This year’s PDS is jammed packed with three – YES THREE – general session speakers! Morag Barrett, Meagan Dorsch, and David Landis will each be providing information about topics that can assist your work in the legislature.
Morag is the CEO and founder of the Executive and Leadership development firm, Skye Associates, based in Colorado. I heard her speak about conflict resolution during a leadership training and was amazed by her ability to listen, breakdown scenarios and provide helpful solutions to large problems. In Branson, she will speak about “Cultivating Winning Relationships” and provide guidance on how to address adversarial and ally relationships.
Meagan is the Public Affairs and Social Media Manager at NCSL. For those that have seen Meagan speak, you know she’s a dynamic and energetic speaker with lots of information to share. Meagan will be talking the basic principles of social media and providing some guidance on how to use these tools in the legislature.
David is a former State Senator from Nebraska and understands the value that legislative staff provide to members and the institution. David will be speaking about the “Art of Negotiating,” a useful skill that everyone needs. Want to hear David’s speaking style before you get to Branson? Here’s a speech he gave at the “Salute to Legislative Staff” session in Louisville, Kentucky in 2010.
