Topic for the March 24 session: JV Administration - A Review of Processes and Procedures

A Joint Venture Administration Taskforce has been set up by PJVA to update and revamp the Mount Royal University course.

Teresa Waddington, Chairperson of the Task Force, will be talking about the course revamp and focus on what the role of the Joint Venture Administrator is (business communication, agreement maintenance, mail ballots and AFE's, acquisitions and divestments, etc.). Lorie Caron and Lynn Woolston will be addressing three areas of controversy and provide instruction on: 1) effective versus binding dates as they relate to property acquisitions and divestments; 2) exhibit revisions and amendments; and 3) mail ballots and AFE's.

This mini-seminar will be of benefit to all disciplines within Joint Venture,from the JV and AFE Administrators, to the Contract Analysts, to the Reps and Management. Space is limited, so please register early to avoid disappointment.

Communication and Negotiation
Let's Talk - Success in Communication and Negotiation is All About YOU!

All of us negotiate every day in our professional and personal lives. For many of us, the hardest negotiations involve conflict. Whether we fight back, shut down, or avoid conflict altogether, breakdowns with other people rarely bring out our best skills or better nature. The most important negotiations, and the ones that determine the quality of our lives, are those we have with ourselves. This course has been designed to provide you with negotiation and conflict management skills as well as introduce people to the concept of negotiation mastery, and will provide an overview of:
  • Negotiations/Conflict (two parties in conflict);
  • Self Awareness (family of origin, history, cultural filters, what is conflict, sources of conflict, assumptions);
  • Preparation (emotional and mental preparation, content preparation using the C2C Handbook, preparing BATNA/WATNA); and
  • Understanding and Communication (listening, seek first to understand and then be understood, speaking).
Instructors: Dave Savage, President, Savage Management Ltd. (specialist in leader coaching, conflict management, negotiations and management consulting) Kerry Brown, President, Moving Forward Inc. (specialist in mediation, facilitation, training of conflict management skills and processes) Gary Selby, President, Arangel Energy Corp. (specialist in mediation, facilitiation, arbitration, coaching, training)
