I'd like to tell you about a unique learning opportunity I am launching with respected work-life expert Nora Spinks called Tension Talkback.
We know that organizations and their employees are sometimes at odds. We believe strongly that purposeful conversations are the beginning of successful change. It's time to discuss the tension that can arise from opposing viewpoints openly and honestly. A respectful exchange of perspectives and ideas, and an understanding of how goals align can result in an environment where individuals flourish and organizations succeed.
Our vision is to bring together professionals, managers and leaders in a 90-minute Teleforum to facilitate a constructive and meaningful discussion that converts workplace stress to collective strength.
Tension Talkback - It's a new approach and we invite you to participate.
Join us on June 5, 9:30 a.m. PT/12:30 p.m. ET. Be prepared to listen, to be heard, to be open to both sides of the dialogue... and to construct solutions.

Designed exclusively for action-oriented professionals, managers and leaders, Tension Talkback is a unique opportunity to put theory into practice and learn from the success of others.

What will Nora say?
Nora Spinks, President of Work-Life Harmony Enterprises, will talk about women and advancement by discussing the innovative strategies leading/progressive organizations offer to attract, engage, develop, promote and retain women.
What will Lisa say?
Women seek organizations that recognize and support their unique needs, personal and professional priorities and career ambitions. Lisa Martin, President of Briefcase Moms, will discuss what women can do to effectively manage career transitions, career progressions and/or career advancement.
What will you say?
There are two ways to participate in this discussion. First, take one or both of our Tension Tests, assessments that reflect the individual as well as the organizational perspective on this important issue.
The personal questionnaire allows individuals to assess how well their employer has supported them in achieving their life goals. For organizations, another short questionnaire will determine whether their organization is committed to helping working women reach their full potential.
See where you land on the stress to strength continuum. Then join us for the Tension Talkback conversation on June 5, 2008.
