I am glad you are here.\r\n\r\nIf you relate to one of the following, keep reading:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are an aspiring senior executive and not sure what leadership skills you need or what path to take to get there.</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of fighting an uphill battle to advance and frustrated with the lack of opportunity.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security manager who feels isolated and desires to build better working relationships.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security professional who wants to increase confidence, differentiate herself and demonstrate her value.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a woman in security who is torn between having a great career and a great family.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security executive or owner of a company who needs to increase the team’s performance, engagement and results (and who wants to have an easier time leading it)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf any of these statements resonate with you, you are in the right place. CSO Leadership Training can help you to regain an edge, so you can enjoy more success in your career and personal life. I know because I have been there. I know what it takes to achieve success. So let me show you how.\r\n \r\nBefore becoming a leadership trainer, I worked (and still do) in the security industry for a decade, performing roles in security operations, crisis management, and training. I was drawn to the field because of a desire to serve. I started my career in the public sector with a desire to serve my country and took this commitment to the corporate world to ensure the safety of staff. I enjoyed the experience of using my execution talents to deliver security services effectively and efficiently, though I often felt left out of \"the club\" as a senior woman on the team.\r\n \r\nI had been an connoisseur of training programs and an avid reader of books on leadership development. As the years progressed, I applied what I learned, and my skills reached new heights. At some point, however, I plateaued and tried every way I could think of to move up. Frustrated and burned out, I needed to do something drastic to find a new edge. It was not until I signed up for a presentation skills continuing education course in 2007 that my career path turned in a new direction to the nonprofit sector through a one-year fellowship leader development program. Shocked by the change in working environment, I was challenged and stretched. During the fellowship, I had the opportunity to develop a creativity and confidence-building leadership program for underprivileged children in Ghana. It was here that I discovered what a tremendous impact leadership and communication skills can have on children\'s confidence and their hope for a better future. Through this experience, I found my higher purpose--to pursue equality through teaching leadership skills.\r\n \r\nRefocused and rejuvenated, I returned to corporate security in search of new ways to channel my purpose, and it did not take very long to find it with the launch of an industry women\'s group. I listened, made connections, and shared challenges. The result is CSO Leadership Training, leadership learning programs exclusively for you.\r\n \r\nWhat will you get from CSO Leadership Training (as opposed to other programs)? Leadership skills to be a successful leader in the industry and a clear plan of action of how to get there without sacrificing who you are a woman, your personal life, or your authenticity. It is delivered completely to you on your terms. It does not require you to shell out thousands of dollars, incur expensive travel costs or take you away from your personal responsibilities.  And, I have a 100 percent money-back guarantee.\r\n \r\nHave questions? Let\'s talk. Email me at <a title=\"blocked::mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\" href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\" target=\"_blank\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a>.\r\n \r\nI look forward to connecting with you.','Welcome','','publish','open','open','','welcome','','','2011-10-18 14:16:19','2011-10-18 14:16:19','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?page_id=318',0,'page','',0),(298,1,'2011-06-08 19:18:27','2011-06-08 19:18:27','The content you\'re trying to view is for members only.

Use them proportionately.\"  --Unknown\r\n\r\nIt is pretty blunt, but so important.  When we are trying to advance and gain visibility, we focus on promoting our view first and speaking first to not miss an opportunity to make our stand known.  Speaking up is definitely a critical part of gaining visibility, but listening can be even more powerful, especially in one-on-one conversations. \r\n\r\nMost of our education from childhood to adulthood is about speaking.  Think about it. As a child, you learn to speak to communicate.  As you enter elementary school, we learn to write and then, how to craft sentences to communicate what we want to say.  In college and in professional training forums, we learn how to speak publicly and how to engage andience.  All of this focus is on speaking , but very little education is actually devoted to listening, yet it is absolutely necessary to build rapport and forge relationships with individuals in our adulthood.\r\n\r\nSo here is a little education on listening.  There are three types of listening:  1)  Subjective 2) Objective 3) Empathetic, which is the best.  Subjective listening is listening with our own filter--our default assumption that our perspective is how the world really is and is the same for everyone else.   Subjective listening is usually at least partly responsible for conflicts and yet, it is so natural because it is informed by our own individual experiences, culture, childhood, etc.  Unless we ask and listen to others\' perspective, we are unaware of the subjectivity of our perception. \r\n\r\nObjective listening is listening to the words of others and nothing else.  In this form, we take the others\' words at face value, and we all know that what people say is not necessary what they mean. \r\n\r\nEmpathetic listening is using our ears to hear one\'s words, observing nonverbal cues, and using our intution.  It is the type we use to hone our relational skills, really understand another\'s perspective and get to the bottom of miscommunication, conflicts or disagreements. \r\n\r\nEmpathetic listening is the first element of a tool I teach call LACOV, which is the word \"vocal\" spelled backwards.  I like it because it represents the opposite of what our natural default response is ,which is to speak first, then listen when listening first and speaking second is so much more effective. \r\n\r\nAction step:  Commit to listening first and speaking second for one day, and at the end of the day, assess if your conversations were more productive.  In most cases, I have found this to be true.\r\n\r\nShare your feedback with me by leaving a comment or shoot me an email.\r\n\r\nI look forward to hearing from you.','Lead by Listening','','publish','open','open','','lead-by-listening','','','2011-07-26 02:32:23','2011-07-26 02:32:23','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?p=341',0,'post','',0),(315,2,'2011-05-26 00:14:26','2011-05-26 00:14:26','Natalie Runyon specializes in leadership development, communication skills, and career advancement for women leaders in security.  Her background in corporate security working in a variety of different capacities, such as security operations, people development, and management &amp; administration, have given her an intimate understanding of the unique leadership challenges women face in a male-dominated industry.<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-179 alignright\" src=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Park_lamppost-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nShe understands what senior women in the industry face — particularly the balancing act between long-term goals and day-to-day priorities in a competitive, complex, and dynamic operating environment.  Can a female CSO invest the time in creating autonomous, forward-thinking employees and still deliver on immediate goals while thriving in life outside of work.  The answer is unequivocally yes.  Natalie lives it and enables managers to strike that balance every day.  She helps senior decision-makers to flex their strengths, and using simple techniques, to increase their confidence and refine behaviors to maximize effectiveness.  Clients see a major payoff in performance.\r\n\r\nNatalie utilizes her leadership and communications expertise as an adjunct instructor at the <a href=\"http://www.scps.nyu.edu/faculty/all/r/5/13264/natalie-runyon\">New York University School of Continued &amp; Professional Studies</a> and as a trainer to ASIS Women in Security and Women in International Security.\r\n\r\nNatalie is an emerging thought leader in diversity and inclusion in the security industry.  Her commitment to the advancement of diverse individuals and groups through leadership development and her experience as a female security professional uniquely make her well qualified for this role.\r\n\r\nShe earned her M.B.A from The George Washington University and her B.S. in International Trade &amp; Finance from Louisiana State University.

