Registration Deadline: September 05, 2009
Please register before this date to ensure event is not cancelled.
Program Summary:
Thinking strategically is something that we all know is important; yet probably don’t spend as much time doing it as we should. It is particularly challenging when we’re working in a team-based environment.
This one-day workshop provides a series of tools and processes that keep groups and work teams moving and on track – “from creative chaos to detailed action plans”.
Anyone who leads a work group or team will benefit from this practical set of tools.
You Will Learn to:
• Involve others in decision making without digressing or getting off track
• Generate, categorize and reach consensus on hundreds of ideas in less than an hour
• Determine cause and effect relationships and identify the driving issues
• Identify and display gaps between current and desired performance in critical areas
• Utilize these tools to help build team consensus, create support for ideas, and generate buy in for action plans
• Allow team members to 'safely' contribute, openly and honestly
• Provide practical, easy to follow steps towards solutions.

Challenge of Change with Warren Macdonald
September 1, 2009 (Point Grey Campus)
Please register before this date to ensure event is not cancelled.
Program Summary:
We’ve all heard it a million times; “change is constant”, “the only certainty in life is change”, “change or perish”.
We all know it; what we need is for someone to show us how to deal with it. Warren’s “Challenge of Change”
presentation will help your group realise that challenges brought on by change hold endless opportunities for
innovation and personal and professional growth. That it is possible to not just survive, but to thrive despite
adversity.
You Will Learn:
The ability to recognize and breakthrough mental barriers to change
Tools to turn change and challenge into catalysts for both business and personal growth
A powerful shift in thinking that will put challenges into perspective
A mindset that seeks solutions and opportunities
Presenter Bio:
Warren Macdonald’s life’s boundaries were redefined in April 1997 with his accident on North Queensland’s (Australia) Hinchinbrook Island. Climbing to the Island’s tallest peak, he became trapped beneath a one-ton slab boulder in a freak rock fall. Two days later he was rescued, only to undergo the amputation of both legs at mid thigh.
Just ten months later, he climbed Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants.
In February 2003, he became the first double above-knee amputee to reach the summit of Africa’s tallest peak, Mt Kilimanjaro (19,222ft), and more recently, in a spectacular effort requiring more than 2,800 pull-ups over 4 days, created history once again in an ascent of America's tallest cliff face, El Capitan. He is also the only above knee amputee to make an ascent of Canada’s landmark frozen waterfall, the 600 ft “Weeping Wall” in Alberta.
Warren’s first book, “A Test of Will” is an Australian bestseller and the subject of the “Trapped under a Boulder” episode of the Discovery Channel series “I Shouldn’t Be Alive”. His film documenting the epic four-week journey to Federation Peak, Australia most challenging mountain summit, “The Second Step”, has been acclaimed worldwide, screening on National Geographic Television and winning eight international awards including Grand Prize at the prestigious “Banff Mountain Film Festival”.
Warren has appeared on numerous news and current affairs programs, including “Larry King Live”, “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, and “The Hour” with George Stroumboulopoulos. He has written articles for “CNN World Edition” (WWW), “Australian Geographic”, “Speaking of Impact” and “Professional Speaker”.
He lives in Winlaw, British Columbia with his partner Margo Talbot.
