 wiUbe 



"Understanding 

 Differences: 

 Making a Better 

 Workplace." 



Workers in the 

 1990s want to be 

 respected. They 

 want their ideas 

 heard they want 

 to be part of the 

 organization. 

 Greenhouses and 

 florist shops and 

 nurseries can 

 rarely pay the 

 highest salaries, 

 and a good 

 worker is a 

 valuable asset. 

 It's important 

 that he/she 

 wants to stay 

 with your 

 company. 



One reason that a 

 worker wants to 

 stay is that he/ 

 she has a valued 

 and appropriate 

 place in your 

 business. But 

 everyone is 

 different. Where 

 would he/she fit 

 best? 



In this workshop, 

 you will examine 

 different styles of 

 doing things and 

 how these styles 

 affect others. 

 And this 

 includes your 

 own style as 

 well. 



Understanding 

 these differ- 

 ences — and 

 utilizing them — 

 can enhance the 

 workplace 

 situation. It can 

 be a calmer, 

 friendlier, and 

 more productive 

 place. Workers 

 will slay; 

 customers 

 return; the 

 business will 

 grow. 



Donna Singer is 

 an organizational 

 consultant who 

 has been 

 working with 

 adult learners 

 for more than 

 twenty years. 

 Recent clients 

 include 

 businesses, 

 schools, hospi- 

 tals, and the State 

 of New Hainp- 

 shire. Her style 

 is dynamic, 

 knowledgeable. 



and entertaining; 

 she has a sense of 

 humor. 



The information 

 she offers is 

 genuinely useful 

 and will affect 

 your relation- 

 ships with fellow 

 workers, 

 employees, and 

 customers. 



Her presenta- 

 tion — a work- 

 shop combining 

 both lecture and 

 highly interac- 

 tive discussions 

 (you won't be 

 sitting in your 

 chair) — will 

 begin around 11, 

 break for lunch 

 (a buffet; filet of 

 sole, baked ham, 

 etc.), then 

 continue for the 

 remainder of the 

 afternoon. It's a 

 warm and useful 

 way to spend a 

 cold day in 

 January. 



Cost per person 

 for the complete 

 program is 

 $30.00 for 

 members and 

 $35.00 for 

 non-members. 

 Only those 

 registering in 

 advance will be 

 eligible for meal

 Walk-in registra- 

 tions the day of