CSO Leadership Training can help you to regain an edge, so you can enjoy more  success in your career and personal life.  I know because I have been there.  I  know what it takes to achieve success. So let me show you how.</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>Before becoming a leadership trainer, I worked (and still do) in the  security industry for a decade, performing roles in security operations, crisis  management, and training. I was drawn to the field because of a desire to  serve.  I started my career in the public sector with a desire to serve my  country and took this commitment to the corporate world to ensure the safety of  staff.  I enjoyed the experience of using my execution talents to deliver  security services effectively and efficiently, though I often felt left out of  \"the club\" as a senior woman on the team.</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>I had been an connoisseur of training programs and an avid reader of books  on leadership development.  As the years progressed, I applied what I learned,  and my skills reached new heights. At some point, however, I plateaued and tried  every way I could think of to move up.  Frustrated and burned out, I needed to  do something drastic to find a new edge. It was not until I signed up for a  presentation skills continuing education course in 2007 that my career path  turned in a new direction to the nonprofit sector through a one-year fellowship  leader development program.

So what do we do to overcome it? \r\n\r\nDuring a recent conversation with a well known security recruiter, she discussed the need for women in security to agitate to advance to the senior levels in the industry.  So, how do we agitate without being known as the \"angry woman\" or being perceived as \"too aggressive,\" which are common pitfalls as the result of challenging the status quo?  Here are three tips:\r\n\r\n1. Agitate through one one one conversations with key decison-makers and influencers.  Set up a meeting with the key decision-maker to better understand his thinking behind the decision.  You can kick off the meeting by stating this as the goal and asking him to, \"Tell me more about how you arrived at that conclusion.\"  As he is responding, just listen.  Limit the inner dialoge and don\'t try to find holes in the logic.  Just listen.  And then thank him for sharing his thinking.  Clarify any part that is not clear with open questions, which result in a narrative answer, and then paraphrase what you think you heard to let him know that you were listening.  An easy way to start paraphrasing is, \"It sounds like you see...\"  This is an opening to share your perspective and your different approach.  Finally, close out the conversation by validating his view by saying something like, \"I can see how you chose to go a different route than my approach.  I appreciate the time you took to explain your it.\"\r\n\r\n2. Agitate through questions.  During a team meeting, it may be appropriate to share your position in a group and a good way to do this is through asking a question.  You can start out by saying, \"What is your thinking at choosing this approach?  I thought of a different way to this challenge.  I would like to share it [and present your idea].\" \r\n\r\n3. Agitate through direct well-structured communication.  Sometimes, there is not enough time to set up individual conversations and to converse in a team setting due to the urgency.  If the previous two tips are not options, then register your preference of a different approach with the key decision-maker or team with direct, straightforward communication with good structure.  You can use the format 1.  State your position. 2. Display 3 reasons/evidence for your position. 3. Close by re summarizing your position in different words or suggest a next step to reconcile the differing views. 4. Say thank you for listening. You can kick off by saying, \"I have to jump in here and share my suggestion for a different approach [and share it].  Here is my thinking behind it:  one,...two,....finally,...As a next step, I would like to suggest...or (as a reminder, we should go in this direction...).  Thank you for listening.\"\r\n\r\nOne last point, being valued requires honing persuasive communiation skills and influencing outcomes, and it does not happen in one conversation or in one meeting.  It happens over time.  If you try  these tactics, and it creates an awkward moment, don\'t let it discourage you from trying it again.  It may take 4 to 6 times for others to listen to you and for you to get comfortable with it.  \r\n\r\nLet me know how it works for you.  If you want to role play, email me at <a href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a> to set up a time to talk. \r\n\r\nI look forward to hearing from you.','How to be Valued:  Lead by Agitation','','publish','open','open','','valued-lead-by-agitation','','','2011-07-30 23:28:38','2011-07-30 23:28:38','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?p=346',0,'post','',0),(347,2,'2011-07-22 15:41:39','2011-07-22 15:41:39','','Auto Draft','','inherit','open','open','','346-revision','','','2011-07-22 15:41:39','2011-07-22 15:41:39','',346,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/346-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(348,2,'2011-07-22 15:43:57','2011-07-22 15:43:57','A senior security leader asked during a presentation to women, \"Do you want to be liked or do you want to be valued?\"  Now, we know very well that females are naturally dispositiioned and socialized to be more accommodating and have a strong desire to be liked.  As part of our DNA, it is a challenge for us to oppose the natural desire to be liked.

