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?" Jack has also authored several articles and an upcoming book, "Dealing with Beastly People". He has been selected by several speakers' bureaus as one of their national speakers.
Through the years Jack's programs have trained and entertained audiences in both business and educational communities throughout North America.

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.”

Savvy Workshop Presents: A “Head Shot” Marathon
Update Your Image, Enhance Your Profile, and Change Your “Status!”
Is your profile picture in need of an update? Are you still using that generic silhouette or head shot from 1998?

With the explosion of social networking, it is more important than ever to have the right image that will reflect your personal brand and promote you and your career. Everyone needs a photo or portrait that portrays them as the successful professionals they are—or want to be. That’s why we’re bringing together Savvy Expertise to help make you look great.

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:
Diane Wasilisian is the President/Founder of the progressive and full service web technology firm, Designdotcom, LLC. Designdotcom provides companies of all sizes with the competitive advantage of a strategically conceptualized and professionally implemented internet and web platforms. This allows Diane’s extensive experience in product marketing, project management for web applications, and social media strategy to collide with the top need expressed by organizations today: to do more with less. Her impressive background boasts academic training at the University of Alabama @ Birmingham, Boston University, and New York Institute of Technology as well as hands-on experience in Product Management and Marketing, and software development. 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.
Diane is also a speaker, trainer and strategist in social media. 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.

LISA AND HER GREAT TEAM HAVE EVEN OFFERED A BUSINESS BOOK CLUB NETWORKING EVENT AS A WAY TO BOOST PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND FORGE NEW RELATIONSHIPS AMONGST BUSINESS PEOPLE. THIS IS A COMPANY THAT TOTALLY GETS IT. IF YOU’RE NOT MOVING FORWARD, YOU’RE STANDING STILL AND IN THE FAST PACED WORLD OF BUSINESS, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BE STUCK IN PARK OR NEUTRAL.
