orange peal newsletter - workforce a world-class newsletter for you to peruse and read. ... yvonne...

With a new year comes fresh opportunities for growth and personal improvement, and 2017 promises to be another great year

for Orange Empire members to take action on their individual and professional goals. Ideas submitted by members include Mock Interview training, workshops on Public Speaking, and a request to

follow up on the excellent Business Writing class taught by Val

Moeller. Also in the hopper are plans for a workshop centered on helping members interview better and get that much-desired

promotion. Details will be posted on our website www.oeiawp.com

as soon as an event is confirmed.

Just around the corner is our annual Orange Empire Awards Banquet on March 10, 2017, once again at the Hotel Fullerton. Members submitting a registration form with payment by Wednesday, February 22, 2017 will qualify for the discounted rate of $30. Non-Members who join Orange Empire will receive $10 off the

customary non-member rate of $40. Individuals from other chapters who submit payment by are also welcome to come and celebrate with us the awards for member excellence for this past year, details and a registration form can be found inside this edition of the Orange Peal.

Speaking of the Orange Peal, our editor Jacklyn Shih has really excelled in putting

together a world-class newsletter for you to peruse and read. On top of that, she has lent her talents to keeping our website among the very best among any local sub-chapter in IAWP. We would love it if you would leave a comment on the web page letting us know your thoughts as well as any suggestions you have for educational events.

We also have two big educational events coming up this year. On April 27 and 28, IAWP members from all over California will gather in San Jose for the Annual State Educational Conference and Convention, where members will attend multiple educational sessions and hear many uplifting speakers, as well as learn which of our Orange Empire

Award winners were also selected to receive awards for personal and collaborative excellence at the state level. Then we, as the local chapter, will welcome the world to Costa Mesa for the 104th Annual International Conference in June. (President’s Message Continues on Page 2)

(President’s Message Continues)

How exciting it will be to network with

other workforce professionals from all

over the United States and the World,

learning about challenges in other states

and nations, what is working for them,

and sharing our success stories as well.

Reserve your time off, use your Personal

Professional Development (PPD) days,

and secure your spot at these exciting

opportunities for learning.

Lastly, I want to extend thanks

on behalf of the Orange Empire board for

all the many ways you are making a

difference in our local communities. We

just completed a holiday gift drive, which

benefitted children newborn through age

18, who have been abandoned, abused,

neglected, and/or placed in foster care.

Many thanks to all Orange Empire

members who donated many varied

items to help meet the wide range of ages

and needs. This event followed a food

drive collection for Second Harvest Food

Bank and our participation in the Walk

against Breast Cancer in October.

Together with the “Pop Tabs” and “Box

Tops for Education” labels that members

donate every month, Orange Empire

continues to be a difference maker in the

lives of many needy and often otherwise

forgotten individuals. Thank you OE!

2017 -104th Workforce Development Conference



Our annual IAWP Interna-

tional educational conference has a

brand new name, the Workforce

Development Conference. We look

forward to seeing you in Costa Me-

sa, CA June 18-21, 2017

Introducing one of the Workforce

Development Conference Keynote

Speaker: Tiana Sanchez

By Grant Axtell,

International Vice-President

The Upside of Change and

Our Audacity to Thrive

Why is change so widely un-

attractive? Is it because change indi-

cates a flaw or failure in the system?

Is it because change is uncomforta-

ble? Change, like failures, is una-

voidable, and it causes us to rethink

our plans, rethink our motives and

rethink our potential. Understand-

ing its components on an individual

level can help us relate it to an or-

ganizational level. Change is im-

portant to understand as it affects

many facets of our life, career, and

relationships. Its effect on the indi-

vidual is of great importance as it

will filter through and influence oth-

er areas of our lives. Both change

and failure can create fear and un-

certainty and it is important to un-

derstand what to do when it occurs

and preparing for them when they

happen.

• Learn how to spot the “upside of

failures” and thrive in the midst of

that experience.

• Discover how a “growth mindset”

is the difference between quitting

after a failure and/or applying what

you learn from that failure to suc-

ceed.

• Learn how the corporate landscape

has changed the way we work now

and will work by 2020.

• Learn how the workers are more

inspired, changing from individual

contributors to collaborative co-

horts.

• Understand how our “reactions”

to change makes change easy or

hard, tolerable or intolerable, not the

change itself.

