Special Guest Speaker: Ms. Traci Duez, CSAC

After graduating from Case Western Reserve University with a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a minor concentration in Sports Medicine, Traci continued her education at The Ohio State University. There she entered the master’s program in physical education specializing in Athletic Coaching and Sports Psychology.

Prior to beginning Break Free Consulting, Traci worked for 20+ years in various roles from medical technologist to laboratory informatics specialist; from project manager to member of the senior management team of an IT consulting firm. In 2006, she partnered with 6 Advisors™ and launched Break Free Consulting to help people to break free of their often self-imposed limitations to achieve more than they thought possible. Today she speaks to organizations about the science of axiology and how your critical thought processes can be measured and changed. Her coaching program, “Managing Your 6 Advisors”, has helped her clients personally and professionally.

Topic: Understanding Value Judgments for Effective Supply Management

As purchasing and supply management professionals, you understand a multitude of processes and principles that are needed for your discipline.

But, how much do you know about thought processes? Some? A little? Yet, you and every member of your team, everyone associated with your work, processes between 12,000 and 50,000 thoughts per day. It’s important that you understand how you and those around you process thoughts and make value judgments.

In this presentation, we will discuss how the science of human values (axiology) and the 3 classes of value. We’ll look at how you can utilize this information to more effectively manage your people, your tasks and your processes.

Topics that we’ll cover include:
· How your brain works
· The science of axiology
· The “boardroom of advisors” in your mind
· How you can scientifically measure critical thought processes
· How you can change and improve your thought processes

You’ll come away understanding that…

1. You are not your thoughts.
2. You have the ability to choose how you respond to the thoughts that your mind gives to you.
3. Your success is the result of consistently making good choices at pivotal moments throughout your day.

After the meeting, you’ll also have the opportunity to take a free, confidential online assessment to measure your own critical thought processes. When you review your results online, you will become more aware of your supporting thought processes and the thought processes that may be sabotaging your success.
