Breakfast presentations focus on workplace

Consulting psychologist and partner at The Human Edge, Helene Vermaak says they have chosen a range of topics with which they believe a vast majority of individuals, in different phases of their work and personal lives will be able to identify.

"Throughout this series we will share real life stories, research data and advice and skills that can be implemented immediately, for individuals to create significant change and improvement."

How to resolve issues

The August breakfast will showcase how successful business women have used crucial conversations to resolve issues in the workplace. "We have found that many decision-makers avoid addressing the issues facing business women. The result is that these highly-talented women take their sought-after skills into other earning arenas, exacerbating the current skills shortage," says Vermaak. "The breakfast will provide business women with an overview of skills to tackle these situations."

The schedule for The Human Edge executive breakfast presentations, which will all be held in Sandton, Johannesburg, is as follows:

• How successful business women have used Crucial Conversations - 23 August 2013