increasing awareness of this conflict will enable you to change the situation or accept the conflict temporarily. \r\n\r\nNext, you want to identify your top 3 strengths/talents.  Doing so allows you to consciously acknowledge how you are unique and provides the foundation for owning your greatness and performance. \r\n\r\nAfter this, you want to create a mission statement .  I like to call it a Leadership Mission; it integrats your values, professional goal(s), strengths/talents, and the impact you would like to have on the community.  It also serves as a compass to help you determine whether or not a potential career opportunity is the right next step for you on your way to attaining your ideal goal.   See mine below. \r\n\r\nMy leadership mission as a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">leadership trainer</span> [my ideal position] is to use my adaptable arranger, maximizer, and connector talents [my top 3 strengths] in order to increase confidence and performance of women in the security industry, to enhance protection of the populations we serve [community impact] and to enjoy autonomy, service and greater diversity[values] for a more equitable world.   \r\n\r\nThe value of the leadership mission is that it is one statement that represents who you are.  Because your talents are a key component, it enables you to start from a positive mindset and confidence.  I have found it particularly useful when I am nervous, anxious, or doubting myself, and I read it to reorient my mindset to remember why I do what I do.\r\n\r\nThe <a title=\"CSO Leader Launch program\" href=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/training-products/\">CSO Leader Launch</a> program includes tools to bring alignment to your values, career, personal time, and desired community impact.  Check out <a title=\"CSO Client Feedback\" href=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/testimonials/\">the feedback </a>from using these tools.\r\n\r\nHave questions or thoughts?  Let\'s talk.  Leave a comment below or email me at <a href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a> to set up a time.\r\n\r\nLooking forward to connecting.','Leadership Starts with Confidence','','publish','open','open','','leadership-starts-with-confidence','','','2011-08-04 16:39:24','2011-08-04 16:39:24','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?p=360',0,'post','',1),(351,2,'2011-07-26 01:27:01','2011-07-26 01:27:01','I was on a webinar about the importance of volunteer leadership hosted by <a href=\"http://www.asisonline.org/membership/womenInSecurity.xml\">ASIS Women in Security</a> last week and was reminded of one of my favorite quotes:\n\n\"You have two ears and one mouth.

So what do we do to overcome it? \n\nDuring a recent conversation with a well-known security recruiter, she discussed the need for women in security to agitate to advance to the senior levels in the industry.  So, how do we agitate without being known as the \"angry woman\" or being perceived as \"too aggressive,\" which are common downfalls as the result of creating waves and challenging the status quo?  Here are three tips:\n\n1. Agitate through one one one conversations with key decison-makers and influencers.  Set up a meeting with the key decision-maker to better understand his thinking behind the decision.  You can kick off the meeting by stating this as the goal and asking him to, \"Tell me more about how you arrived at that conclusion.\"  As he is responding, just listen.  Limit the inner dialoge and don\'t try to find holes in the logic.  Just listen.  And then thank him for sharing his thinking.  Clarify any part that is not clear with open questions, which result in a narrative answer, and then paraphrase what you think you heard to let him know that you were listening.  An easy way to start paraphrasing is, \"It sounds like you see...\"  This is an opening to share your perspective and your different approach.  Finally, close out the conversation by validating his view by saying something like, \"I can see how you chose to go a different route than my approach.  I appreciate the time you took to explain your it.\"\n\n2. Agitate through questions.  During a team meeting, it may be appropriate to share your position in a group and a good way to do this is through asking a question.  You can start out by saying, \"What is your thinking at choosing this approach?  I thought of a different way to this challenge.  I would like to share it [and present your idea].\" \n\n3. Agitate through direct well-structured communication.  Sometimes, there is not enough time to set up individual conversations and to converse in a team setting due to the urgency.  If the previous two tips are not options, then register your preference of a different approach with the key decision-maker or team with direct, straightforward communication with good structure.  You can use the format 1.  State your position. 2.

