Beyond the traditional trainer\, consultant and speaker roles\, every clever intervention seeks to inspire the audience it was prepared for. Through effective and productive tools\, Chmait has one thing in mind: provoking change and positively influencing the destiny of those he meets. In business\, this has proven to be very efficient. \nAs guest Professor at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business the Executive Center\, and at Schulich Executive Centre of York University\, he puts his vast and varied business experience at the disposal of management executives from all over the world. Long before anyone was speaking of human to human business practices\, Farès cultivated and refined a unique approach based on the human factor. His expertise in the study of individuals and the structure of the subjective experience sheds light on WHY people do what they do\, and not what they think they SHOULD be doing. \nFounder of IMPACT-PRO and a Post Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)\, Farès Chmait is also a coaching and training specialist with deep understanding of leadership\, emotional intelligence (EI)\, reading and interpreting the hidden side of communication\, project management\, dynamics of the individual within the team\, public speaking\, negotiation\, and cultural differences. \n  \nSharing the fruits of his experience with clients from 20 different nations and working in four different languages\, in addition to being a captivating speaker\, his knowledge of different national and ethnic groups has proved a major asset in this era of globalization. With conferences that are strictly tailored for cultural and entrepreneurial relevance\, Farès has coached hundreds of executives to communicate differently™ (his trademark in Canada and in the U.S.) and learn the art of public speaking and presentation skills\, through ontological coaching and NLP. \nThe author of numerous publications\, including Beyond Selling in 1995\, recognized as one of the best works on the application of new communications techniques to selling\, he also co-authored Coupables de Réussir in 2002 and published The Power of Decision in 2012. \nEvent Agenda Items and details: \nDuration: 1 hour \nDate: Friday September 17th 2021 \nTime: 11am EST \nAgenda Items: \n 1)What is Effective Communication \n-Why should anyone hire you? \n-Speak to the head\, heart and wallet \n-Decode the different personality types and learn to communicate adequately with each \n-Remove Ambiguity in others and alleviate their concerns \n-Respond to questions effectively \n2)Communication Barrier and the Power of Networking \n -Why the one size fits all do not work \n-Understanding and speaking to the different personality types \n-Words that change minds \n-Why should they accept your proposal \n-Establish Connections \n-Why perception is crucial \n3) The Art of Persuasion with Integrity \n -Managing Stalls and Objections \n-Uncovering what the other person really wants \n-Articulating your point and your value \n-Achieving Win-Win Outcomes \n-Bringing people over to your point of view \n***The event link for registration will be posted on September 6th\, you won’t want to miss this amazing event! **** URL:https://ottawa-worldskills.org/worldskills-event/fares-chmait-maximize-your-language-of-influence-for-employment/ LOCATION:Zoom ORGANIZER;CN="World Skills Employment Centre":MAILTO:ws@ottawa-worldskills.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20210921T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210921T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T030751 CREATED:20210916T145721Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210916T151008Z UID:10000169-1632232800-1632240000@ottawa-worldskills.org SUMMARY:Information Session "Empowering Newcomer Women (ENW) program" DESCRIPTION:The overall goal of the ENW program is to support Visible Minority Newcomer Women (VMNW) in their successful transition to the labour market. \nThe Information Session will provide you with more details about the ENW program. \nPlease make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements. \nTo be eligible for the Empowering Newcomer Women (ENW) program\, you must: \n\nidentify as a visible minority newcomer woman;\nbe a Permanent resident of Canada or Convention refugee with valid work permit;\nmeet the minimum level of CLB 5 in each language ability (speaking\, reading\, writing and listening);\nbe a resident of the City of Ottawa;\nbe unemployed or underemployed\n\nDate: September 21\, 2021 (Tue) \nTime: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nIf you are interested and eligible\, please contact us for Registration: nadiya@ottawa-worldskills.org \nNote: A day before the event\, registrants will receive a Zoom link to the event. \nThis initiative is a part of the national research pilot project “The Career Pathways for Visible Minority Newcomer Women (CPVMNW)” with the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC)\, which is funded by Immigration\, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
