PRSA CHICAGO MONTHLY LUNCHEON:
"Navigating Change Through Effective Communications"
Tuesday, February 16
Change is everywhere and virtually unavoidable. How individuals, teams and organizations adapt to change can make the difference between success and failure. Key to making change a positive, not a negative force, is communications. Therefore, the communications profession stands at the center of the change management process.
Please join us for a lively discussion on change management and the role we all must play. A panel of experts will discuss:
• The role of executive leadership in the organizational change management process.
• The role corporate culture plays in promoting or inhibiting change.
• Phases of the change management process.
• Tactical “best practices” for communicating with employees.
• Emphasizing the opportunities (over the risks) that change brings.
• Communicating change to customers and/or external stakeholders.
• Dealing with reluctance and/or cynicism.

PRSA National Free Webinar: Steps You Can Take Now to
Prepare for Your Future
Accelerate Your Career in Public Relations
FREE Webinar, Tuesday, April 13
3:00 – 4:00 p.m. EST
Learn how you can accelerate your public relations career even when job opportunities are scarce. Hear from communications strategist Jenny Schade, who will discuss how to grow your career in the midst of a dismal economy. A former therapist, Jenny has interviewed more than 1,000 employees in the process of guiding organizations through turbulent change. Jenny will then lead a discussion with a panel of Accredited pros who will discuss how becoming Accredited in public relations helped them become accomplished public relations practitioners. The panel will discuss what they, as employers, now look for in their hiring processes and how being Accredited can help job searchers land that special job.
MODERATOR
Jenny Schade combines her background in communications and counseling psychology to help organizations answer that critical question, “How do your customers and employees feel about your products and services?” Prior to starting JRS Consulting more than 15 years ago, Jenny earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Northwestern University, had a career counseling private practice and was director of recruitment for two years at Golin/Harris International in Chicago.
