Communication The Key to Getting Results

Accountability and Performance Management

Communication is often talked about as an important leadership skill, but what does effective communication look like? In today’s workplace, leaders are often called upon to engage their employees in transitions of focus, processes, and direction. Communication and your ability to influence and inspire action is perhaps the most important building block in the process of leading others. You will learn techniques to communicate in order to inspire the team to deliver results. You will explore listener focused communication while concentrating on what the listener needs to hear to spark behavior change. You will also explore the adjustments required to communicate with team members in the same location as well as those across the globe. This course is the third in a series of eight courses to earn your Excellence in Leadership Certificate. Tuition includes textbook.

Accountability, when proactively created, fosters a sense of ownership among employees and ensures desired results are achieved. Leaders create accountability when expectations are clearly and specifically communicated and results are acted upon.

The predictable, and often distracting, focus on the generational divide is a recurring myth that arrives on cue every 20 years. And it predictably creates barriers – metaphorical bricks in the wall – that distract us from what actually connects us. The workplace isn’t changing simply because one generation has come of age while another has grown old. It’s because we collectively – regardless of age and experience – have evolved. Rather than focus on one segment of the workforce we should turn our attention to the changing nature of work itself and the evolution of the employee. In this session, we explore the value of turning away from the ‘generational divide’ and, instead, focus on practical ways to leverage shared values, goals and interests to create organizational value and personal satisfaction in the workplace.

Leading Others Through Organizational Change: Strategies and Insights For Managerial Success Woodrow Wilson said, “If you want to make enemies, try to change something.” Undoubtedly, periods of organizational change are some of the most challenging, and potentially rewarding times for managers. This engaging, interactive session is focused on providing practical, take-home strategies for managers helping employees through organizational changes. Explore common stages that individuals and organizations go through when facing change and understand the difference between “change” and “transition,” and why it is important that employees recognize the difference during periods of organizational change.

Every day we make decisions and solve problems. Despite making numerous decisions every day, many of us are still uncomfortable making conscious decisions. In this course you will learn to identify and define problems, learn tools and techniques to solve problems and understand how to think critically. Time will also be spent understanding group dynamics as they apply to decision making and problem solving, as well as learning how to utilize decision support tools that can aid in decision making. Tuition includes a textbook and course materials.

Personal Effectiveness: Managing Energy, Time and Technology for Maximum Impact Our ability to have the impact we desire depends largely on our ability to manage the moments: the emails, tasks, roles, and responsibilities we manage on a daily basis. During this interactive workshop, we will explore how managing our energy, time, and technology allows us to be more productive and happier along the way. Participants will learn how managing energy, rather than just managing time, increases effectiveness and fulfillment, different ways to prioritize the “important” over the “urgent,” even in a high-intake world of emails, phone calls, reminders, alarms, text messages, and an unlimited list of things to do, how to say “no” in order to say “yes” to the things that matter, how to use technology in a way that supports rather than stifles us, and the role of effective decision making and effective delegation.

Team Transformations: Lost in the Middle - Why the Best Strategies Often Fail Too often, well-intended, well-defined and well-communicated strategic initiatives lose coherence, morph and ultimately get lost in middle layers of organizational bureaucracy between those that created the strategy and those tasked with carrying it out. This informative and engaging talk challenges participants to think about team transformation in a new and exciting way. Combining business, sociological and psychological theories with the practical and tactical actions being used right now to help organizations outperform their competition. ‘Lost in the Middle’ bridges the gap between theory and practice and dives into the ‘I.C.E. Principle’, focused on driving performance through Innovation (how to think differently), Collaboration (how to work differently) and Engagement (how to sell more to more people, more often), all while harnessing the power of human connections to ensure widespread strategic success.

