Ms.
Peggy Grosz, Morton County Extension Service and Ms. Peggy Candler, Kidder

novice or a gourmet cook you’re sure to learn something new at this fun event.
Ms.
Martha Bryan of Everett, Washington,
will present “Front Line Service Excellence”.
Ever wonder how an
organization can get its entire work-force eating, sleeping, and breathing
customer service --
especially in an age when common courtesy, extra effort, and empathy are in
short supply?
This program gets to the heart of the service mentality people must adopt if
quality is to happen in their organization.
It will show participants how to pinpoint what they need to do to meet
the needs of their customers.
Participants will also learn how to create customer satisfaction, manage
interactions, and how to take the lead in building customer relationships and
resolving crisis situations.
She
will also present, “Getting and Staying Organized”.
The
ability to control your time is one of the most powerful skills you can ever
develop. This program is designed
on the premise that “it is not lack of time but lack of direction.”
The program emphasizes time as an important investment and how this
investment can be made more efficient in small ways.
This program will also help you identify major time robbers, establish
goals and priorities to manage time more effectively, and modify behavior
patterns to improve time use.
The
closing session will be presented by Mr. Bob Wells from Denver, Colorado.
“Laugh as Though Your Life Depended on
It!” is a laugh-filled session that gives you a fresh perspective on how
positive attitudes and inclusive humor will influence productivity, workplace
atmosphere, team trust and respect.
You will learn exercises to control stress and shift attitudes.
You will receive materials and information to help sustain a positive,
cooperative, and joy-filled environment throughout the year.
You will experience how laughter is “cheaper than therapy and quicker
than Prozac!”
