Communicate-Few Connect January 29

Colleagues and Friends in the Movement:

Even if you can't join us for the legislative appointments during
Washington seminar, this Sunday's (1/29) program held at the Holiday
Inn Capitol should be very valuable. You do not need to attend
Washington Seminar to participate in this program.

*"MANY COMMUNICATE- FEW CONNECT"*

"Don't miss this unique opportunity for professional development.
Whether you are a student, a young professional, or well along in
your career, you will benefit immensely from these two workshops."

Rules of Engagement - If you have ever been stymied by the prospect
of attending a networking event or a reception, you're not alone.
Walking into a room filled with dozens of people who you have never
before met can be overwhelming for new entrants to the workforce and
established professionals alike. This program will give you ten
"rules" that will help you make the most of any Washington D.C.
business-social event, including how to prepare for and navigate the
events, and most importantly, how to follow up and build
relationships with your new important contacts.

Communicating with Style - Some studies suggest that fully 85% of
your success is directly linked to your ability to effectively
communicate. Yet, few professionals receive any formal training in
basic communication skills. This highly interactive 90-minute program
is an introduction to communication styles. Because your
communication style is based, in part, on your behavioral style
preference, we'll use the DISC assessment tool to help you identify
your individual behavioral style preference. Then, we'll turn our
attention to the people with whom you work and give you some clues to
help you identify their behavioral style preferences, too.
Highlighting points of commonality and potential conflict, we'll
focus on adjustments that you can make to enhance your communications
with others.

Mary R. Crane. Esq.

A graduate of George Washington University's National Law Center,
Mary Crane practiced law and lobbied in Washington D.C. for nearly ten 
years.
Working first for the American Petroleum Institute and then with the
American Heart Association, Crane specialized in non-profit tax
issues. In the early 1990s she decided to pursue her life-long
fascinations in food and wine. With these interests in mind, she
spent two years exploring the world of gastronomy at the prestigious
Culinary Institute of America, from which she graduated with honors.
Crane further gained certification as a sommelier from the Court of
Master Sommeliers London, England. Immediately thereafter, she began
work as an assistant chef at the White House. Crane left the
professional kitchen and approached law firms with her innovative
program, "The Rules of Engagement." That seminar provided
participants with the rules they needed to successfully work
receptions and navigate the more formal dining setting.

Since then, Crane has expanded the training programs she offers to
include many of the other practical business skills all professionals
need to succeed. Her programs cover a broad range of skill sets
including: getting the most out of networking events and receptions,
managing business lunches and dinners, communicating effectively via
paper or e-mail, interacting effectively with other behavioral styles
at work, bridging the generation and gender gaps, and working
ethically. Crane's clients include many Fortune 500 companies and
more than 50% of the AmLaw100.  She is a frequent speaker at national
conferences, and has appeared on 60 Minutes, Fox Business News, and
ABC Radio. She makes monthly guest appearances on Let's Talk Live, a
Washington, D.C. televised ABC-affiliate program. Crane has also been
quoted extensively in a variety of print and electronic media,
including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com,
Fortune.com, and CNN.com

This highly-anticipated seminar will take place on Sunday, January
29, 2017 at the Holiday Inn Capitol located on 550 C Street SW
Washington DC in the House Room to be held at 3:00 to 6:15pm.

Please join us with this world renown speaker who will be offering
her expertise at a nominal fee of $15 for each 90-minute session or
$20 for both.

Sponsored by the Potomac Chapter/National Federation of the Blind of
Virginia and the DC Affiliate.

Facilitated by Mary Crane, Esq.,?creator of the *100 Things You Need To
Know* book series, which provides people entering the workforce with
crucial information in easy-to-absorb, almost tweetable chunks. The
series currently includes *Starting Work* and *Networking.*
