School’s Out: Getting Everyone Through the Summer

It is summertime, and school is out! For many people, summer conjures images of lazy, relaxing days at the beach. However, for many working families, summer brings the challenges of balancing the demands of adult work schedules with the desire to provide safe, fun activities for children. This workshop offers several ideas on summer activities and provides practical suggestions on how to keep your kids safe while you’re at work.

Target Audience: Parents and anyone involved in raising children.

April 26, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Bringing Out the Best in Others

Whether in your personal or your professional life, are you the kind of person that brings out the best in others? Do people shine around you, or do they tend to withdraw, hesitant to show their best? Some people seem to have a knack for challenging, motivating and inspiring their friends, family members and coworkers. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to do your part to make sure others are at their best around you.

Target Audience: Anyone looking for tips about how to support and encourage friends, family members and colleagues.

April 28, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Self-Care Tips for Managers

Stressful situations, whether from internal or external sources, are inevitable in organizations. For some managers, this may lead to over-extending themselves with minimal time for self-care. This training offers tools to help managers cope with stress and thrive in their organizations.

Target Audience: Organizational managers and leaders impacted by stress

May 10, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Helping Your Child Set Goals for the Future

Research has shown that parents have the greatest impact and influence on their children’s career choices. Helping your children to explore and identify their interests from an early age not only aids them in defining themselves, but will also help them make decisions about how they want their life to be. The more exposure you can give your children to the opportunities available to them, the more likely they will set exciting and achievable goals for themselves as they grow into adulthood.

Target Audience: Parents with preschool, elementary, middle or high school aged children and those working professionally

with children.

May 26, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.

Being Part of a Multigenerational Team

For the first time in history, there is the possibility that an organization can have four distinct generations in the workforce. While we need to be careful not to make too many generalizations about different age groups, it is helpful to categorize some aspects of each group’s behavior, needs and working styles to promote working relationships built on mutual understanding.

This session will provide each participant with the understanding of the different working styles, preferences and how each generation expects to be treated as employees. By understanding these differences, each person can contribute to the success of the team and organization regardless of generation.

Target Audience: All employees of an organization.

June 6, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
