote work requests (request/intake/review/approval or denial)
    • Leveraging technology
    • Collaboration with other stakeholders and COEs (Mobility and Corporate Tax, IT/Data Security, Legal, Corp Security & Risk, Employee Relations, Payroll, Total Rewards, etc.)
  • Have the opportunity to ask your burning questions, learn from the panelists and an audience of your global mobility/international HR peers, and add to the quality of the discussion by sharing your own experiences

  • 8:00 - 8:30am -   Registration & Networking
