AFP Edmonton Presentation

Brent Barootes presents at the AFP Edmonton Luncheon and an afternoon workshop immediately following!  Check the event website for information on how to attend!

Luncheon Session Topic:

Work Life Balance is not a reality… Success comes in work and life when you make it Integrated!

This luncheon address will look at the busy lives of fundraisers and how we are all pulled from so many angles, both a work and home. Everyone talks about trying to “get work – life balance” but is it really achievable? Come hear Brent Barootes present his successful work – life integration philosophy and how this can make your daily routine way less stressful. It is a mindset not a structure and the silos have to go!

Workshop Session Topic:

Securing the Deal – How to Negotiate with Success

Every day we are all sales people. Whether we are selling our kids to wear certain clothing or eat that spinach salad; be it trying to sell our spouse on a three week trip to Europe versus another summer holiday at his parent’s cottage with all his brothers and sisters in remote northern Manitoba; to buying a new car or house; or trying to close the big sponsorship deal for your gala or event. Every day we each negotiate and as fundraisers, we are sales people. We are helping to raise money and in sponsorship we need to often negotiate because it is a business deal. Learn that great negotiation produces two winners not a winner and a loser. Understand the techniques and concepts to successful negotiation and how to apply to your job and your life. This two and a half hour workshop will provide you with the skills and tools to deliver win-win outcomes from all your negotiations!
