Pump Up The Jam! Tips & Tricks to Motivate You and Your Staff!
July 21, 2010

Recorded Webinar coming soon

Do you find it difficult to keep your staff motivated, engaged, and communicating with each other? Do you find it difficult to keep yourself pumped up to take on another day?

I am fortunate to love my job, but there are still many days when I dread going into the office. The hustle and bustle of daily activities in an IT world can be overwhelming. There is always a customer calling, a new service rolling out, or a request that needs to be handled in a timely manner. It only takes a little bit of investment with your staff to keep them motivated, working toward goals, and focusing on customers.

In this webinar, I will share the tips and tricks that have helped me communicate with my staff more effectively and efficiently while helping to motivate them and keep them engaged every day. Overall, these ideas have helped me build a highly effective team.

Join Kathy Lyons, Helpdesk Manager at the University of Illinois, as she facilitates an encore presentation from the St. Louis SIGUCCS Conference...the presentation is one hour and then we will spend 30 minutes for questions and discussion.
