September 2012 | Page 4 Served as TEMPO President: 1977-1978

TEMPO: What prompted your interest and decision to get involved with TEMPO?

MV: I joined TEMPO in 1975 or 1976. I had just been promoted to manager at Arthur Anderson & Co. I was invited by TEMPO’s founders to join the group and I was FLATTERED to be asked. There were very few women in Milwaukee who had reached mid– to upper-level management positions at that time. It was lonely and I welcomed the support and camaraderie I found at TEMPO.

TEMPO: What did you find the most challenging issue during your tenure?

MV: It’s hard to believe that I was President almost 30 years ago. We were very concerned about attendance at Thursday lunches and we were asking ourselves whether there should be a merger of the Professional Dimensions and TEMPO groups.

TEMPO: How have you seen TEMPO evolve since your Presidency?

MV: TEMPO has broadened its offerings to its members tremendously. In the early years, TEMPO had two lunch meetings per month, a Board of Directors, a program committee and a membership committee. Today, we have the mentoring committee, the mentor lunch and a mentor selection process, a variety of special interest groups and so on to give our members a number of ways to connect with each other. TEMPO offers a very rich environment to its members.

Served as TEMPO President: 2011-2012

TEMPO: What prompted your interest and decision to get involved with TEMPO?

AR: One of my mentors had suggested I get involved. She wanted to help me get more connected in the community. I found that it wasn’t about getting connected in the end. Rather, I found that I had a passion for the organization, the people, and love to have the opportunity to really get involved in something with a strong purpose outside of work.

TEMPO: How have you seen TEMPO evolve since your Presidency?

AR: The next President had a great vision and really challenged the status quo.

TEMPO: What do you see as TEMPO’s biggest opportunity moving forward?

AR: Collaboration with other organizations to further the organizational mission

8 Tips to Getting the Right Mentor— taken from http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/222694#

1. Determine your needs.—Mentoring needs shift as you grow. Lay out what skills and support you need. 2. Take time to network.—Find someone from whom you can benefit, someone who knows the market 3. Listen more, talk less.—Pay attention and listen. 4. Be “mentorable.” - Be willing to consider ideas that may not match your expectations or opinions. 5. Remain flexible.— Whether your mentor is in for the long or short haul, you can benefit from their insight. 6. Don’t overlook nontraditional mentors.— Some mentors may help you without their knowledge. Appreciate their contributions to your development. 7. Thank your mentors.—When people help you, intentionally or not, let them know. 8. Pay it forward.—Recognize what your mentor has done for you by becoming a mentor to others.

Using principles from the book and website, “Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery” by Garr Reynolds, Jude Rathburn, Ph.D. will demonstrate how we can all be better communicators and public speakers in any arena. Learn how to break away from conventional slide presentations and get your message across clearly and with impact. Draw connections between the way you communicate visually and the powerful tenets of Zen simplicity and wisdom. The first 100 attendees registering by September 10 will receive a copy of the book by registering for the program.

Here’s a quick summary bulleted list of the six principles from the chapter Made to Stick to keep in mind when crystallizing ideas and crafting messages for speeches, presentations, or any other form of communication.

 Simplicity. If everything is important, then nothing is important. If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority.

 Unexpectedness. You can get people’s interest by violating their expectations. Surprise people. Surprise will get their interest. But to sustain their interest, you have to stimulate their curiosity.

 Concreteness. Use natural speech and give real examples with real things, not abstractions. Speak of concrete images, not of vague notions.

 Credibility. If you are famous in your field, you may have built-in credibility (but even that does not go as far as it used to). Most of us, however, do not have that kind of credibility, so we reach for numbers and cold hard data to support our claims as market leaders and so on. Statistics, say the Heath brothers, are not inherently helpful. What’s important is the context and the meaning.

 Emotions. People are emotional beings. It is not enough to take people through a laundry list of talking points and information on your slides—you must make them feel something.

 Stories. We tell stories all day long. It’s how humans have always communicated. We tell stories with our words and even with our art and music. We express ourselves through the stories we share. Date: Friday, September 28, 2012 We teach, we learn, and we grow through stories. Time: 7:30 a.m.—9:30 a.m. (registration opens at 7:30 a.m.) Where: Italian Conference Center Fee: $40 for all attendees (cost includes a copy of the book) Register: www.tempomilwaukee.org
