Events
School of Management Quarterly Speaker Series
On a quarterly basis George Fox University’s School of Management hosts an event that opens a dialogue regarding pressing issues and solutions of our day. These events are open to the community and are supported by the university’s alumni and friends. At each event, we honor an outstanding leader from business to serve as a distinguished speaker on topics of pressing concern. Thus far, we have hosted topics on organizational change, servant leadership, process improvement, and the power of human resources. All topics are focused broadly on management concerns, but with a Christian worldview perspective.
We hope you will join us for our next event. There is no registration cost, and a light breakfast will be provided (donations accepted to offset the cost of breakfast). Please R.S.V.P. if you plan to attend. All School of Management Speaker Series events are held from 7 to 9 a.m. at George Fox University’s Portland Center in Tigard, Ore. Directions available online.

Description
Life is a negotiation. Your job, your lifestyle, those resources just allocated to your project, funding a new venture, or simply deciding on recreational amenities – a core competency of success is negotiation. Regardless of vocational field and daily practice, it is important to understand the structure, strategy, tactics, techniques, and tools to effectively negotiate.
This series’ lecturer will address pertinent aspects of negotiation and dispel the notion that negotiations have a ‘win-lose’ outcome. Effective negotiators know that long term success is measured by ‘win-win’ outcomes. Grounded in communication, ‘win-win’ outcomes occur when negotiations bridge the gap of false information and miscommunication – skills especially needed by managers and leaders of complex organizations today.
Join us for this speaker series. You will learn about negotiating and in so doing improve your personal communication in positive way that fosters ‘win-win’ outcomes in all aspects of your life.
The George Fox University School of Management and the alumni association welcome local and international business leaders to share their experiences and insights of the complex application of management in our world today. If you would like to be considered or would like to nominate someone as a speaker, please contact us.