Next, you need to determine and be conscious of your values to think about how your values are honored in your professional and personal activities.  You may find that your ideal career goal presents a conflict with one of your values; increasing awareness of this conflict will enable you to change the situation or accept the conflict temporarily.  Next, you need to identify your top 3 strengths/talents.  Doing so allows you to consciously acknowledge how you are unique and provides the foundation for owning your greatness and performance.  After this, you want to create a mission statement for your life.  I like to call it a Leadership Mission; it integrats your values, professional goal(s), strengths/talents, and the greater impact you desire and serves as a compass to help you determine whether or not a potential career opportunity is the right next step for you on your way to attaining your ideal goal.  There are plenty of resources on the web to help ascertain this information. \n\nThe <a title=\"CSO Leader Launch program\" href=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/training-products/\">CSO Leader Launch</a> program includes tools to bring alignment to your values, career, personal time, and desired community impact.  Check out <a title=\"CSO Client Feedback\" href=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/testimonials/\">the feedback </a>from using these tools, if you like.\n\nHave questions or thoughts?  Let\'s talk.  Leave a comment below or email me at <a href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a> to','Leadership Starts with Confidence','','inherit','open','open','','360-revision','','','2011-07-30 17:28:04','2011-07-30 17:28:04','',360,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/360-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(362,2,'2011-07-30 17:01:35','2011-07-30 17:01:35','A senior security leader asked during a presentation to women, \"Do you want to be liked or do you want to be valued?\"  Now, we know very well that females are naturally dispositioned and socialized to be more accommodating and have a strong desire to be liked.  As part of our DNA, it is a challenge for us to oppose these natural tendencies.

Agitate through questions.  During a team meeting, it may be appropriate to share your position in a group and a good way to do this is through asking a question.  You can start out by saying, \"What is your thinking at choosing this approach?  I thought of a different way to this challenge.  I would like to share it [and present your idea].\" \r\n\r\n3. Agitate through direct well-structured communication.  Sometimes, there is not enough time to set up individual conversations and to converse in a team setting due to the urgency.  If the previous two tips are not options, then register your preference of a different approach with the key decision-maker or team with direct, straightforward communication with good structure.  You can use the format 1.  State your position. 2.

Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor.   It was published in the July/August 2010 issue of <em>Harvard Business Review</em>.  The article discusses how he teaches his students to apply these principles to their professional and personal lives:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li><strong>Create a strategy for your life</strong>.  Know your values and spend your time, talents, and energy on what is most important to you.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Allocate your resources</strong>.  Avoid underinvesting in your family and overinvesting in your career.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Create a culture</strong>.  Build a family culture of strong self esteem and confidence by solving problems and learning what works.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Avoid the \"marginal\" costs mistakes</strong>. Eliminate the \"just this once, it\'s ok\" thinking.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Remember the importance of humility</strong>. Know and feel good about who you are and regard others with the same.</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Choose the right yardstick</strong>.  Measure your success by the number of lives you have touched.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nThese six principles really resonated with me because it reminded me of my vision of an ideal leader and why I created CSO Leadership Training.  Indeed, through CSO Leadership Training, I am at my best--my personal version of an ideal leader. Through leadership development, I strive to reframe women\'s self negating habits, such as the voice that says, \"I am not good enough\" or the one that keeps us playing small and avoiding risk-taking.\r\n\r\nThe core piece to combat the inner critic is the CSO leadership mission statement, which states how your values and talents are aligned to your ideal career goal and legacy.  It enables you to live each one of the principles outlined in this article.  It serves as a compass to determine which path is the best to take as opportunities arise.  It provides a foundation of clarity, purpose and strength when the world gets hairy, confusing, and hazy.','Leadership Mission:  Stay Committed, Build Followership (even during volatile times)','','publish','open','open','','leadership-mission-committed-followership','','','2011-08-25 19:23:23','2011-08-25 19:23:23','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?p=413',0,'post','',0),(365,2,'2011-07-30 23:24:46','2011-07-30 23:24:46','A senior security leader asked during a presentation to women, \"Do you want to be liked or do you want to be valued?\"  Now, we know very well that females are naturally dispositioned and socialized to be more accommodating and have a strong desire to be liked.  As part of our DNA, it is a challenge for us to oppose these natural tendencies.

Next, you need to determine and be conscious of your values to think about how your values are honored in your professional and personal activities.  You may find that your ideal career goal presents a conflict with one of your values; increasing awareness of this conflict will enable you to change the situation or accept the conflict temporarily.  Next, you need to identify your top 3 strengths/talents.  Doing so allows you to consciously acknowledge how you are unique and provides the foundation for owning your greatness and performance.  After this, you want to create a mission statement for your life.  I like to call it a Leadership Mission; it integrats your values, professional goal(s), strengths/talents, and the greater impact you desire and serves as a compass to help you determine whether or not a potential career opportunity is the right next step for you on your way to attaining your ideal goal.  There are plenty of resources on the web to help ascertain this information. \r\n\r\nThe <a title=\"CSO Leader Launch program\" href=\"http://csoleadershiptraining.com/training-products/\">CSO Leader Launch</a> program includes tools to bring alignment to your

Someone who is confident will make more sales than one who is less so.  As a leadership trainer for two years now, I have observed that a lack of communicating confidence is one of the key challenges holding women back from advancing in their careers.  It is not that women are not confident in their abilities, it is more about not wanting to appear arrogant or be seen as bragging by senior managers and peers.  In fact, I attended a ASIS Women in Security networking event in NYC last week, and this topic was one of the most dominant in our conversation. \n\nHow do we own our confidence and work performance without feeling like we are being viewed as a narcissist by colleagues?\n\nWell, to start, clarity of goals is absolutely critical.  You need to know what is your end game (a vision for your life in both personal and professional terms). What is your ideal career aspiration?  What is your ideal role, title, or position?\n\nNext, you need to determine and be conscious of your values to think about how your values are honored in your professional and personal activities.  You may find that your ideal career goal presents a conflict with one of your values; increasing awareness of this conflict will enable you to change the situation or accept the conflict temporarily. \n\nNext, you want to identify your top 3 strengths/talents.  Doing so allows you to consciously acknowledge how you are unique and provides the foundation for owning your greatness and performance. \n\nAfter this, you want to create a mission statement .  I like to call it a Leadership Mission; it integrats your values, professional goal(s), strengths/talents, and the impact you would like to have on the community.  It also serves as a compass to help you determine whether or not a potential career opportunity is the right next step for you on your way to attaining your ideal goal.   See mine below. \n\nMy leadership mission as a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">leadership

