Effective assertive skills manifest themselves in better negotiating tactics, stronger leadership, better team performance, and higher levels of employee engagement. For many women, negotiating can be challenging because we tend to be people pleasers and often put the needs of the group before our own needs. Effective negotiating is not about winning it s about ensuring that both parties arrive at a place of mutual benefit. And being assertive is not at odds with teamwork in fact, it is constructive for your team and your organization. Assertiveness is a management and performance quality that is highly charismatic and appealing. In this session, you will learn: What assertiveness is and what it s not How to develop an assertive style in a manner that appeals, not repels How to communicate, empower, and lead in predominantly male industries or teams Effective negotiating strategies that yield best outcomes for all business partners and associates 10:30 a.m. Coffee Break Sponsored by the Law Office of Wendy Geurin Smith, Memphis, TN 10:45 a.m. Effective Networking What It Is and What It Isn t Diane Darling, Founder, Effective Networking, Boston, MA Do you cringe when you hear the word networking? You know you need to do it, but would you rather go to the dentist? You know it s the best way to get clients, recruit top talent, and be known in your community but you still don t want to do it. In this interactive session, author Diane Darling will share her insights on why we don t like to network and how to reframe it. You ll walk away knowing: How to network even if you re an introvert Tools and apps that can help you be productive How to read body language Top mistakes people make Best practices on LinkedIn How to follow up and stay in touch (without stalking) Noon Lunch Sponsored by Butler Snow LLP, Nashville, TN

4 1:00 p.m. Gain Competitive Advantage by Placing Women in Leadership Positions Moderator: Elizabeth W. Sims, Attorney, Butler Snow LLP, Nashville, TN Panelists: Laura Blackburn, Senior Vice President/Chief Credit Officer, Volunteer State Bank, Portland, TN; Tyler Clinch, President & CEO, First Community Bank of East Tennessee, Kingsport, TN; Scott Cocanougher, CEO, First Community Bank of Tennessee, Shelbyville, TN; and Judy Long, President & COO, First Citizens National Bank, Dyersburg, TN Studies show that men and women working together in business leadership produce better results than businesses with only men in leadership roles. The Catalyst Report links performance and gender balance in Fortune 500 companies with a significantly higher performance advantage: 83 percent better return on equity and 112 percent better return on invested capital. Clearly, it is in the best interest of financial institutions to foster professional growth of both men and women in bank leadership roles. Studies also show that men and women work and think differently. Financial institutions that take advantage of choosing the best talent, regardless of gender, avail themselves of the best brains and talent available to make smart, profitable decisions. If your financial institution is seeking a competitive advantage, you will want to attend this session to learn how executives on the panel foster the advancement of women in their organizations. 2:00 p.m. Coffee Break Sponsored by Watkins Uiberall, PLLC, Memphis, TN 2:15 p.m. Community Impact: Loving the World a Person at a Time The Rev.
