CalSAE Luncheon Features Workplace Communications Speaker Sheryl Roush

The California Society of Association Executives featured international speaker Sheryl Roush at their San Diego Region Luncheon on Wednesday, May 13 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mission Valley, San Diego, CA.


Speaking to the topic of
“Critical Communications, Critical Connections, Critical Times” tailored for senior management and experienced sales team members, Ms. Roush began the program having attendees assess their communication techniques, then guided them through the Seven Multiple Intelligences, or modalities of listening and authentic persuasion. This presentation outlined the critical elements of connecting with others – including fellow members in the organization, employees and peers. 

Closing out the program, Sheryl offered tips on Creating a Positive Work Environment, what employees want, plus boosting morale and attitudes during these most challenging times. Members commented it was the most fun, high-level, and interactive program they have ever had at their meetings. 

Your presentation “Critical Communications, Critical Connections, Critical Times” was a complete hit with the CalSAE members. I found it to be an excellent combination of practical tips, helpful reminders, and was also delightfully funny. I am certain each member of the audience was not only entertained, but was able to learn from your presentation and take away something useful in their personal and professional lives.

I was also impressed with your preparation and personalization for this presentation. You have a special talent for engaging the audience in an inclusive and relaxing way that enhanced the experience for everyone. I’ve rarely seen presenters that can personally connect with so many in the audience in such a short time. It was quite impressive to witness.

It was also clear that your research and mastery on the subject of communications is very high. The subject of communications is critically important, and your information could be used by those throughout any organization. I also appreciate the way in which you were able to tailor the presentation based on the specific needs and requests you received from us in advance.

Thank you for an excellent presentation and I am looking forward to working with you in the future.

Best,
Jim Anderson, CAE
President & CEO

Chargers Fans on The Price is Right TV Game Show – Feb. 26

Chargers Fans on The Price is Right
TV Game Show – February 26


On January 13th a bus load of 43 women (and 2 men) drove from San Diego to Studio City, California for two morning tapings of the Dr. Phil Show at Paramount Studios, then over to CBS for the afternoon taping of The Price is Right at CBS Studios. Arrangements were made by Michele Dixon, The Organizing Doctor, professional organizer.

Being proud San Diego Chargers football fans, and having just won the Division Championship… and playing the Steelers in the Playoffs, it was unanimously decided our TV Game show matching “Team Shirts” would be the CHARGERS shirts.

Audience members are "interviewed" before the show by staff, for about 15-30-seconds. Since we had a busload, chances were good that one person would be “selected” to be on the show as a Contestant.

It’s so LOUD in the 350-person studio you can’t hear anything…so the stage crew hold up a sign with the next Contestant’s name on it at the time it’s announced!

Ester Berry was called as the FIRST Contestant called. Wearing her blue Chargers shirt, she did great at the bidding stand and went up on stage, and even had a chance to spin the wheel with show emcee Drew Carey.

The show went along fine… changing of the prize sets, commercial breaks, etc., then the final Contestant was called… Sheryl Roush…  seated on the TOP row in the very back! Wearing her gold Chargers shirt, she was seated in the Steelers fan section… but assertively held her own! (after all.. she proudly trains the Charger Girl cheerleaders in their speaking and interviewing skills!)

The Charger Fans show airs on Thursday, February 26th, on CBS (Channel 8, 10:00-10:30am Pacific).

Ester Berry is a Senior Recruiter of The Wellspring Group, Inc. She specializes in advanced technology searches across multiple industries for both Fortune 500 and mid-sized business sectors with the goal of matching the right people with the right job opportunities.

Sheryl Roush is an international speaker and top-rated trainer, specializing in boosting attitudes, creating positive work environments and stellar service skills. www.SparklePresentations.com

National Business Women’s Week Poem:
Heart of a Woman in Business

This is the opening poem to the new book,
Heart of a Woman in Business:

Stories, Strategies and Skills for
Business Success
,
by Sheryl L. Roush



Heart of a Woman in Business

by Sheryl L. Roush

A woman in business is like no other
Multi-brilliant at work, and often too, a mother.
Guided by vision to make a difference in this world,
Reporting for service, with her hair even curled.
Ready to go, whenever the need
She knows in her heart, there’s a calling to feed.
To do right, to speak up, determined to succeed
A role model that plants the possibility seed.
Knows who she is, right down to the core
Her essence, her passion—shine all the more!
She’s in charge with a handle on it all.
At the office, at home, or at the mall.
Even in the depth of all she may know
Realizes there’s still plenty room to grow.
So energetic, creative and fun…
Early rise, there’s much to be done!
She still finds time to laugh and to play
Sacred time too, to kneel and to pray
It comes from inside, driven by vision,
Get on board – she’s on a great mission!
Her daily prayer resides in God’s grace
Serving others from her heart sets the pace
Making use of her talent, wisdom and skill
From strengths and trust in Divine will.
Gentle, compassionate, loving and strong
In this sisterhood of success you want to belong
Anything she puts her heart to she can do
She’s not alone sis’ta – as you can too!
The road to get here has been quite a ride
“Call me ‘Woman’– it’s my source of pride!”
Come along, she’s blazin’ new trail
A woman in business—whom we all hail!
