Coffs Coast Business Women's Network

Whether you have one employee or many, whether you have been in business for a long time or are an aspiring business operator, you need to develop the one quality that separates great business leaders from the rest. 
It is given a lot of names, including presence or charisma, but Karen Schmidt http://www.letsgrow.com.au likes to call it the “e factor”. The ‘e’ doesn’t stand for electronic, email obsessed or egocentric. We already have plenty of “those business people”.

This ‘e’ stands for engaging. In order to be a high performer you need to be engaged yourself before you can hope to create an environment that engages others.

So how is your e factor? Is it healthy and growing or has it withered and died?

In this look at the engagement age you will be asked to sit back and think about how your own engagement plays a part in the successful engagement of your team and how to ensure you positively influence those around you.

You will learn . . .

• How to identify your place on the engagement matrix
• Why most leaders lack engagement
• The impact of a disengaged business person: on themselves, their team and their organisation
• Signs of an engaging business person at work
• Defining your own personal ‘E’ philosophy