learned this statistic when I attended an OpEd writing workshop two weeks ago put on by <a href=\"http://www.theopedproject.org/\">The OpEd project</a>, which seeks to increase the number of women voices in the media.  Its strategy is to teach women the insider tips for publishing OpEds as a outlet for women to garner influence and visibility on the international stage.  Indeed, the New York chapter of <a href=\"http://csis.org/program/wiis\">Women in International Security</a> partnered with the OpEd project last year for a training.  I was inspired by The OpEd\'s aggressive goals, and it got me thinking that its strategy could be customized for women\'s advancement in the security industry. \r\n\r\nStatistically speaking, the tipping point for movements to promote change for women is <a href=\"http://www.docstoc.com/docs/69256997/EXCERPT-Women-Lead-The-Wayhttp://\">30-33 percent</a>, which I also learned at the OpEd Project\'s training.  Applying it to women\'s advancement in the security industry, women making up 30-33 percent of top roles in the  industry will produce more opportunities for and reduce barriers to advancement.  In order to make up 30-33 percent of the industry\'s leadership, then we need to achieve two very important milestones (I am sure there are others, but these metrics are specific and achievable to take action on now):\r\n\r\n1) 30-33 percent of women actively participating in the industry outside of their day-to-day roles.\r\n\r\n2) 30-33 percent of women operating in the industry\'s public fora as speakers, professional organization\'s chapter leaders, conference speakers, and authoring content in security publications.\r\n\r\nTo achieve 30-33 percent of women in the to roles, we need to invite our friends to join us at industry events.  In addition, we need women participating confidently in conversations inside and outside of our organizations, speaking up, sharing our view, engaging in dialogue when conflict arises, and discussing our successes and opportunities for development.  CSO Leadership Training offers training modules and flexibile options for achieving  these goals.\r\n\r\nTo accomplish the second milestone, we need women to COMMUNICATE our areas of expertise in industry discussion fora, such as leading sessions at annual conferences, leading webinars, volunteering for leadership roles, and drafting articles to publish in security publications.  There are a whole host of security publications (Security magazine, CSO Online, Security Director, ASIS Dynamics are just a few).  Check out my recent article on security executive development:  <a href=\"http://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/82229-skills-for-a-successful-executive-in-the-business-of-security\">Skills for a Successful Security Executive in the Business of Security</a>. \r\n\r\nWe don\'t have to achieve it all in one year, and we don\'t have to accomplish it individually.  We can do this together in support of one another.  In fact, it is much more fun doing it as a group working toward the same goal. \r\n\r\nSo, can I ask you to consider doing one of the following as a goal for the rest of the year?  Volunteering within the industry in some capacity or submitting an article for publication.  Don\'t know where to get started?  Contact me <a href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a> and let\'s

industry\'s leadership, then we need to achieve two very important milestones (I am sure there are others, but these metrics are specific and achievable to take action on now):\r\n\r\n1) 33 percent of women actively participating in the industry outside of their day-to-day roles\r\n\r\n2) 33 percent of women operating in the industry\'s public fora as speakers, professional organization\'s chapter leaders, conference speakers, and authoring content in security publications.\r\n\r\nTo achieve 30-33 percent of women in the to roles, we need to invite our friends to join us at industry eventsl.  In addition, we need women participating confidently in conversations inside and outside of our organizations, speaking up, sharing their view, engaging in dialogue when conflict arises, discussing our successes and opportunities for development.  CSO Leadership offer training modules and flexibile options for doing this.\r\n\r\nTo accomplish the second milestone, we need women to COMMUNICATE their areas of expertise in industry discussion fora, such as leading sessions at annual conference, leading webinars, volunteering in a leadership role, and drafting articles to publish in security publications.  There are a whole host of security publications (Security magazine, CSO Online, Security Director, ASIS Dynamics are just a few).  Check out my recent article on security executive development:  <a href=\"http://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/82229-skills-for-a-successful-executive-in-the-business-of-security\">Skills for a Successful Security Executive in the Business of Security</a>. \r\n\r\nWe don\'t have to achieve it all in one year, and we don\'t have to accomplish it individually.  We can do this together in support of one another.  In fact, it is much more fun doing it as a group working toward the same goal. \r\n\r\nSo, can I ask you to consider doing one of the following as a goal for the rest of the year?  Volunteering within the industry in some capacity or submitting an article for publication.  Don\'t know where to get started?  Contact me <a href=\"mailto:Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com\">Natalie@CSOLeadershipTraining.com</a> and let\'s brainstorm.  It\'s FREE.  What do you have to lose? Not much, maybe a little time.  What do you have to gain?  Alot!  A tangible action plan to gain credibility, visibility, and confidence.\r\n\r\nI look forward to hearing from you.','Tips to Advance Women Leaders\' Influence in Security ','','inherit','open','open','','391-revision-7','','','2011-08-11 12:43:13','2011-08-11 12:43:13','',391,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/391-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(408,2,'2011-08-08 01:44:57','2011-08-08 01:44:57','<span style=\"font-size: large;\"> </span>\r\n<h2>CSO Leader Launch $297</h2>\r\nPerfect for women who are part of the next generation of leaders in the Security industry.

