Summer Workshop
Workshop continued from page 1 how to develop specific knowledge of the emergency response actions the individual crowd manager will be responsible for within the facility; how to safely direct and assist people during an emergency or non-emergency evacuation; and the importance of developing a specific emergency action plan for their facility. Saturday was a day devoted to workshop and round tables as well as a dynamic keynote speaker on the “Top Ten Things to Start Doing Today to Build Your Leadership Skills.” The speaker covered all the roles you as a leader have in your life, not just in your work environment. She addressed ten things you can start doing today that will help you lead professionally, socially, and at home that will increase your credibility and make your team members want to follow you and engage in your vision. The Keynote speaker was Lisa Long, Long Consulting, Leadership and Marketing. As mentioned, the Friday evening dinner was hosted by the Pensacola Interstate Fair and co-sponsored by the Pensacola Interstate Far; EMC Tickets LLC, and Reithoffer Shows.
