Education Session I

"The Write Impact: Creating Written Communications that Inform, Influence and Empower"

Effective writing skills are not just important for members of the marketing staff who promote your company to the outside world. They are equally vital for the human resources team, whose members communicate daily with your company’s most significant audience— its employees.

But are your internal communications making the “write” impact? In this interactive session, you’ll learn effective ways to grab and hold the reader’s attention, avoid embarrassing errors, manage the use of jargon, deliver bad news gracefully, and generate enthusiasm for new initiatives. Whatever your role, you’ll find out how powerful written communications can give you the edge in educating, engaging and empowering employees.

Kim Fabian has 17 years of experience as an award-winning writer, businesswoman and advisor of top performers. A sought-after speaker, trainer and consultant, she is president of Ovations Inc., a company that offers corporate communications consulting and training programs to drive performance in organizations. Kim specializes in internal communication and experiential team-building programs—both with the goal of improving employee engagement, satisfaction and performance.

Author of Magic Moments: A Busy Woman's Guide to Forgotten Pleasures, she has been featured on numerous radio and television programs across the country, as well as in many publications, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, First for Women, Selling Power, Fit, The Daily Record and SmartCEO.

Education Session II

"Accounting 101: How HR Professionals Affect the Bottom Line"

In this HR-friendly introduction to accounting and finance, you will learn about the basic financial statements and how H R professionals affect the organization’s financial performance. This session will also cover accounting fundamentals, including revenue and expense recognition and how HR professionals affect the bottom line, as well as the current literature regarding various metrics focusing on HR.

Lawrence G. Single ton is Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Associate Professor of Accountancy in the School of Business at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He teaches financial accounting and managerial accounting courses to undergraduate and graduate students. Dr. Singleton has
