SWE Boston April 2016 Professional Development Event
10 Strategies to Motivate and Engage your Team for Results
Sponsored by EMC Corporation
Presented by Kemi Sorinmade, Owner of the Growth Studio
Date: April 27, 2016
RSVP by April 20, 2016 at https://aprilpdmeetingatemc.eventbrite.com
Event Overview
As technical professionals, our success and effectiveness is usually limited by our inability to work well with others and influence others. In our different roles, our success depends on working with others, leading a team successfully or working on cross functional teams. The traditional, autocratic methods of leading do not work. In this workshop we will discuss 10 practical steps to motivate and engage others: followers, team mates and internal customers for results. Implementing these strategies will enable you to lead your team from a place of respect and influence and not manipulation, force or position. As a result you will be able to successfully complete projects, grow your company culture, and impact results.

EMC ranks 139 in the Fortune 500 and had reported revenues of $21.7 billion in 2012, the largest revenue year in EMC's 34-year history. We work with organizations around the world, in every industry, in the public and private sectors, and of every size, from startups to the Fortune Global 500.

EMC values an inclusive work environment where every employee is encouraged to share their ideas and talents so we can leverage our diversity. Promoting and leveraging diversity at a grass-roots level, EMC has a number of employee circles-groups organized and run by employees themselves. Supported and funded by our leadership team, these affinity groups provide employees the opportunity to participate and self-lead by arranging social, educational, and philanthropic programs for their colleagues. Additionally, the circles allow employees to share their personal experiences and collective talents, while offering the benefits of career development, retention, and productivity improvement. EMC's Women's Leadership Forum (WLF) employee circle was created more than 11 years ago and now has thousands of members worldwide.
In April 2009, EMC published a book called The Working Mother Experience which contains nearly 100 real stories, written by EMC women (and one man) from around the world, that provide candid perspectives on being working mothers in a fast-paced business environment. If you're interested, you can read the book online or order a copy from our website (http://www.emc.com/collateral/about/jobs/pdf/h4470-working-mother-bk2.pdf).
