DESCRIPTION:Who’s happier?  More successful?  Valued more?\n\n\n\nJoin us this month for our guest speaker Barbara Gunning as she presents Introvert or Extrovert? Who’s happier? More successful? Valued more? According to Susan Cain\, best-selling author\, the innate preference between introvert and extrovert is as important in defining your personality as gender or race. Since the population is equally split between Extroverts and Introverts\, there is a good chance that you’re interacting with your polar opposite every day. Knowing how to bring out the best in others is a critical component of leading a high-performing team. Learn the differences between Introverts and Extroverts and why it is important for your team. \n\n\n\nBarbara Gunning\n\n\n\nWith 25+ years of experience leading large\, strategic teams in the complex IT world\, Barbara combines her vast knowledge of team dynamics with a love for personality science to partner with teams to reach their full potential. Her philosophy is that understanding and valuing your teammates is essential because people drive team performance. Her company\, Rocking Your Team\, uses personality wisdom and team dynamics to provides an invaluable learning experience. Grounded in neuroscience principles that drive the long-term retention required for real-world application of personality science into areas such as leadership\, change\, conflict\, and teams She passionately shares the benefits of applying the Science of Personalities to teams and relationships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara GunningCEO\, Rocking Your Teamm: 619.994.3226w: RockingYourTeam.come: BarbaraGunningConsulting@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\nField of Study:   Personal Development – Non-TechnicalProgram Level:  Overview No prerequisites required  \n\n\n\n\nDon’t forget to pre-purchase Scholarship Tickets! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n$ Register Now!

Mark Bonser DESCRIPTION:Join us for Mark Bonser and “How Do You Adapt to Change & Uncertainty?”   Description:Our world has changed drastically in 2020. For many of us the workplace\, and life at home\, are much different than we knew them back in March. With experts predicting life may not return to “normal” until the latter part of 2021\, we continue to be faced with more uncertainty and change in the months ahead.  We have all been forced to adapt in some way or another to this new “normal”. New surroundings\, rules and regulations\, ways of communicating\, essentially a whole new way of life. Six months on\, how do you feel emotionally and physically? How well have you adapted? What challenges are you facing? Are you prepared\, personally and professionally\, for the next 6-12 months? If not\, what do you need to have greater control of your physical\, emotional\, and even financial wellbeing through the winter and beyond? How can you adapt in a way that empowers you and your family\, your friends\, your colleagues\, and the clients you serve?     Course Objective:In this course you will gain insights into the conscious and unconscious patterns that influence your decisions and actions. Discover how conditioned coping strategies may be holding you back and establish a more proactive response. Develop techniques for taking a progressive approach to change. Understand your thoughts and emotions in a way empowers rather than disempowers you. Walk away with practical steps to handle any changes that lie ahead in your personal and professional life.   Mark Bonser is a Certified Life Coach\, Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. Originally from England\, Mark moved to the US in 2003.

Standards which can be of assistance will be discussed\, with focus on practical solutions for immediate use. \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\n\n\nUnderstand how cyber attackers are using the pandemic to increase their attacksGain insight into practical solutions to thwart cyber attackersUnderstand the practices and frameworks available to help improve cyber security\n\n\n\nSPEAKER BIO\n\n\n\nRob leads the Cyber Security Services team for RubinBrown.

Sept 17\, 2020 6:00 - 7:30 pm DESCRIPTION:We are excited to be holding our first Virtual Zoom Meeting and its Free! Date:Thursday\, September 17\, 2020Venue: Live Webinar (Zoom link will be sent to registrants)   Speaker: Jack Holder   Program: “Employee Benefits”   Time: 6:00 – 7:00 pm Speaker and Q&A     7:00 – 7:15 Announcements & Scholarship ticket drawings   We’re holding our first ever virtual meeting with our guest speaker Jack Holder via Zoom.  Jack will be talking about Employee Benefits options that companies can offer.     This will be informative to you if your company offers these benefits\, as it will allow you better insight into these programs.    For anyone as an employer that is thinking of offering additional benefits you will also want to attend to gain a better understanding of the different programs available.   Jack will be talking about benefits such as pet insurance\, telehealth\, legal protection\, voluntary enhanced benefits\, and micro loans to name a few.Jack Holder is a co-founder of Enhanced Benefits Insurance Solutions (EBIS for short). Jack built his business by working with health insurance brokers primarily with a leading voluntary insurance carrier. He held the p osition regional manager for 10 of the 14 years and achieved many of the company benchmarks including: state convention s\, national conventions\, and several awards for double digit growth. His passion is to find solutions that are a win/win for all parties involved.  His vision is to build sustainable strategies that introduce enhanced voluntary benefits with broker partners to employers and their employees. With this in mind EBIS was created to better provide the solutions his broker partners and business clients. He is from the beautiful state of Oregon and chose to move to California to seek new opportunities after graduating from Portland State University. He met his wife\, Jackie\, in San Diego and now has two daughters; Amirah and Sadie. In his free time he plays co-ed recreational soccer\, spends time in the desert with his family\, volunteering\, and loves almost everything outdoors.     TOPIC OUTLINE Increasing benefit packages at low are no cost to attract employees. What are some of the options out there that companies are implementing and talking about? Many companies today are looking for ways to stay competitive to attract multi-generational employees; cost\, knowledge and time all become obstacles. There are many kinds of benefits that can be offered to employees today such as pet insurance\, telehealth\, legal protection\, voluntary enhanced benefits\, and micro loans to name a few.  Utilizing voluntary benefits to reduce or mitigate costs:  We look at strategies that could help with high workers’ compensation industries mitigate some of the unwanted Monday Morning Claims.  78% of Americans today live paycheck to paycheck and with increasing deductibles for major medical workers’ comp claims are rising. There are also other ways for employers to save money and help improve benefit packages as well.  Employee engagement for benefits: We call this “Celebration of Benefits”. What technologies and strategies are being used to reach multigenerational employees? Email may work\, but what else is there? Let’s leverage technology to connect to everyone.     Earn 1 CPE credit for attending!

