This one-day seminar is designed for secretaries, administrative assistants, and staff personnel who work within such governmental units as finance, public safety, code enforcement, procurement, building and zoning, and other job related positions.

During the program, participants will learn: (1) their role within the organization and exactly where they fit into the overall picture; (2) importance of knowing from the beginning what the chief/director expects; (3) recognizing the significance of knowing the community and the power structure within it; (4) how to deal with angry citizens and easing tempers and tensions; (5) some of the internal forces that create pressure and tension within the organization; (6)when to speak for the chief / director when the situation warrants; (7) ways to improve your verbal communication skills...certain words that can either arouse or calm; (8) how to deal with ethical dilemmas; (9) some liability issues; (10) ways of handling matters of confidentiality; and (11) some basics of conflict resolution.
