Executive Webinar: Influence in the Workplace The slides are not worth anything. A questioner had to ask the speaker to repeat what are the 10 positive techniques. The agenda says learn 5 things how to gain influence. I counted 4 things. Again, I am saying that there were no slide to list the 5 things. Please do not use different words to mean the same thing. Pne of the 10 techniques is logical persuasion. But there was a slide that said rationale persuason. I think there was a typo, meant to be rational, not rationale. I guess both forms of persuasion mean the same thing, but it was not clear.

Going Out of Business This company is no longer what they used to be. They are downsizing people and facilities. They don't teach classes anymore, only resell. They sold me a class and what I got was something not even close to in value. A year ago or two they were very good, but now that's all changed. You can walk into their office and tell for yourself. The place looks like it's a temporary setup.

Great a loved the classes just felt like they were to short for the amount of information being given. Also more hands on is always appreciated.

Unprofessional & Unethical Employer ( rather it is just another mom n pop shop! Absolutely unprofessional and unethical organisation with all frills and fancies. Inside, it is bad culture of sycophants scratching each others back. 1) Company should fire gossipers/politicians who are pulling credits of people who are hard workers and rather focus on retaining skills and talents. 2) To retain and reduce the attrition rate ( of joiners in 1st yr) which is very high, do not believe and create wrong perceptions without scanning & digging deep into harassment & vicious politics that is happening at the ground level. 3) Introspect & Summon some people level who make harassing statements & dominate aggressively because they dont want things to change for good. They are here to hide their own mistakes & gaps. 4) Before firing innocent people, seek clarifications and demand time & measures to help. 5) Work on your own HR policies, protocols and measures before spoiling someone else's careers. 6) Weak leadership that lacks trust in people beneath and is blindfolded to sensitise facts and ill treatment happening by a few growing managers. Absolutely wrong choice to have joined this mom n pop shop!

Interesting but flawed presentation I thought the walkthrough of installing VCSA 6 was interesting, but felt it could have gone a little farther. The presenter seemed to blow off part of the presentation due to the problems with disk space. Also, it was clear he did not have a script to follow so it seemed disjointed and missing pieces. Being unprepared really took away from the flow of the presentation.
