Developing Calm, Confident Power at Work
Workshop for Faculty and Staff
Thursday, September 22, 2011 · 8:15 AM - 12:30 PM
UMBC Professional Development Day 2011
Developing Calm, Confident Power at Work
What does it cost when you… Are tense or have trouble concentrating at work? Are unsure about your ability to perform a task? Feel overwhelmed about having too much to do? Avoid having an honest conversation about a challenging situation?
This year’s Professional Development Day is dedicated to helping you develop calm, confident power at work. New findings about the brain show that staying calm in challenging times can help our minds think more clearly, prioritize our workload, and accomplish tasks more easily.
When we can talk honestly, our stress decreases and productivity improves. In this program participants will learn and practice specific tools to use on the job including how to calm the naturally negative mind, push the ‘reset button’ to refocus your mind in a few minutes, notice and neutralize stressful stories that make a challenging situation even more difficult, and use a four-step formula for giving and receiving feedback and making requests of co-workers or your boss.
Continental breakfast will be provided. Supervisors are asked to encourage employees to attend.
Registration for this event is now closed.
