Working for You Isn’t Working for Me – How HR Can Help Employees Manage Their Bosses* Katherine Crowley & Kathi ElsterPsychotherapist & Consultant

In this exclusive HR Summit presentation, Katherine & Kathi will discuss how sooner or later, every employee works for someone they can’t stand. When that happens, some people quit, some suffer in silence, and others cope by sulking, obsessing, avoiding, or retaliating. None of these options represents a good outcome for the business – which has invested time, money and effort into its human capital. When turbulent boss/employee relationships arise, it’s often up to HR to smooth the waters, but that can be easier said than done.

Fortunately, Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster, the corporate psychologist and business strategist behind Working For You Isn’t Working For Me – The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss, are here to help! Their presentation at HR Summit 2010 will show how HR can successfully advise and instruct any staff member who is grappling with a difficult authority

figure. Filled with the concrete examples from actual corporate environments, they will show the audience how to manage some of the worst behaviors from bosses and staff alike. Chronic critics, yellers, unconscious discriminators, control freaks, pathological liars and absentee leaders will all be considered in a fun but thought-provoking exploration into boss/employee relations.

Katherine Crowley, a Harvard trained psychotherapist, and Kathi Elster a management consultant, are best-selling authors, educators, public speakers, and veteran consultants. They are seasoned guides in the area of professional fulfillment through self-awareness and self-management.

They’ve led workshops at Microsoft, Starbucks, Time Life, Martha Stewart Omni Media, and Pearson Education. Together they have written the business best seller Working With You is Killing Me: Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work (2006) Working For You Isn’t Working For Me, The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss (2009)

The Role of HR in Enabling Change in RBS Brian McLarenRegional Head of HR ABN Amro, Asia

Inspiring Your Team to Achieve Their Peak: How to Help Your Managers Raise the Performance Levels of Their TeamJohn ShackletonPerformance Expert

In this HR Summit exclusive presentation, John Shackleton will show you how your managers can apply simple sports psychology techniques to help their team to ‘raise their game’ in the business world. No matter what they are trying

to achieve, an employee’s performance will ultimately be determined by their confidence and self-belief and it’s long been understood that it’s the manager’s job to coach their staff in these areas. However few managers understand how they can inspire their team and help them to develop greater levels of self belief and personal responsibility. Drawing from his background in international sports coaching John shows how you and your managers can use such coaching strategies and techniques to help staff become more self motivated and truly believe in their abilities. The sports coaching model suggests that the individual has within them all the potential necessary for achievement, all they require is a deep belief in themselves and their goal and the encouragement to achieve. Therefore the way we help others to learn must be by their direction, not ours, and for most managers this is the opposite of what they are doing currently!

John Shackleton has a background in Sports Psychology and has coached many world class athletes including Olympians and World Champions. He has also coached CEOs and senior executives from many of today’s blue chip companies including Coca-Cola, IBM and Pfizer. John has been speaking for more than 25 years and has won many accolades and awards including the coveted Speaker of the Year award from NSANZ.

John’s first book Life is for Living became a best seller before it arrived back from the printers and his most recent, Inspire Your Team is fast becoming a ‘coaching bible’ for managers throughout Australasia and Asia.

the execution. In this straight-talking, highly engaging, no-nonsense presentation Robin Speculand will examine the latest thinking in the field of strategy implementation, how people respond to the implementation (most do not resist, despite popular belief) and how HR can leverage the opportunity.
