How effective are you as a leader during change?

Even if you don’t hold a positional power, how good are you at motivating and managing yourself and those around you to higher performance, positive outcomes and greater purpose?

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is our ability to effectively manage our own and others’ emotions and it has been found to significantly contribute to personal excellence and all forms of leadership both in personal and professional settings. As people who work in change we often seek to influence – EQ is core competency of those who are effective influencers, and helps us not to burn out in change.

The Change Management Professionals group would like to invite you to our first 2013 session:

“Working as an EQ Coach”.

The session will introduce the EQ competency model taking you through the stages of Self Awareness, Self Management and Personal Leadership.

We will then workshop the model in the context of an EQ Coach working as a member of a team to identify the challenges of managing your own emotions as well as helping others’ to manage theirs during a period of workplace change.

IABC Victoria presents…

Thought leaders Dionne Lew and Trevor Young will take a provocative look at the impact of social technologies on business and the role corporate affairs and marketing executives have in leading this change.

With Boston Consulting Group predicting that by 2016, online sales will contribute $4.2 trillion to the GDP of G20 nations, the need for corporates to have a strategic social agenda is critical.

CEO of the Social Executive, Dionne Lew, discusses the business imperative for social and why social literacy is a must-have future skill.

At the heart of the socialisation of business is the creation of a connected brand.

Trevor Young – the PR Warrior –  talks about his philosophy of The Connected Brand, a smarter way to market business in a hyper-connected world through content creation and building communities that are empathetic and inclusive.

Date: February 21

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Dust off your networking boots, thoughts and opinions and get ready to join IABC Victoria for our first Be Heard event of the year on Tuesday February 21 at The Wheeler Centre.

Lachlan Drummond – who leads the Melbourne office of Newspoll - is a master of establishing facts and interpreting data that has influenced decision making at many of Australia’s leading organisations throughout his career.  Research is increasingly being used to inform the media agenda, and communicators now have access to a broad range of DIY online tools.

A must for all professional communicators, Lachlan will lead a discussion on the art of influence through research drawing on insights from behind the political polling scenes at Newspoll, to case studies on research commissioned purely as a PR tool, the pros and cons of DIY research, as well as a story-telling approach that gets ideas over line.

A few of the topics we are set to cover include:

-          What does research bloke know about communication?

-          Current trends in research and the implications for professional communicators?

-          What it’s worth? The merits of using free online tools vs investing in a market research partner

-          What collection methods work best for your audience?

-          Strategies for extracting quality data

-          Packaging your results and messages for the board room, employees and other stakeholders

Lachlan Drummond is Group Account Director and Head of Strategic Research at Newspoll, and is an accomplished public speaker. He has over 15 years of experience in marketing and market research, previously lectured in marketing communications at Monash University and was a former Treasurer of the Victorian Committee & Qualified Practising Market Researcher (QPMR).
