Decoding the Engagement Challenge or Why People Leave.

Paula Fowler Presents to The BENG, October 13, 2020

Decoding the Engagement Challenge or Why People Leave is a conversation about the four factors of employee engagement – Job, Manager, Team, and Culture and how they impact productivity. PI’s motto is Better Work, Better World and the premise is that by understanding human needs and behaviors, we can select a job and company that “fits” our natural tendencies and be happier at work, manage people more successfully and drive company success.

Paula Fowler

Paula Fowler is a strategic leader with a proven ability to create a company-wide vision and drive business results. She has a passion for working directly with entrepreneurs to implement strategies for growth and profitability. Paula has over two decades of management and consulting experience in small to mid-sized businesses across a broad range of functional areas, including sales, marketing, finance, accounting, operations, human resources, customer support, and business development.

She is skilled at analyzing existing operations and implementing strategies, processes, and technology to improve company performance. She believes that entrepreneurs often know what to do – but lack the time or internal expertise to accomplish the task at hand. Paula will deftly tackle the project and drive it to completion.

Paula is also a certified Six Disciplines Coach, a management system for purpose-driven leaders of small to mid-sized companies.  Six Disciplines combines on-site business coaching, workshops, and collaborative software to close the gap between the future vision of a company and today’s reality – by engaging the hearts and minds of every employee in the organization and aligning actions.

Kerri Cufaro will present

Issues Facing Job Seekers (including LinkedIn tips)
Kerri Cufaro

If Kerri had a nickel for every time she answered “how did you ever get into recruiting?” she would be on a tiny island, that she owns, sipping frozen drinks with little umbrellas. With a finance degree and an investment analyst background, Kerri walked into an Atlanta staffing office in 2003 and sought help finding another analyst position. As the story goes, she was recruited to be a recruiter.

Kerri always boasts, “I absolutely love what I do; I am passionate about being in Talent Acquisition and helping people find jobs; it is the best feeling in the world!”

Working for several staffing agencies and consulting firms as well as internally recruiting for a few corporations, Kerri has a keen knowledge of managing high performing teams, strategizing with executive leaders, consulting with hiring managers and human resource partners and sourcing and recruiting stellar candidates. Kerri has successfully managed relationships at all levels between the client/hiring manager and the job seeker throughout the interview process to ensure timely and effective placements.

What have Kerri’s candidates, colleagues and executives said about her?
• “honest, passionate … proven veteran … right kind of leader … commitment to excellence and professionalism … motivated and forward-thinking … best recruiter I worked within 50 years”
• “Talent Acquisition leader with a successful track record of leading change initiatives, improving processes and operational metrics, exceeding goals, and managing staff.”

Kerri grew up on Long Island in New York, attended the University of Maryland for 3 years (ZTA love) before transferring and graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Hofstra University. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Atlanta in 1995.

The BENG

“Members Helping Members”

Peter Frost, President of BENG, said networking is critical as job searching strategies and career transition continues to change in this economy. “Those in transition can no longer rely on job search engines to fuel their search, they need to continuously build a network and stay connected to that network,” explains Frost. “Most new members begin to realize all of the networking contacts they let go during years of secure employment and they’re encouraged to become career networkers.”

Business Executives Networking Group “BENG is a non-profit organization providing mid to senior-level professionals seeking employment, with a forum that will facilitate their job search and enhance their networking skills. This multidiscipline, independent group of mid-to senior-level professionals contains job seekers and employed members and business owners. BENG provides employment information, opportunities for networking, emotional support, and tools to accelerate their members’ job search. We rely upon the spirit of generosity and cooperation of our members, whether in transition or employed, to accomplish this mission.”

August 11, BENG Atlanta Meeting via ZOOM, Featuring Dan Jourdan

Dan Jourdan

Dan Jourdan or “The Deej” as he is known, is a salesman.  He has successfully started from scratch, built up, and sold five out of six of his own businesses.  But he is not a businessman, he is a salesman.  The one business that failed was when he tried to be a real human, instead of a salesman.  With his current firm “Dan Jourdan & Associates” Dan now writes, speaks, and sings about how to grow your business quickly, through strategic acquisition. (I don’t really sing) Dan lives in Georgia with his wife Sharon and two kids Matthew and Sophie.

 

Dan will present “The Corona Close”  How to Prospect Effectively in Today’s New Market.

If you are a Job Seeker, this discussion will help you understand the nuances of the current labor market so you will be better able to understand the opportunities for success.

Small business owners will find that this discussion will help them better understand how they can address the needs and priorities of their clients and prospects.

Dan Jourdan is about Building Self Functioning, Highly Profitable Sales Organizations For Your Small Business.
