I'd love to speak at your company or event

If you like my ideas, and if you need a speaker for a conference, meeting, in-house training or other gathering, let's talk about how I can help. The following is taken from the homepage of my website at
www.mhwcom.com and gives a fast overview of why you might invite me to speak. Why not visit the site to learn more - you can even view some videoclips of me speaking at various conferences. Here's the excerpt:

Helen Wilkie, Canadian keynote speaker on communication is:

A dynamic, enthralling keynote speaker. Whether your event is a small conference with 50 people in the audience or a convention for thousands, Helen Wilkie will deliver a message that makes them think, sets the tone or sends them off on a high note. Helen loves the big platform—and audiences love her!
A lively, engaging workshop leader. Whether she's leading a concurrent session at your conference or an in-house workshop at your company, Helen rolls up her sleeves and dives right in! With her encouragement and friendly prodding, her session attendees work hard, learn a lot, and have fun in the process.
An insightful consultant. Unlike the traditional "communication consultant", Helen doesn't focus on media releases, newsletters, annual reports, internal or external messages for the masses. She doesn't create communication strategies. Instead, she finds places in your workplace where poor applied communication among executive, management and staff at all levels is costing your organization money, and then she shows you and your people how to plug the leaks and stop this dollar drain. Helen calls this "The Hidden Profit Center", and it's the focus of her consulting practice. (For more information, visit http://www.HiddenProfitCenter.com)
A prolific author: Besides her books, "Message Received and Understood!" and "The Hidden Profit Center", her booklets and audio programs, Helen has had hundreds of articles published in a wide range of publications across North America (not to mention on the Internet, where she is constantly surprised at where her articles turn up!).

You've got mail, but who's got the rules?

Frustration with the technology of communication seems to be growing, as people realize what I've been saying for years: communication technology gets in the way of communication.

Here's one writer's take on the process changes we are making in how we handle and respond to e-mail. It's worth considering how YOU should handle your e-mail.

You've got mail, but who's got the rules?

Online Recruitment - The magazine for recruitment and HR professionals involved in internet recruitment

If you've sometimes observed your employees' behaviour on the job and asked yourself, "What on earth could he be thinking?", this article will be enlightening to you. Emotional intelligence accounts for much of what people do on the job, the ways they behave, the ways they react to situations and other people and many other things that puzzle managers. If you have to manage people, take a look at this. It'll give you a few "aha" moments.

Survey on new manager skills training

In preparation for an exciting new service I will be offering this fall, I am gathering information about the training that is given (or not given) to new or emerging managers. If that includes you (or a friend or colleague), I'd value your input.

To complete the survey (it takes just a few moments) please go to

http://www.surveymonkey.com/Users/71687446/Surveys/41371063429/F86CD111-6B84-470C-AA1B-2B92F22D1142.asp?U=41371063429

I'm sorry it's such a long link, and only part of it automatically becomes a hyperlink. So you need to actually copy the whole thing and paste it into your browser. This will take you directly to the survey.

The survey is completely anonymous - I have no way of knowing who you are. So please feel free to be honest and as complete as possible in your answers.

Thanks!
