Each season, the University of Utah Professional Education Department will be bringing you a panel of experts on a topic. This upcoming season, we will be focusing on how to strengthen your human skills for personal growth.
Each event will begin at noon and will offer attendees a chance to hear from an expert, ask questions and make connections with other professionals. Light refreshments will be served and participants are invited to bring their own “brown bag” lunch to the event.
We easily get caught up in projects and deadlines related to our professional role. But, if we aren’t careful, we can neglect our most important project…us! In this presentation, we learn how to apply Project Management skills to our life to improve our abilities to tackle projects at home and in the workplace.
We have all been in those defining moments - in a “crucial” or “breakthrough” conversation with an important person, emotionally charged, where our decisions or behaviors at the moment could lead down many different paths. In our rapidly changing world, we are interdependent upon technologies, stresses, and pressures. This charged atmosphere makes it imperative to nourish our personal, professional, and community relationships. And develop tools, skills, and an enhanced capacity to find new and better solutions. This workshop will introduce you to the classic concepts of “Crucial Conversations” and how you can find better solutions, decision-making processes, increased commitment, and better relationships – not “my way” or “your way,” but “our way.”
An introduction to performance-based Improvisation and how it can improve your personal and professional life. We’ll explore the rules of improv, what they mean, and how they can apply to work and home life.