development learning programs EXCLUSIVELY for you, as a woman in security! I am glad you are here.\r\n\r\nIf you relate to one of the following, keep reading:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are an aspiring senior executive and not sure what leadership skills you need or what path to take to get there.</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of fighting an uphill battle to advance and frustrated with the lack of opportunity.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security manager who feels isolated as the only woman on the team and desires to build better working relationships.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security professional who wants to increase confidence, differentiate herself and demonstrate her value.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a woman in security who is torn between having a great career and a great family.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security executive or owner of a company who needs to increase the team’s performance, engagement and results (and who wants to have an easier time leading it)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nIf any of these statements resonate with you, you are in the right place. CSO Leadership Training can help you to regain an edge, so you can enjoy more success in your career and personal life. I know because I have been there. I know what it takes to achieve success. So let me show you how.\r\n\r\nBefore becoming a leadership trainer, I worked (and still do) in the security industry for a decade, performing roles in security operations, crisis management, and training. I was drawn to the field because of a desire to serve. I started my career in the public sector with a desire to serve my country and took this commitment to the corporate world to ensure the safety of staff. I enjoyed the experience of using my execution talents to deliver security services effectively and efficiently, though I often felt left out of \"the club\" as a senior woman on the team.\r\n\r\nI had been an connoisseur of training programs and an avid reader of books on leadership development. As the years progressed, I applied what I learned, and my skills reached new heights. At some point, however, I plateaued and tried every way I could think of to move up. Frustrated and burned out, I needed to do something drastic to find a new edge. It was not until I signed up for a presentation skills continuing education course in 2007 that my career path turned in a new direction to the nonprofit sector through a one-year fellowship leader development program. Shocked by the change in working environment, I was challenged and stretched. During the fellowship, I had the opportunity to develop a creativity and confidence-building leadership program for underprivileged children in Ghana. It was here that I discovered what a tremendous impact leadership and communication skills can have on children\'s confidence and their hope for a better future. Through this experience, I found my higher purpose--to pursue equality through teaching leadership skills.\r\n\r\nRefocused and rejuvenated, I returned to corporate security in search of new ways to channel my purpose, and it did not take very long to find it with the launch of an industry women\'s group. I listened, made connections, and shared challenges. The result is CSO Leadership Training, leadership learning programs exclusively for you.\r\n\r\nWhat will you get from CSO Leadership Training (as opposed to other programs)? Leadership skills to be a successful leader in the industry and a clear plan of action of how to get there without sacrificing who you are a woman, your personal life, or your authenticity. It is delivered completely to you on your terms. It does not require you to shell out thousands of dollars, incur expensive travel costs or take you away from your personal responsibilities.  And, I have a 100 percent money-back guarantee.\r\n\r\nHave questions?

audiences. \r\n<div><strong>1.  Define your purpose for communication.  </strong>The first thing to do in developing the purpose statement is to determine why you are writing.  An easy way to do this is to determine if you are informing or persuading.  Basically, the purpose of any message can be boiled down to are you trying to tell something or sell something.  So be sure you are clear about this.</div>\r\n<div><strong>2.  Determine What’s In It For Me (WIIFM and aka the audience).  </strong>This step involves thinking about a number of things from the perspective of your audience.  Usually, in any message, there is going to be one primary person for the message, so some considerations to think about are:</div>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>How much time do they have?   So it is best to keep it short.</li>\r\n	<li>What is their attention span? </li>\r\n	<li>What is their level of expertise on the topic? </li>\r\n	<li>How much can they influence the outcome?</li>\r\n	<li>What is their current level of support?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nTip:  The more senior, the more you need to keep it concise, short, and sweet.\r\n<div><strong>3.  Develop content.  </strong>Draft the content of the message with the most important information first. </div>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>\r\n<div>Put the conclusion first.    </div></li>\r\n	<li>\r\n<div>Next, put the evidence and/or details that you outlined as

explicit.</div></li>\r\n	<li>\r\n<div>Finally, simplify.  Use simple sentence structure.  Don’t put dependent clauses at the beginning of the sentence.  Eliminate unnecessary details. </div></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing these steps will enhance your communication skills and your overall performance.  You can even leverage these three steps for speaking because usually you are