More successful?

Knowing how to bring out the best in others is a critical component of leading a high-performing team.

In her 20 years a paralegal\, she went on to earn the Certified Paralegal and Advanced Certified Paralegal certifications in multiple areas of law from the National Association of Legal Assistants\, and the California Advanced Specialist in Discovery from the Commission for Certification of California Paralegals. \n\n\n\n\nMs. Stansall’s traditional paralegal career evolved into E-Discovery and litigation support when she found she enjoyed combining tech know-how with her legal training. In 2015\, she earned the title of ACEDS Fellow from the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists program through UC Irvine’s E-Discovery program\, then followed up with the CEDS credential in 2017. Currently\, she is the Litigation Support Analyst at Procopio\, Cory\, Hargreaves & Savitch where she assists the legal teams in every phase of litigation\, from legal holds\, collections\, early case assessments\, document review\, productions\, motions practice\, to trial presentations. Ms. Stansall is trained to use Relativity\, Eclipse\, CaseMap\, TextMap\, TimeMap\, Trial Director\, Excel\, Adobe Acrobat\, and PowerPoint. She advocates for using project management principles in E-Discovery processes for defensibility and proportionality in a matter. \n\n\n\nMs. Stansall is a member of the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists and the San Diego chapter of the Women in Ediscovery. She is on the advisory board for the UC San Diego Extension’s E-Discovery and Litigation Technology program.

Vice President’s Notes: For those of you who were unable to attend last month’s Fire Awareness & Preparedness presentation by Captain Dave Hardenburg you missed an information packed event!  Dave gave us a lot of useful information on protecting our homes but more importantly he gave us a lot of insight on what the fire fighter are doing during a wild fire. How they protect first and foremost human life then property.  It is so amazing that these brave men and women put their lives at risk doing their job.  I can’t express how appreciative and grateful I am for these brave firefighters especiallyas I experienced the Cedar/Crest fires first hand as the fire camethrough my property.  Thankfully our home and our neighbor’shomes were spared. I look forward to seeing everyone next week!  Bring a friend!   Sincerely\, Shelly Waddell\, Vice PresidentSan Diego AFWA Chapter #17vicepresident@afwasandiego.org 619-729-8074 (mobile)   URL:https://www.afwasandiego.org/event/afwa-social-bunco-event-thursday-october-17-2019-600-800-pm/ LOCATION:404 Camino Del Rio South\, Ste 410 San Diego\, CA 92108\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190919T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190919T200000 DTSTAMP:20190927T205453Z CREATED:20190904T021438Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190927T205453Z UID:870-1568914200-1568923200@www.afwasandiego.org SUMMARY:Dinner & Speaker - Fire Capt.

I learned so much from her about the different types of diets and finding which one works for you. It’s a sad fact but as we age we need less calories (mostly due to loss of muscle and less active) so we need to find what works best for our bodies to keep healthy (lots of veggies\, fruits\, whole grans\, and lean protein)\, keep those extra pounds from sneaking on think Mediterranean\, and move more (150-300 minutes or 5 hours of weekly moderate-intensity movement with muscle-strengthening activities).\n\nFind Healthy Habits!

DESCRIPTION:AFWA Dinner & Speaker – March 21\, 2019\nBlair Baker “The Smart Phone Who Knew Too Much! And Other Perils of Mobile Media.”\nJoin us at True Food Kitchen in Fashion Valley with guest speaker Blair Baker \nThere is a new “syndrome” out there. It is called “CyberSecurity Fatigue.” Maybe you have it. Symptoms include: a soft glazing over of the eyes and thoughts of creating drinking games whenever you hear terms like “BYOD\,” “Ransomware\,” “phishing attack\,” and “breach.” Severe cases include people sticking their fingers in their ears and crying “la-la-la” until that mean old security person\, or newscaster\, goes away\, or tuning out and tuning into your favorite social media on your smart phone…but isn’t it what we are talking about…and you can’t “opt-out” of CyberSecurity….\nWhat causes it? Is it serious? Is there a way for us mere mortals to understand what is real about our phones and what is hysteria? What do they want from my phone? I am not a Zuckerberg\, why would anyone really be out to get me?
