Power Against Fraud: Fighting Back Against Identity Theft

Cary Johnson, Jefferson/Gilpin County DA’s Office

3:00 – 5:00 CopperTop 3

10 million Americans become victims of identity theft each year. In the next decade, 1 of every 2 Americans will fall prey to this crime. The average victim spends 5-7 years, according to the Federal Trade Commission, clearing up the mess once they have become a victim. Once ID thieves can nab a purse, wallet, check, credit card, or Social Security number, they’re on the move ruining lives.

The ‘good news’ is that crime prevention information and prevention steps can reduce one’s susceptibility to these crimes. You will leave with steps to place insulation between yourself and the schemes of these fraudsters.

Leslye C. Steptoe, PhD is the Vice President of Diversity & Inclusiveness at Mental Health Center of Denver.

She received her B.A. in Sociology from the University of Alaska Anchorage, M.A. in Sociology from Southern Illinois University, and PhD in Educational Foundations, Policy & Practice from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Exploring Enneagram…at Work- Part 1

Katie Stefanski, Jefferson County Mental Health

10:45 – 12:00CopperTop 3

Many of us are familiar with different personality surveys: What color are you? What Myers-Briggs letters are you? What animal represents you? Most of these systems of explaining personality put us into boxes and encourage us to stay there. The Enneagram personality system instead, has us understand our personality characteristics to be able to get out of the box of our old habits and into freer ways of being. Each of the nine personality types within the Enneagram has forgotten one basic truth on how the world works. As a result of this early wound, we then create a personality (or cast, if you will) that protects us from that wounding. The problem is that if we break an arm and keep a cast on for our entire lives, the arm loses its usefulness as the muscles around it atrophy and die. Through studying the Enneagram, we are able to identify what personality structures are our equivalent casts and explore ways to gain freedom and strength back in our lives.

Such exploration can certainly benefit us in our personal lives; how we can apply the Enneagram to our work relationships will be the focus of the second portion of our training. By knowing how others view the world (according to their personality structures and needs), we can learn how to more effectively communicate and work together. We will be able to reduce our judgment and increase our compassion for ourselves and others. In this process, we may be able to help promote freedom in others as well.

Change Management: Building Resiliency

Krista Rahe, Mountain States Employers Council

8:30-12:30Peaks 6, 7, & 8

The only thing constant is change. It seems that has become the mantra of the 21st century workplace. How well you adapt is often what differentiates success from failure. Change Management: Building Resiliency will support you in understanding the process of change and transition in order to successfully manage change in our fast-paced world. We live in a world of turmoil and without change management skills we often see the environment from a passive stance—waiting to be told what to do, how to feel, and how to behave. Learning the nuances of transitioning yourself and others is a key skill for individual contributors and leaders in your organization.