• Find out how your initial reaction

to change tell more about who you

are than any personality assessment.

Tiana has 17 years of manageri-

al and training experience working with

CEO’s and Educators alike towards

more qualified, capable and confident

workforce. We work with organizations

that are in a “state of change” and strug-

gling to meet corporate objectives result-

ing in mediocre performance and low

productivity. We are dedicated to im-

proving overall performance through as-

sessment, training, coaching, solution-

based strategies and self-mastery.

Inspirational Message at 104th Workforce Development Conference

By: Steve Bent, IAWP International Executive Director

The International Association of Workforce

Professionals is pleased to announce that Eric McEl-venny will be a keynote speaker at the104th Workforce Development Conference in Costa Mesa, California.

Eric is a former Marine and amputee Ironman. He in-spires by sharing his journey of competing in Ironman

Triathlons on a prosthetic leg. Running the Ironman World Championships in 2013 was part of an extraor-

dinary experience in Eric’s life that he loves to share. As a Marine deployed to Afghanistan Eric stepped on an Improvised Explosive Device, changing the course

of his life. The damage from the explosion was an am-putation to his leg.

Eric set a goal to run an Ironman triathlon (2.4 mi swim, 112 mi bike, 26.2 mi run). He entertains and

teaches through his journey focused on his faith, atti-tude, goals, perspective and priorities. Eric has inspired

people of all ages across the nation. He looks forward to inspiring and motivating his audience to face and overcome life’s challenges.

His presentation style and personality are invit-ing. His stories are emotional, powerful and entertain-

ing. The 104th Workforce Development Conference attendees will discover techniques to look at challenges through a different lens and develop goal setting strate-

gies to overcome life’s obstacles.

“Game Changer”

By: Rob Claudio

When you watch a competitive game either in person or via television, there is a lot of

excitement associated with the unknown outcome once the clock

runs out. We all like to root for our favorite players or teams and our loyalty to them is sometimes

based upon a formula that is hard to explain. Why I became a

supporter of a team for instance, was based upon my inner circle of

friends and family who also cheered them on with passionate accord, without a lot

of explanation as to why. From a very young age, I can just

remember that if you did not support a particular team, then

you were not part of the family or group of friends. Our loyalty

was challenged from a very young age and it instilled in us this sense of pride if they won or

we felt disheartened when they lost. I love the fact that in every

type of sporting event, there is also a moment that can completely

change the momentum of the game and can cause what would have been a potential loss, to become a

winning result in the end. The sportscasters of the world will

replay that moment over and over again, while they spend a good

amount of time discussing that pivotal instance that was deemed as the game changer. In life, we

too have moments that change our momentum and sometimes they

can have both positive and negative effects that come with them. How

we deal with those instances is what defines us as we learn

through our circumstance that we are capable of rising above a challenge, in order to grow from it

and also be able to help others overcome a similar situation. It is

important for us to remember that a potential setback changing

moment can enable us to reach for

even higher lengths and we can all remember a period of time where

we thought we would never be able to get past it, yet we all have. Our

game changing moments are like

large dots on a map, which can show us where we were and also

provide a history of the road we have traveled. As we get older,

looking back at the amount and the

sizes of those large dots makes one realize how privileged we are in the

many years that we have been alive t o b e a b l e t o r e t r a c e

t h e m . S o m e t i m e s j u s t r e me mb e r i ng a p a r t i c u l a r

challenging time, can cause us to wonder out loud how we survived that period. The next time you

look at the highlights of game that was played, think about the

highlights in your own life. Many

of us fail to give ourselves credit for the things that we have achieved

and what I find in my older seasoned years of living, is that I would like to think that my mom

and grandmother who were the largest influences in my life would

be proud of how I turned out. As a direct byproduct of what they

helped nurture during their lives, I

am forever grateful for all that they did for me. As most of us were

cared for and led by instrumental parents, mentors or teachers in our

lives, we owe all of our success to those that came before us. For it

is because of those pivotal people that lit the way when we faced darkness in our

journey, that we were able to arrive at the place where we

needed to be. It is my hope that you can recall many great game

changing moments that caused you to do better and be better as a result. Remember that the

game is not over until the clock stops and until that occurs, you

still have the possibility of making a great play that will forever define

you as a human being. After all, it is the memories of those highlight

reels which will be left behind as part of your legacy, long after the lights have been turned off.
