Print Savvy Presents: Dealing With Beastly People
Managing People Who Go Beyond Being Difficult…
Jack Agati's Dealing with Beastly People
Presented by Print Savvy March 9
http://www.beastlypeople.eventbrite.com
We all manage difficult people in our lives. However, what do we do after we’ve tried the usual conflict resolution methods and these people don’t respond but become worse in their behaviors? They’ve gone beyond being difficult. They’re acting beastly and adversely affecting all around them. Allowing them to continue would cause great harm. They need to be dealt with now.
Jack presents a two-fold program designed to provide us with a practical approach that works. It is based on Two Truths: that people know what they are doing and they need to be held responsible for their choices.
We begin the process by discovering the goals of their purposeful behaviors. Then we need to choose to become pro-active by developing a plan based on the premise that the beastly person must be responsible and held accountable for his/her actions, entitled to the consequences that result. Learning how to avoid being manipulated by their excuses such as: “I’m sorry … I promise, etc.” will help us guard against becoming a society of non-responsibility.
Meet our expert:
Jack is a presenter and trainer in the area of human relations and management. He has combined his education and experiences into a practical and common sense series of presentations relating to the successful management of the Social Aspects of Business. For over twenty five years as a professional speaker, his appearances at conferences and business engagements have earned him a reputation for useful and relevant material combined with humor that makes learning enjoyable.
Jack is a graduate of West Virginia University with a Master's degree in Counseling and has done post-graduate work at the University of Vermont. Prior to becoming a presenter, Jack worked for over fifteen years in public education as a counselor and Director of Student Services. He has also held management positions in the private sector.
Jack has taught courses at the college level. He has appeared on television and radio and created the popular audio series "Why Do Kids Do the Things They Do?"

Savvy Workshop Selected as Decade Designer for
Print Savvy’s Savvy Workshop is proud to announce that we have been selected as one of ten Decade Designers for the upcoming Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce’s 2011 Centennial Celebration. The Centennial Celebration will be this year’s rendition of the Annual Dinner, and celebrate the exact 100th Anniversary of the Chamber’s incorporation. The Annual Dinner is the Chamber’s most prestigious event, and this year’s Centennial Celebration will definitely be the event of the century!
After a thorough interview process, only ten creative agencies were selected as Decade Designers and are tasked to develop individual, interactive displays to celebrate the greater Manchester area’s many accomplishments during an assigned decade. Savvy will be presenting achievements between 1941 – 1950, which some call the “Fighting Forties” decade. The resulting decade exhibits will be revealed as a living museum at this evening event on April 21, 2011 at the Verizon Wireless Area.
“We at Savvy Workshop were honored to accept the responsibility of designing the decade from 1941-1950. Given that we use the iconic image of Rosie the Riveter regularly in our marketing materials, we were especially excited to take this time span on,” said Lisa Landry, President and Founder of The Savvy Workshop and its sister company, Print Savvy. “This was such a pivotal time in our nation’s history as well as a time when many changes were transpiring within the Greater Manchester business community,” Landry continued “We plan to bring the Can Do! Attitude that Rosie inspires to every aspect of our exhibit in order to tell the story of how Manchester contributed to the economic recovery of this region during the 1940’s and how our Chamber and its member industries contributed greatly to the success of the war effort.”

Social Media Awareness with Diane Wasilisian
This program will address security settings, 10 ways to keep your child safe online, 5 things to never post on Facebook, what to be aware of for your high school grad and your college grad who have online profiles. Unfortunately most parents and young people don’t realize the negative impact and how important it is to be more conscientious of the types of postings made, what to know about privacy settings, and importance of what not to post ever on social media sites. We will also address cell phone usage by children and some of the important things that should be considered when allowing a young child or tween to have a cell phone. Included in this discussion will be rules, amount of usage, possible inappropriate use towards others or sexting concerns.
Meet our expert:

Designdotcom provides companies of all sizes with the competitive advantage of a strategically conceptualized and professionally implemented internet and web platforms.

Diane is a transplant originally from Johnstown, PA and has lived in New Hampshire since 1999. She is an active member of Women's Center for Business, BPM of Boston and Women Inspiring Women in NH.

She helps organizations expand, define and leverage their online footprint for increased profit and optimal return on relationships (ROR). She is involved in social media awareness because she has young grandchildren. While helping her son and daughter with their kid’s access to online communities she realized there was a real need to help parents, tweens, teens, college grads and parents with understanding the impact social media/online communities might have on their children’s current lives and future opportunities.
Diane speaks to how parents need to be proactive in discussing rules, having their child’s log on info and then monitoring their online activity regularly. She even includes in her talks the use of cell phones by the very young and teenagers.
Currently Diane is writing a book called Social Media Awareness, “Are you going to let social media determine your child’s future?” This book will have this important information in detail including families stories, examples of how to do things and screen shots to help anyone who needs to know what to do to keep their child safe online.

GETTING CREATIVE IN A DIFFICULT JOB MARKET August 26, 2010
Manchester, NH
By all accounts, last night’s Gainful Employment Seminar at Savvy Workshop was a huge success. Initiated by Lisa Landry, President and CEO of Print Savvy, Inc. and the Savvy Workshop, the meeting was well attended and facilitated by Fran Allain, Employee Retention Project Manager for the State of New Hampshire's Department of Resources and Economic Development Office.
Fran shared her heart-wrenching story about her own difficult layoff and her personal journey to finding meaningful employment again, after reinventing herself and her career. Having had the experience herself, she understands and empathizes with those affected by the most recent downturn. She gave us an overview of the programs, job boards and support systems available through the State of New Hampshire and the Department of Resources and Economic Development to those currently looking for work.
Also on hand were Greg Fall, Vice President at Career Management Associates of Bedford NH and Pam Oliwa, the Rapid Response Coordinator for the NH Department of Economic Resources. Both Greg and Pam shared ideas and strategies for getting hired. Greg also gave an extensive class on resume development and met one on one with each candidate to discuss specific strategies that will help them to stand out and differentiate themselves from the crowded field of applicants that might be also seeking the same position.
Together, they explored the best ways to increase a job seeker’s value in the marketplace. Most attendees were unemployed an average of 18 months – but some as few as 3 or 4 weeks. Also in attendance were currently employed individual, looking to make a change, recent college grads, or under-employed professionals looking for more gainful employment.
“I’ve been in the job market for over 25 years, and this is definitely the most difficult job market I’ve ever seen. My inbox has been flodded with resumes for the past two years. Most of these folks are talented, hard working, experienced professionals that I know and have worked with in the past. I wanted to do something to help them and to let them know their value is still there – and that there is light at the end of the tunnel!”
The Savvy Workshop will be hosting a second session to further support our friends and colleagues who are seeking gainful employment on Sept 8, 2010 from 6 – 9 PM. Dawn Cerrato of Synergy Management Associates will be presenting. Registrations are now being taken at http://www.gainfulemployment2.eventbrite.com.
