Listening With Purpose
We’ve all had moments where we left a conversation feeling like wires got crossed — maybe something wasn’t clear, or the takeaway didn’t match what the other person expected. Small miscommunications like these can snowball into bigger frustrations or conflicts. In this training, we'll explore simple tools for being more present, catching what others really mean (not just what they say), and making sure we’re on the same page. These skills help reduce conflict, strengthen collaboration across differences, and make day-to-day interactions smoother. Open to all employees.

Reclaiming Agency: Seeing Your Impact at Work
Tuesday, January 20th, 10am-12pm, CCMPR (College Center, 223)
Many employees want to feel a sense of agency and impact in their work, but competing priorities and complex systems can make that difficult. This session helps participants reconnect with where their work truly creates value, identify what they can control or influence, and practice simple strategies that increase clarity and momentum.
Through reflection, discussion, and research-backed tools, participants learn how to reclaim power in their role. Open to all employees.
