Staff Synergy: To Be or Not To Be?
1 or 2 hours
Have you ever wondered what it would take to work in an environment that fosters personal development, provides quality services to "clients" and values team work? Sometimes this ideal isn't that far away. With minor adjustments and a greater knowledge of working "in community" participants will be encouraged to evaluate their role in making a staff productive. The motivation to work towards greater group cohesiveness and better intra-group communication will be explored along with accompanying skill building lessons.

Staying Motivated to Work in Higher Education
1 or 2 hours
Does the "Just Expired" sign go up on your forehead every time a student or colleague (maybe even friend, spouse, boss, etc. ) walks into your office? Is it frustrating when you recognize that the methods, practices and policies that used to work effectively just don't get the same results? Has the push for providing better "customer service" left you wondering where "student development" fits in? This session is designed to allow participants to become re-energized by providing motivational strategies, information about reaching today's college student and tips on being student consumer oriented. You make a difference.
