Why? Because, while many of us have heard about assertiveness as an essential part of what it means to be an effective leader, a collaborative team member, and a great communicator generally, few of us have a clear understanding of what it actually means or requires in practice. And that`s what we`ll do! We’ll clear up common confusions between being assertive and being aggressive and draw links between confident and assertive attitudes and behaviors. We’ll look at how to effectively get your voice heard but in an effort to find real win-win situations in your daily work and lives. Being assertive requires using judgment, so we`ll apply the skill across a variety of challenging situations. Come prepared to be challenged, to share, to reflect, and work together with like-minded professionals!   Objectives: • Understand what it means to be assertive – as a communication style, a mindset and as a set of behaviors • Be able to seek win-win solutions to the challenges you face – that means ensuring that you get want you want and need, and so does everyone else. • Express yourself confidently and directly • Learn to identify aggressive, passive and passive-aggressive styles of communication and respond assertively • Look at the some challenging, real cases and see assertive attitudes and behaviors in action. • Share ideas with like-minded professionals.   Who should attend? Our only requirement is that you come with an open mind, prepared to share, and expect to develop some practical tools that you can easily integrate into your daily life and work!   About the speakers:   Stephannie Tebow is a seasoned trainer and coach with more than 20 years of professional experience: 12 years of providing professional development services throughout the United States and 12 years serving the international community in China, Hungary, Vietnam, Russia, Central Asia and Canada.

                  The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce together with the Benelux Chamber of Commerce in China, the British Chamber of Commerce in China, the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China, the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, the Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China and the Canada China Business Council are delighted to invite you to a business event on March 15th:   The new investment landscape in China and abroad   There is growing speculation surrounding the future of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. But a recent study "Serve The People" by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) suggests that China will continue to attract inward investment owing to the growing strength of its domestic market. Ms. Louise Qian of EIU will speak about the FDI expectations in China.   There are two major themes to watch for FDI into China: one is that FDI into China has become increasingly focused on the services sector, rather than on manufacturing. Secondly, FDI flows will continue to move inland to places such as Chongqing in search of both cheaper labour and faster-growing markets.   In this seminar we will not only talk about FDI, but also about Chinese Overseas Direct Investment (ODI). The A CAPITAL DRAGON INDEX has been launched to serve as the reference indicator of Chinese ODI and tracks the globalization rate of the Chinese economy since WTO accession in 2001. It will be published quarterly by A CAPITAL.   Mr. André Loesekrug-Pietri will tell more about the findings with the A Capital Dragon Index. The Dragon Index measures the growth rate of Chinese ODI stock relative to GDP and tracks Chinese ODI aggregated by type of investment (minority/majority), by type of investor (SOE/Private), by region of the world and by main reason for investment (resources/technology/brand/market access).   Speakers: Ms. Louise Qian, Economist Intelligence Unit Mr. Andre Loesekrug-Pietri, A Capital   Venue: Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel.

                                                 Dear Members and Friends,     the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to the conference "Crisis Communications in Today’s Real-Time World" organized by China Entrepreneurs. in Beijing on 8th February 2012.   No matter how well an organization is managed and secured against potential disasters, awareness of the possibility of a crisis situation appearing on the doorstep is essential. The global business environment moves in real-time, and as a result the reaction to a crisis has to be fast. This of course makes accurate crisis management highly difficult to accomplish and exponentially more critical. Combining speed and accuracy in crisis management is a crucial part of every manager’s skill base, and the Crisis Communication Seminar will provide an opportunity to gain comprehensive insight into the challenges that face businesses in today’s realtime world.   8:30-9:00 Registration 9:00-9:45 Presentation: The First 24 Hours: The Secrets of Managing Crisis Communication The first moments after a crisis occurs are usually the most chaotic and stressful in the entire brand protection and restoration process. However, these moments are also the most important. Decisions and movements made during this time are essential to the success – or failure – of an entire enterprise. This presentation will investigate how to properly organize and train the crisis management team, the goals to achieve while containing a crisis, and ways to ensure high quality internal communication during the first crucial moments after an incident. 9:45-10:30 Presentation: Crisis Communication: Consumer’s Perspective The appearance of a crisis situation is troublesome not only for a company, but also for its clients. The image of your organization is immediately endangered, and the services you deliver may no longer appear reliable. Many clients will ask for an explanation, and this opportunity may provide you with your best chance of winning back their trust. Establishing a clear message and finding the right person to deliver it is an essential part of calming client fears. Sustaining your business requires identifying and meeting obstacles head-on, and when customers see a team that is aware of the situation and is able to deal with it, client retention is virtually guaranteed. 10:30-11:00 Coffee Break 11:00-12:00 The 24/7 Environment and Corporate Crisis Preparation Many companies formulate crisis planning strategies only after a crisis has occurred. When a crisis does happen, valuable time is wasted identifying the danger and establishing an approach to minimize harmful effects. During this panel discussion, experts will talk about the essential elements of a crisis program and the potential risks and problems a company will face in its absence.   Venue: Beijing American Club, 28 F, China Resource Building, No.8 Jianguomen Beidajie, Chaoyang District 北京美洲俱樂部 北京市朝阳区建国门北大街8号 华润大厦28层    How to apply?
