ACRGNY ROUNDTABLE BREAKFAST: THE POWER OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT
August’s ACRGNY Roundtable Breakfast speaker will be Judy Umlas, author of The Power of Acknowledgment (”a slim book with a powerful message,” says one reviewer!). Judy is
the Executive Director of Learning Innovations at International Institute for Learning, Inc. (IIL), and Director/Secretary of Small Companies United for Global Disaster Relief, Inc., a not-for-profit organization. She was also the publisher of a global Web portal for 33,000 project managers in 90 countries for four years. and has worked in television production, marketing and corporate business development for 30 years at CBS, PBS cable television and IIL.
In The Power of Acknowledgement, Umlas describes, through a wealth of her own personal experiences, the importance of acknowledgment, and how it makes such a difference in one’s life. In fact, she refers to acknowledgement as a `flick of the switch’ to show that it is so easy to do, and at times only takes a moment or two, although it is so often overlooked.