lately.  Without even knowing it, fear of the unknown and fear of failure have had a big grip on me and my psyche.  Thank goodness I have been able to reconnect with my purpose and leadership mission.  Being in and acting with fear is a miserable existence.  Frustration and anger are typical, and all I see is negativity everywhere.  Well, here I offer three steps to make your fear irrelevant and to use to excel:\r\n\r\n<strong>Reconnect with your larger purpose and strengths</strong>.  First,  to deal with mine, I pulled out my leadership mission statement and recalled consciously why I am in the leadership training business as an entrepreneur....I have the privilege of honoring my values, utilizing my strengths, and having a positive impact on the community I serve.  The positive feedback I received from my webinar with ASIS women in security last Thursday, my coaching sessions, and my Guilt Free Self Promotion teleseminar on Thursday enabled me to do this (sign up for the Security Executive Skills Mastery on Sept 15 at 1pm Eastern under \"subscribe\").  This immediately made the fear irrelevant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Examine the root cause of your fear</strong>.  Second, I analyzed the fear more tangibly.  What specifically am I afraid of?  What am I avoiding?  The root cause of mine was fear of failure as an entrepreneur.  As part of this process, I recalled that there are no failures and no mistakes, only lessons to learn.  Indeed, I learn every time I trip up and am willing to honestly evaluate how I contributed to it. \r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself what would you do if you did not have the fear.  </strong>In my case, I continue to take small actions in pursuit of my entrepreneurial dream, and so I am.  \r\n\r\n<strong>Identify at least one specific action to mitigate the fear</strong>.  For me, I determined three specific actions and committed to completing the actions by the end of the week:  1)  Communicate my new full-time professional endeavor to my professional community - Check.  2)  Gain clarity on how to communicate my new coaching services as part of my leadership training business  - Check 3)  Write about my personal journey with fear in my blog - Check! \r\n\r\nAnd now that I am done,  I feel free.  I feel like the possibilities are endless, and I am grateful (again, as I learn this lesson over and over )for the opportunity to do this work.\r\n\r\nWhat are you avoiding unnecessarily because of fear?  Fear of the unknown is not to be under estimated.  But, holding on to it only enhances its power.  Fear is easily destroyed by confronting it head on, asking yourself what would you be doing if you weren\'t afraid, and launching into action.  Booya...now, that is leadership!','How to Leverage Fear to Excel','','inherit','open','open','','469-revision-5','','','2011-09-12 18:10:58','2011-09-12

Companies today are using these forums to enhance their online brand and connect with customers.  For example, if you are preparing to transition from a law enforcement executive to a corporate security executive, following companies you are targeting in your search on Twitter and Facebook can enable learning about the branding strategies and the industries in which the companies operate, which is helpful because this will be one of the primary risk management objectives in your role as a security executive.  More specifically, with Facebook, you can learn about the company through the eyes of its customers.  Indeed, to be a successful security practitioner, you must understand the business and the companies’ most profitable product lines now and for the future.  Doing so through social media is an easy way to learn about the individuals who are buying the products of the companies on your target list. \r\n\r\n LinkedIn is useful when looking for a new professional opportunity because you are able to follow the company on LinkedIn, connect with recruiters from the company, follow and interact with influencers within the organization, and gain access to the company’s sphere of influence through LinkedIn interest groups.  You can set up news alerts for articles naming the companies you are following and then post the links. \r\n\r\nTo successfully use social media, I recommend engagement every day.  Easy ways to do this are to re-tweet other tweets, leave intelligent comments on Facebook, and post interesting articles about the company on LinkedIn interest groups.  This may seem like it takes a lot of time, but it is literally minutes. You can re-tweet with one click on your way to get your next cup of coffee.  For example, a client made a positive impression with an interviewer by using Twitter to stay current about a new product offering of the company.  By simply following the company on Twitter, she was able to leverage real time information to demonstrate her interest in working for the organization.  With a little proactive planning, it only takes minutes per day to engage.','How to Use Social Media for a New Job Opportunity','','publish','open','open','','how-to-use-social-media-for-a-new-job-opportunity','','','2011-09-30 00:55:42','2011-09-30 00:55:42','',0,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/?p=498',0,'post','',0),(499,2,'2011-09-30 00:47:52','2011-09-30 00:47:52',' If you are looking to change jobs, a three-pronged strategy using Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn works best. \n\n Use Twitter and Facebook to learn about the brand and the needs of the customers of the companies you are looking to work for.

connect with industry influencers.  By posting articles of interest and commenting on other posts made by others, I have been able to increase my own influence and gain access to key industry people.  In one instance, I joined a LinkedIn interest group an industry influencer had started, and this individual frequently posts articles in the group.  To increase my visibility with this individual, I reviewed the articles, regularly provided relevant comments and responses in this forum and used it as an opportunity to share my own perspective.  It worked and now, we are exploring how we can collaborate to provide greater value to our respective clients.','Gain Visibility through Social Media','','inherit','open','open','','502-autosave','','','2011-09-30 00:52:14','2011-09-30

using Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn works best. \r\n\r\n Use Twitter and Facebook to learn about the brand and the needs of the customers of the companies you are looking to work for. Companies today are using these forums to enhance their online brand and connect with customers.  For example, if you are preparing to transition from a law enforcement executive to a corporate security executive, following companies you are targeting in your search on Twitter and Facebook can enable learning about the branding strategies and the industries in which the companies operate, which is helpful because this will be one of the primary risk management objectives in your role as a security executive.  More specifically, with Facebook, you can learn about the company through the eyes of its customers.  Indeed, to be a successful security practitioner, you must understand the business and the companies’ most profitable product lines now and for the future.  Doing so through social media is an easy way to learn about the individuals who are buying the products of the companies on your target list. \r\n\r\n LinkedIn is useful when looking for a new professional opportunity because you are able to follow the company on LinkedIn, connect with recruiters from the company, follow and interact with influencers within the organization, and gain access to the company’s sphere of influence through LinkedIn interest groups.  You can set up news alerts for articles naming the companies you are following and then post the links. \r\n\r\nTo successfully use social media, I recommend engagement every day.  Easy ways to do this are to re-tweet other tweets, leave intelligent comments on Facebook, and post interesting articles about the company on LinkedIn interest groups.  This may seem like it takes a lot of time, but it is literally minutes. You can re-tweet with one click on your way to get your next cup of coffee.  For example, a client made a positive impression with an interviewer by using Twitter to stay current about a new product offering of the company.  By simply following the company on Twitter, she was able to leverage real time information to demonstrate her interest in working for the organization.  With a little proactive planning, it only takes minutes per day to engage.','How to Use Social Media for a New Job Opportunity','','inherit','open','open','','498-revision-4','','','2011-09-30 00:49:13','2011-09-30 00:49:13','',498,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/498-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(506,2,'2011-10-20 00:56:25','2011-10-20 00:56:25','For any business, building a relationship with your customer is absolutely critical for success.  It takes between 7-10 times to engage a customer before he/she buys, and social media offers alternatives to direct mail, phone calls and emails.  Larry Snow of <a href=\"http://sjcwebdesign.com/2011/06/top-5-reasons-why-your-epsecurity-business-needs-a-social-media-strategy/\">SJC Web Design</a> advises social media is “word of mouth marketing on steroids” and to “think of social media as customer cultivation.

Before her security career, she spent five years in US Intelligence as an illicit transactions analyst. She is a Certified Professional Coach from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching and has written articles for <a title=\"The Glass Hammer\" href=\"http://www.theglasshammer.com/news/2011/02/15/lead-with-confidence-four-ways-to-develop-your-leadership-style/\">The Glass Hammer</a> and <a href=\"http://www.asisnyc.org/securitydirector/Spring%202011_ASIS.pdf\">ASIS NYC chapter\'s Security Director magazine</a>.  Natalie is active in the <a href=\"http://www.asisonline.org/membership/womenInSecurity.xml\">ASIS Women in Security Steering Committee</a>, <a href=\"http://www.asisonline.org/councils/BNKF.xml\">Banking &amp; Financial Services Council</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.asisonline.org/membership/womenInSecurity.xml\">Academic and Training Council</a>.  She lives with her husband and son in New York City.','About','','inherit','open','open','','2-revision-31','','','2011-08-08 23:31:47','2011-08-08 23:31:47','',2,'http://csoleadershiptraining.com/2-revision-31/',0,'revision','',0),(516,2,'2011-08-30 15:40:39','2011-08-30 15:40:39','Welcome Members!

17:02:51','Welcome to CSO Leadership Training, which provides leadership development learning programs EXCLUSIVELY for you, as a woman in security! I am glad you are here.\r\n\r\nIf you relate to one of the following, keep reading:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You are an aspiring senior executive and not sure what leadership skills you need or what path to take to get there.</li>\r\n	<li>You are tired of fighting an uphill battle to advance and frustrated with the lack of opportunity.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security manager who feels isolated as the only woman on the team and desires to build better working relationships.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security professional who wants to increase confidence, differentiate herself and demonstrate her value.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a woman in security who is torn between having a great career and a great family.</li>\r\n	<li>You are a security executive or owner of a company who needs to increase the team’s performance, engagement and results (and who wants to have an easier time leading it)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf any of these statements resonate with you, you are in the right place. CSO Leadership Training can help you to regain an edge, so you can enjoy more success in your career and personal life. I know because I have been there. I know what it takes to achieve success. So let me show you how.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nBefore becoming a leadership trainer, I worked (and still do) in the security industry for a decade, performing roles in security operations, crisis management, and training. I was drawn to the field because of a desire to serve. I started my career in the public sector with a desire to serve my country and took this commitment to the corporate world to ensure the safety of staff. I enjoyed the experience of using my execution talents to deliver security services effectively and efficiently, though I often felt left out of \"the club\" as a senior woman on the team.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nI had been an connoisseur of training programs and an avid reader of books on leadership development. As the years progressed, I applied what I learned, and my skills reached new heights. At some point, however, I plateaued and tried every way I could think of to move up. Frustrated and burned out, I needed to do something drastic to find a new edge. It was not until I signed up for a presentation skills continuing education course in 2007 that my career path turned in a new direction to the nonprofit sector through a one-year fellowship leader development program. Shocked by the change in working environment, I was challenged and stretched. During the fellowship, I had the opportunity to develop a creativity and confidence-building leadership program for underprivileged children in Ghana. It was here that I discovered what a tremendous impact leadership and communication skills can have on children\'s confidence and their hope for a better future. Through this experience, I found my higher purpose--to pursue equality through teaching leadership skills.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nRefocused and rejuvenated, I returned to corporate security in search of new ways to channel my purpose, and it did not take very long to find it with the launch of an industry women\'s group. I listened, made connections, and shared challenges. The result is CSO Leadership Training, leadership learning programs exclusively for you.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nWhat will you get from CSO Leadership Training (as opposed to other programs)? Leadership skills to be a successful leader in the industry and a clear plan of action of how to get there without sacrificing who you are a woman, your personal life, or your authenticity. It is delivered completely to you on your terms. It does not require you to shell out thousands of dollars, incur expensive travel costs or take you away from your personal responsibilities.  And, I have a 100 percent money-back guarantee.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nHave questions?
