Keynote Speaker - Diane M Weber

Keynote - Appreciating Differences

One of the greatest joys of working in school nutrition is the people we work with, the people we work for, and the school community we serve. At the same time, perhaps the greatest challenge of working in school nutrition is the people we work with, the people we work for, and the school community we serve.

The problem most work teams face is not that people can’t do their jobs. More common is that people don’t get along with each other – resulting in tension, disappointment and diminished productivity.

We’ll begin by reviewing definitions of personality and behavior, and then focus our time on understanding observable behavior. You’ll have the opportunity to assess and identify your own patterns of behavior while learning to recognize patterns of behavior in others who operate differently than you do. We’ll work with a case study, so arrive with someone in mind that you find especially challenging to work with! By the end of our session, I anticipate that you will look at this case study (individual) in a different light: not
difficult so much as different.

BREAKOUT SESSION – Enriching Relationships

Working with the principles of Understanding Behavior from the keynote session, we’ll take your case study to a different level by learning and practicing the most effective methods for communication and conflict resolution. You’ll learn how to communicate so others can listen, and how to turn tension into productive dialogue that will strengthen any relationship.

Biography - Education and Work History

Upon graduating from Washington State University with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Administration, I managed contract food service operations for SAGA and Marriott at locations including aircraft production facilities, bank and insurance headquarters, and government agencies. These assignments provided me an understanding of the essence of management - what it takes to deliver results through others.

After investing eight years in operations management, I spent seven years as a Human Resources professional, including: Vice President of Human Resources for Marriott School Services and Human Resources Director for ARAMARK Business Dining. I enjoyed two years with Restaurants Unlimited as the Human Resources Director for their expanding CINNABON Bakery chain. These assignments allowed me to gain skill in understanding and implementing practices that develop a workforce to accomplish organizational goals.

In 1990, I completed a Master's Degree in Management with an emphasis on Organization Development. This served as my springboard to launch into the work that I love; enabling others to advantage themselves and the organizations they serve.

Professional Philosophy

I believe in life long learning; personal development is a process, not an event. I believe workplace learning is most effective when individuals apply principles and skills to situations, tasks or events in their lives. I believe learning should be fun as well as enriching; one of the greatest joys in my work comes when participants and I laugh and learn together. At the end of the day, my goal is to have each individual in attendance walk away feeling more confident, more competent and encouraged to apply new skills to advantage themselves, their work team and their organization.

 


Plan now to join in on the Fun...

With tight budgets and your time at a premium, there’s no doubt you may be feeling the pinch, but don’t let hard times stop you from moving ahead. Turn today’s challenges into BIG opportunities at SNA’s 2010 Annual National Conference (ANC), where you will connect face to face with thousands of operators from districts across the nation.
