&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Afternoon session: Increase Your Leadership Through Influential Communication with David Liddell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; One of the most powerful tools for a manager or leader is the ability to create and foster strong relationships with the people around them. This is accomplished through influential communication. Whether you are already a leader, or aspiring to become one, or just want to increase your communication skills to help you advance your career or perhaps land that next job interview, this workshop will help you identify useful skills to   motivate and influence others and build stronger working relationships. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evening session: Myths, Misunderstandings, and MIsinformation About S&amp;amp;OP with Bob Stahl&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sales and  operations planning (S&amp;amp;OP) has been around for quite some time, but there  remain numerous myths and misconceptions about its implementation and proper  use. Unaddressed, these misconceptions can get in the way of successful  S&amp;amp;OP practices and become deal breakers. This presentation will detail 10  specific, misunderstood elements of S&amp;amp;OP, drawing on real-world experience  with companies in many different industries.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sales and  operations planning (S&amp;amp;OP) has been around for quite some time, but there  remain numerous myths and misconceptions about its implementation and proper  use. Unaddressed, these misconceptions can get in the way of successful  S&amp;amp;OP practices and become deal breakers. This presentation will detail 10  specific, misunderstood elements of S&amp;amp;OP, drawing on real-world experience  with companies in many different industries.  &lt;/p&gt;