Water Pipe Sizing for Plumbers (online) This online course covers the most commonly used UPC method of sizing water distribution systems as described in Code sections 610.7 - 610.9. This is the sizing that will be used in the course you are beginning. It should be noted that the Uniform Plumbing Code offers three other ways to size water piping systems. Appendix A is useful in sizing larger systems, especially if the water supply fixture units and length limits in Table 6-6 are exceeded. Appendix L allows for separate fixtures in a bathroom to be sized as a group. This allows for large apartment complexes and condos to be more economically sized. Footnote three in Table 6-5 permits fixtures, in branches that are supplied with both hot and cold piping, to be assigned 75 percent of their Table 6-5 values. The benefit, in larger installations is cost savings that could result from smaller pipe sizes being required. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted before using any option other than the standard sizing method.

Journeyman Plumber with Gas Exam Prep Course (online) This course is designed to help you become more familiar with the Uniform Plumbing Code. This is accomplished by asking a series of questions. To receive the greatest benefit you should take the time to find each answer in your code book. Do not guess. The answers to these questions, as well as the answers that you will need when you take the Journey Plumber Test with Gas, will be from the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code, not what you may or may not practice in the field. The knowledge and skill you gain from this course will be based on the effort that you put into it. Each set of questions are based on a specific chapter of the code book. In the actual journey plumber test, the questions are random and result in a wider search area of the code book for each answer. An advantage of an online class is that you can work at your convenience and at your own pace. However, the journey person test is timed and this luxury will not be there.

In this class, we will talk through the various types of dreams, how to break down and understand the message behind it, along with identifying a plan going forward to help you to recognize and work through the messages presented in your dreams.

EKG Technician Training Program Meet the demand for cross-trained health professionals by adding EKG skills to your resume. Our comprehensive 60-hour EKG Technician Training Program prepares you to function as an EKG Technician. An EKG technician is a medical professional trained in operating specialized equipment used to measure the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. Technicians work directly with patients, administer the test and provide the resulting data to physicians for analysis. Electrocardiogram (EKG) tests are critical in helping doctors determine heart health problems in patients. EKGs check the electrical activity of the heart to access heart rhythm, rate, strength and timing.

This non-credit course includes important practice and background information on the anatomy and physiology of the heart, medical disease processes, medical terminology, medical ethics, and legal aspects of patient contact. Students will practice with EKG equipment and perform hands-on labs including introduction to the function and proper use of the EKG machine, and other clinical practices. There is no externship component; all preparation is through lectures, online learning and hands-on training (labs). Prerequisites: Minimum 18 years of age with high school diploma or its equivalent. Prior to registering, all students must take the COMPASS reading placement test by contacting the Kirkwood Community College Test Center at 319-398-5456 in Cedar Rapids or 319-887-3642 in Iowa City.

Electric Cars: Fun and Economical Electric Vehicles (EVs) like the Nissan LEAF or Chevy Volt run on electricity. EVs have less than 75 percent of gas car maintenance while being quiet and exhilarating to drive! Buying electricity is like getting fuel for $1/gal. With solar panels, you can make your own, clean, car energy. The instructor spent $4200 for 25 years of solar car “fuel.” A used electric car can cost about $10,000 with very low miles; the perfect second car! Come prepared to ask any question.

Paranormal Studies 101: Haunting and Investigations

Grave Topics: Cemetery History and Tombstone Symbolism

Learn the basics of what a haunting is and the different theories behind haunting activity. Understand the different classifications of haunting, and a breakdown of entities and spirits that can be encountered. Discuss the differences between what is shown in the media and in real life, and also how ghosts are perceived from culture to culture. Due to the intense nature of the course, students must be 18 or older.

Cemeteries are fantastic open air museums that teach us about the past and provide beautiful examples of art and sculpture. In this class we will examine the history of ancient and modern cemeteries, gravestone art, and symbolism from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. We will look at what gravestones can tell us about attitudes towards death and dying, and how they have changed over time by looking at inscriptions, epitaphs, motifs, and morphologies. We will look at funeral customs during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries including funeral and cemetery etiquette today.
