  Lindsay Satterfield

  Productivity Trainer & Coach CEO, SATTERFIELD & COMPANY 

  

  Lindsay teaches professionals how to be productive in a fast, fascinating, and messy world. In today’s amped-up, on-demand environment, many are drowning in email, sidetracked by busy work, and preoccupied with daily “firefighting.” Most are running to keep up — with little time left to get to the things that matter most.

  Lindsay shows people how to regain control, make space, find time, get clear, and accomplish the things that are important to them — while staying calm, cool, and collected.

  She works with small businesses and large enterprises in international development, non-profit, for-profit, and government sectors. She shares her expertise with clients globally — from Latin America to Africa, the Far East and beyond — because it seems everyone everywhere is looking for ways to survive and thrive in the information-saturated, constantly-changing, always-on world of work and life.

  She draws on the latest findings in brain science, behavioral economics, and the social sciences to help make accomplishment a daily routine.

  Lindsay’s clients include The World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, the African Development Bank, Sodexo, Medtronic, USAID, the National Park Service, United Way, National Association of Corporate Directors, John Hopkins University, Public Health Institute, InterAmerican Development Bank, National Cooperative Bank, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Together for Girls, and United Nations Foundation.

  Her work is also available to individuals through online training, coaching, and public virtual and in-person events.

  How to Hire, Fire, and Not Get Sued!

  Tips for Protecting Your Business

  From Employment Lawsuits

  
  

  Hundreds of thousands of employment-related claims are brought in every State every year by employees against their employers.  Meanwhile, employers need to comply with more and more newly passed employment laws every year.  In this program, an experienced employment law attorney shares with us best practices employers can adopt to better insulate themselves against legal liability. 

  
  

  We'll discuss:

  
  

  • Who can be classified as a freelancer or independent contractor, and who must be classified as an employee?

  • What does at-will employment really mean?

  • How to handle employee performance issues to reduce legal exposure? 

  • What are best practices when it comes to hiring and firing?

  • What steps can employers take to reduce vulnerability to unpaid wage and other wage and hour claims?

  • What leaves of absence are employees legally entitled to, including discussion of paid sick, pregnancy , medical leaves and accommodations.

  
  

  Bring your questions!

  
  

  Complimentary for C-Sweet members. Non-member tickets - $49.
