The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) believes in the transformational power of work. Our mission is to provide immediate, effective, and comprehensive employment services to individuals with criminal convictions who have recently returned home following incarceration.
We regularly welcome nonprofit/education attendees at So Now You’re a Manager events. We believe these attendees bring much-needed perspective to the room and the group benefits from hearing about the important work they’re doing.

“We have so much more to contribute than we often dare to acknowledge.”
This is a perfect Q4 event for the newly-promoted or those who want to use their professional development dollars before they’re lost to 2019! We’re excited to move this Bay Area event back across the bridge.

Senior Managers are busy people… but it doesn’t mean they don’t care. The higher you get on the org chart, the more slammed you may be with meetings and responsibilities. These cards are designed to take the cognitive coaching load off everyone’s minds so you can have a fruitful 1:1 together as leaders.
“Getting better at managing has caused me to also get better at empathy. While my target is to get the best performance out of my team, I can’t do that unless I can get a good understanding of why they are distracted, and that’s often from things outside of the office.”
“Good feedback is focused feedback, and it’s ok if no one sees all the edits you discarded to get there.”
This is a perfect fall event for the newly-promoted or those who want to use their professional development dollars before they’re lost to 2019! We’re excited to bring SNYAM a new city… one that’s accessible to the whole country! Direct flights from over 50 cities around the world.
“When contemplating your team, think potluck over melting pot. While working toward the same business/project goal, the team should be made up of individuals with varying strengths and perspectives.”
