Ready to be inspired and hear a thought-provoking message from Olympian Johnny Quinn right here in Fort Worth?

You are invited to join the Greater Fort Worth Chapter of PRSA on October 9 for our professional development program.

Spend the morning learning the elite action steps of ultra-performers – men and women who find a way to get the job done with the current resources available – with author, leadership speaker and U.S. Olympian Johnny Quinn. Johnny will translate methods for productivity, performance and perseverance that he developed in the Olympics and professional football to help you and those in your organization train to become an ultra-performer in the workplace.

Culture can be a major competitive advantage in a tight economy and even tighter job market. A company’s culture drives people’s behavior, engagement, innovation, customer service and its overall profitability. And yet, many companies are not dedicating the time or resources to define and foster it. In this workshop, we’ll explore how and why you – as a public relations and communications professional – can develop and help drive team engagement throughout your organization. We’ll look at how and where to initiate the conversations, how to gather the insights you need and ways to put a plan into action.

When: Wednesday, May 8, 2019, 11:30 A.M.  – 1:00 P.M.
