BUILDING RESILIENT TEAMS CERTIFICATE Create Trust & Increase Engagement! In the workplace today, it’s easy for teams to succumb to ways of working that don’t inspire their best efforts despite everyone’s best intentions. As human beings we have two different ways of regulating: either connect or protect. Resilient teams regulate in connect the vast majority of the time. They are connected with who they are as individuals, with each other, and with their team purpose. They know how to create synergy with each other. They know their strengths and weaknesses. Biologically, our connect systems stimulate feel-good hormones, most important of which are oxytocin (trust), dopamine (reward, motivation) and serotonin (satisfaction, pleasure). These hormones not only help us feel good but also elicit our best thinking, as well as our most focused and sustainable efforts.
How It Works • We recommend taking Creating Psychological Safety first but the classes can be taken in any order. • Classes range from 1-3 days from 8:00am4:30pm. • Classes are offered year-round. • Take one course or complete the certificate.

Building a Team
This one-day seminar is for individuals or workgroups interested in becoming high performing teams. Developing into an effective team requires vision, purpose and planning. Without an agreed upon team structure and process, work groups are unlikely to evolve into high performing teams. At this seminar, participants will be provided an overview of the development stages of teams as well as the leadership strategies to move teams forward. As part of this process, we will explore the development and application of team visions, mission statements, values, and ground rules. We will also examine the use of team Charters and the leadership roles of the team sponsor, process owner and team leader. Participants will also explore how to build trust and turn conflict into cooperation. Instructors: Doric Olson & John Utter. 1/15 Code C363

Motivational Strengths
Would you like to discover the secret of sustainable success? Your Motivational Strengths are your most meaningful, energizing, and effective actions. Learning to use your Motivational Strengths helps make the best of difficult situations, elevates our capacities when things are going well, and fosters a growth mindset. You will also learn how to appreciate and bring out the best in others, which helps create better relationships and more successful teams at work. Instructor: John Utter. 3/30-3/31 Code C515

Strengths of Difference The most successful teams know and appreciate each other's strengths and differences. They understand that the genius of any team is built primarily on how we relate to each other. What makes this class different is that it demonstrates how our brains work in ways that, at first, seem oppositional, but when understood, become opportunities. Just as our differences can lead to conflict they can also open up avenues for creativity and success. If we try to get others to do things like we do, we tend to bump heads and important things either don't get done or get done badly. However, if we can acknowledge and appreciate our diverse approaches then we can get a smarter and more comprehensive view of the situation while inspiring sustainable success.

Motivating & Coaching to Build Top Talent
Organizations need people to step up and get the job done. Most organizations expect this without giving enough of the right kinds of support to staff and without insisting on the right kinds of activities from managers. This class helps participants create environments that compel initiative at every level and gives them the hands-on coaching practice needed to develop people’s capacity, be they already high-performers, entry level staff, or somewhere in between. Upon completion participants should be able to: •
Assess your organization for four variables that drive employee performance • Utilize the six steps of a good coaching conversation • Effectively deliver positive reinforcement so constructive feedback can be optimized • Know the importance of keeping conversations focused on what can be improved and how it can be done • Energize staff to take ownership and drive positive ethics • Understand why some people won't get on board and what to do about it 2/19-2/21 WThF 8:00am-4:30pm $595 Code C439 Lacey Campus L1-194 21CHs
Managing Change & Making Great Decisions
Organizations that have the right change rollout conversations and involve the right people at the right times are the most successful. Organizations that are clear about their decision making criteria and how each member is expected to input are more productive. This program leads participants through an assessment of these processes in their organization and for their teams. Teaches strategies to immediately elevate functioning and provides templates for keeping the improvement focused and on track in the future. Upon completion participants should be able to: • Understand the components of the change "process" • Understand the impact that change has on employees and customers • Practice assessing root causes of issues, rather than treating symptoms • Practice five key facilitator practices: Observing behaviors, eliciting clear communication, challenging assumptions, speaking with tact, and maintaining group energy 1/27-1/29 Code C302

Leading from the Middle: Influencing without Direct Authority
To get the job done, effective leaders know how to use influence when they lack direct authority. They innovate, using informal power to compel key stakeholders, upward, downward, and laterally. Participants in this course will experience expanded positive influence by embodying the attributes of influential people, discover how to read situations in order to bring the right communication, and learn strategies to brand their leadership identity with others and with themselves. • Challenge your personal assumptions about your ability to exert more influence • Leverage the power base you already possess • Practice the art of clear, concise, direct, and tactful communication, and understand when to and when not to use it • Emphasize positive influence by connecting actions to peoples’ values • Explore methods to overcome bureaucratic impediments 2/26-2/28 WThF 8:00am-4:30pm $595 Code C440 Lacey Campus L1-182 21CHs
Leading Through Difficulty: Emotional Intelligence, Communication, & Conflict Management
Most employees spend too much time in conflict situations. Most managers spend too much time putting out fires that could have been prevented with better planning and more deliberate actions. These events collide to create a constant strain for managers. This program gives them the tools to better manage themselves so they are less drained from these realities, it clarifies processes for handling conflicts head-on before they become too hot to handle, and it provides practice in communication skills for turning difficult situations into win-wins almost all the time. • Assess Emotional Intelligence: What it is, why it matters and how to improve it • Discover how conflicts are shaped by expectations, perceptions and life long coping patterns • Implement an interest-based approach to help both sides get their needs met • Use the components of the conflict "process" when mediating impasse between others • Practice how to face your next conflict head-on
