Staff Development Opportunities — 02/17/2021

         


**Please note that the following opportunities are available to all faculty and staff.** 


LinkedIn Learning 


LinkedIn Learning Course

Building Trust

Trust is a fundamental aspect of any productive relationship. In business, trust has been proven to decrease turnover, increase innovation, and improve team performance. When trust is compromised, relationships and productivity can suffer. This course shows how professionals of all kinds can build trust with colleagues across their organization. Kelley School of Business senior lecturer Brenda Bailey-Hughes explains how to prove you are trustworthy, even in challenging situations like remote teams, and integrate trust-building habits into your daily routine.

LinkedIn JEDI Collection Learning Course

Communicating Across Cultures

To succeed in a cross-cultural business setting, it's important to understand the differences in how people communicate. Language isn't the only barrier. Pace, style, and nonverbal cues all affect how messages are received. If you do business on a global scale or in a diverse environment, adapting your communication strategy is critical to workplace harmony and the bottom line. In this course, Kelley School of Business professor and executive coach Tatiana Kolovou demonstrates simple techniques to build your cross-cultural communication skills: as a manager, peer, or coworker. Learn how to adapt your communication style, overcome hidden bias, and build rapport with colleagues around the world.

LinkedIn Learning bridges the gap between the career you want and the skills you need. Learn online, at your own pace, with our library of 5,000+ creative, business, and technology courses, on subjects from art to Zend Framework. Learn how to find the best courses to take using our recommendations and search tools, explore learning paths, play and pause training videos, use transcripts and exercise files, and customize your learning experience.

All employees can utilize LinkedIn Learning: SLCC Learn

Virtual Training Session

10:00 am – 11:00 am

Learning Objectives

Family caregivers, friends, and community care partners play a supporting role in the life of an aging or vulnerable adult. The important question for these supportive individuals is, “Am I willing to support those I care for in the way they choose to age?” If the answer is yes, or even “yes, with a few minor negotiations”, then a caregiver is more likely to gain the trust and acceptance needed to make caring for others possible.

Testimonials from May 2020 Meditative Pause for People in Higher Education

“Thank you Andrea and Heidi once again for organizing these weekly meditative sessions. I am a firm believer in meditation, as I practice it on my own. But these weekly sessions really worked for me because it was a time for reflection as well. What I really liked about these sessions was the fact that each session centered around a theme. For instance Andrea yesterday you focused on “not trying to fix anything,” so while I was meditating I was consciously trying to led go of things that are beyond my control and that helped. When I meditative I don’t generally reflect on anything in particular but your sessions made us all reflect on issues and that helped, at least for me. I would definitely be interested if you continue with these sessions. Thank you once again”

— Aarti Nakra


“I found these session to be very valuable and re-energizing. Not to put too much on it, but I feel these are more valuable now than ever. I would be very interested in these in the future.” — Matt S. Merkel
