Communicating Values

-35 minutes

Common values are the foundation of successful relationships and successful businesses. A company’s values should be the driver of every action, not just a sign on the wall. Learning how to effectively communicate your values can lead to stronger, better-performing teams that are more tightly aligned with company goals. In this course, instructor Mory Fontanez describes how to identify and communicate individual, team, and organizational values.

Caregiver Workshops for SLCC Employees (2021-2022)

Staff Development is proud to announce that we will be partnering with Salt Lake County 

Aging and Adult Services to offer a selection of caregiver workshops for SLCC Employees. This 

set of workshops assist SLCC employees who are caregivers in developing the skills needed to

manage an in-home care environment for better work-life balance. There is no cost for the 

workshops; but you must register for the workshops you want to watch virtually. Prior to each

workshop, employees who have registered will receive a link to join the meeting. Due to the

sensitive nature of the information shared in these workshops, they will not be recorded.

CC15 – Setting Good Care Boundaries Virtual Training Session Thursday, September 23rd 10:00 am – 11:00 am   Learning Objectives “Healthy boundaries are not a wall. They are the gates and fences that allow you to enjoy the beauty of your own garden” (Lydia H Hall). Keep those you care for, and yourself, healthy and safe. Learn how to set and communicate clear boundaries.
CC25 – Care Planning Meetings Virtual Training Session Thursday, October 7th 10:00 am – 11:00 am   Learning Objectives Collaboration with others is a vital part of the caregiving process. No one person has all the skill, energy, and ability to serve another. A care planning meeting, traditionally known as a family meeting, is held to ensure everyone involved knows the current care plan and their essential role in the care situation.
CC26 – Improving Communication Virtual Training Session Tuesday, November 9th 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm   Learning Objectives Those who help the family’s main caregiver need current and easy access to information about the care receiver. A Care Binder, and other tools, such as online calendars or a blog, keep everyone in the loop. It gives others the ability to look at information on their own time, as needed—while lifting the daily communication burden away from the primary caregiver.
CC27 – Asking for Help Virtual Training Session Wednesday, February 23rd 10:00 am – 11:00 am   Learning Objectives Asking for help takes courage. It means letting go—allowing others to serve in their way, and on their time schedule. Learn to ask for help in a way that gives others choice. Learn to make asking for help less stressful and more engaging.
CC28 – Understanding Behaviors Virtual Training Session Thursday, March 17th 11:00 am – 12:00 pm   Learning Objectives There are two types of behaviors that need to be considered when caring for others. 1) The true nature of a person—the behaviors they have always used; and, 2) The behaviors that are present because of a diagnosis, injury, or change in health condition. Learn to differentiate between the two.
CC29 – Calming Behaviors Virtual Training Session Tuesday, April 12th 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm   Learning Objectives Noah Elkrief said, “A behavior is not difficult. It is the story we write about the behavior that makes it difficult for us”. Learn to separate the behavior from the story. Learn to create calm environments that keep behaviors manageable.
CC30 – Working With Behaviors Virtual Training Session Tuesday, May 10th 10:00 am – 22:00 am   Learning Objectives Professionals use a variety of words when discussing behaviors—examples include, coping, guiding, and managing. What is the difference in the three and what types of technique works best with each approach? Learn skills to influence the care environment, and learn when to ask for help. Some behaviors require assistance.
Presented By  Kathy Nelson – Training Specialist Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services	Who can register to attend? All SLCC Employees   Due to the sensitive nature of the information shared in these workshops, they will not be recorded. You must register to attend the virtual sessions.

2021 Housing Survey

Hey Bruins,

When you hear “college dorm room,” what kind of image flashes through your head? How many roommates, what color are the walls and, here’s the kicker: is it on SLCC campus somewhere?

In the future, it could be! 

But first, we need find out what current Bruins think about potential on-campus housing. That’s why we’ve created this survey: On-campus Housing at SLCC.

It takes about 12 minutes — that’s less than your average Netflix episode — and, in exchange for your time and valuable insight, everyone who participates will be entered to win one of hundreds of prizes:  

1 in 5 odds of winning a $10 gift card to Cupbop Korean BBQ,

1 in 20 odds of winning a $25 gift card to SLCC’s College Bookstore

1 in 30 odds of winning a $30 gift card to Amazon

1in 100 odds of winning a $500 gift card to your choice: Target, Walmart or Amazon

 

This gives you a pretty good chance of snagging something, friends. And even if you don’t, your feedback makes a difference. Truly. We’re taking this thing so seriously that we even brought in outside help from The Scion Group, a national consulting services firm who knows the college housing biz front to back. 

 

Just think, future generations of Bruins could study and live on campus — or not, who knows? — all thanks to you.

 

We hope you’ll take a minute to complete the survey, Bruins. 'Cause someone has to win all those gift cards!

 

See you in class,

 

Lindsay Simons

SLCC Student Body President

Proven Success Strategies for Women at Work

Women are underrepresented in the C-suite. And women who aspire to leadership roles face unique challenges in today's companies. They are passed over for key opportunities, paid less than their male colleagues, and left out of critical networks and sponsor relationships. Additionally, smaller everyday challenges impede women's progress at work, like being interrupted in meetings, having their ideas stolen, or having to do 'invisible work' for no credit. Being a woman at work today requires a unique set of skills and strategies.

In this course, business consultants Deborah Kolb and Elizabeth Robillard help women learn these strategies so they can get the job they want, the pay they deserve, and the credit that counts. They provide guidance on how to identify challenges, negotiate for better opportunities and compensation, get helpful feedback, and create a network of support. In the course, they use scenarios of real women tacking these challenges and coming out ahead.
