Special Spring 2012 Trainings!

TOP DOG CXN!  (Please register here.)
Click here to register for Top Dog. (Please note that the April class is full; we’re currently taking applications for the July class.)

Years ago, as the Executive Director of the Missouri Public Service Commission, Bob found that, while many people would try to understand the stresses and responsibilities of his position, most really didn’t understand the complexities of being the top person in the organization.

The Top Dog Cxn program is designed to help position your company for success within the mid-Missouri market through the sharing of ideas, brainstorming and referrals. It is a place where Top Dogs from non-competing businesses can come together once monthly for 12 months to learn, share, and grow in their Top Dog responsibilities.

Suggested topics include:
1.  Leadership in 2011
2.  Setting your purpose
3.  Managing the turbulence
4.  Branding your organization
5.  Understanding 2011 technology
6.  Managing your headaches
7.  Building your management team
8.  Selling, Selling, Selling
9.  Developing your spirit, mind and body
10. Managing your time
11. Embracing change
12. Expanding your possibilities

You might ask, “Will I like it and will I benefit from participating.” My answer is, “I don’t know.” Here’s what Warren Hoover of Dubtizzle  (www.dubtizzle.com) is saying from our first TD group:

The Top Dog program has allowed me to get in front of some great Columbia minds, which has allowed me to gain knowledge for my my business and my life.  I enjoy each luncheon and I learn something to help my business every time we get together.  It’s well worth it!

Date/Time: Third Thursday of each month, beginning April 19, 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.

Place:  Marathon Building Environments(1715 Paris Rd., Columbia, Mo)

HR BASICS FOR OFFICE MANAGERS

Often the human resources responsibility in a busy office is given to the Office Manager, and frequently they have limited training in this very legal environment. HR Basics for Office Managers offers a foundation of knowledge in employment law, recruiting, wage & hour law, unemployment, record keeping, posters, job descriptions and manuals. This interactive study group won’t make an Office Manager a HR expert, but it will offer a foundation to work from while managing the HR system in your business.  (Designed for Office Managers with no to little formal HR training (but carrying the load of HR responsibilities), this training is held workshop style in small groups of no larger than 10 participants.)

Course Content:

  • Office manager responsibilities
  • Recruitment
  • Recruitment priorities
  • Writing winning ads
  • Interview questions
  • Resume fraud
  • Job descriptions
  • Performance evaluation
  • Unemployment claims
  • Policy & handbook development
  • Basic guidelines
  • Basic policies to be included
  • Major HR laws
  • Wage & Hour
