March 22, 2006: Personal Motivation
Strategies Topic at April WNET Meeting
Paula Behm,
professional development specialist at SUNY Oswego Institute
for Professional and Organizational Development, will present " Personal Motivation Strategies for Promoting
Your Business" at the next Women’s Network for
Entrepreneurial Training (WNET) monthly breakfast meeting Thursday,
April 6, 8 a.m. at the SUNY Oswego Institute for Professional and
Organizational Development in the Oswego County Industrial Park,
Phoenix (exit 14, state Route 481). Aunt Mary’s Italian
Cookies and Catering will provide breakfast.
As a professional
development specialist, Behm’s primary role is to partner with business, government,
and non-profit organizations to assist employers in identifying
employee training needs, develop customized training programs,
and to promote the Institute’s ongoing professional development
courses.
Her areas of
expertise are derived from her 13 years of work experience in
academic and human resource settings where she designed and delivered
marketing campaigns, implemented continuing education training
programs, and provided human resources consulting and career
coaching services. Her
academic credentials include an undergraduate degree in human resource
management with a focus in adult training and development from
SUNY Empire State College, a master’s degree in professional
education from Le Moyne College, and certification as a job and
career transition coach. She is the current president-elect
for the CNY American Society of Training and Development.
Self-talk and self-imagery are two of the
personal motivation strategies Behm will share during an interactive
session designed to assist participants in increasing their self-confidence
when verbally promoting their businesses.
