December, 2006 Membership Meeting Highlights

PRESENTATION

How It Was. How It Is. How I Wish It Could Be.

This will be Bob’s light hearted view of the world of International Standards. Bob has visited many, many facilities in North America, where has seen all levels of ISO compliance both good and not so good. Bob will address the current state of ISO systems, as well as his wish for the future. Bob’s homespun wit will make this an enjoyable presentation for all, regardless of their knowledge of ISO systems.

What have you done to go from saving the plant and maybe the company to hated villain? In this short 30 minutes Jim Sealey will arm you with the human relation tools to survive a ten step Kaizen event with at least one friend. The step by step method could allow you to walk through dark alleys again.

Jim Sealey, President and Chief Executive of Dale Carnegie-StLouis, has over thirty years experience in management, sales, and training. His people first attitude has helped him move people and companies to performance levels that were only imagined in months instead of years.

His staff has expanded to include twenty five professional trainers and consultants, from various areas of expertise. Besides Fred Weber, Dale Carnegie is a training partner to companies like, Boeing, Monsanto, Pfizer, Emerson, Bausch and Lomb and Union Pacific Railroad, to name a few.
