Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The September 21 education program took us to an island…Roosevelt Island! The Graduate Roosevelt Island Hotel was the perfect setting for an afternoon of education and experiencing new spaces.
Our program “Putting People First: The Business Case for Creating Safety and Engagement” featured two dynamic speakers: Tim Mousseau discussed how we can design emotionally safe events. He shared how to advocate for our safety needs, overcome the status quo and celebrate divergent viewpoints through simple actions that can lead to significant results at your events. Sue Hershkowitz-Coore followed sharing key points about the power of language in developing strong relationships with your stakeholders and how to be persuasive with tips on showing authenticity and developing inclusive messaging that creates emotional certainty for your clients and partners.
It was an enlightening session with an engaging Q&A facilitated by our very own board member, Travis Pham, CMP. Attendees left emotionally charged and poised to put new learned skills into action. The evening closed with a robust networking reception complete with delicious food & drink. To make the experience even more special, The Graduate team invited our group to their rooftop space, The Panorama Room, to enjoy live jazz and spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline; it was a perfect way to end the day! Thank you to our education partner, Kalahari Resorts & Conventions; our gracious host, the Graduate Roosevelt Island; and Iron Clad Audio Visual for their technical support.
