Amanpreet Jatana, Graduate.

Certificate in Visual Design specializing in Photography.

“I’m so happy I found Continuing Education,” says Amanpreet Jatana, a graduate of the Certificate in Visual Design specializing in Photography.

“No matter what your age, it can work for you.”

Amanpreet’s photography certificate fulfills a personal goal that she set aside for more than a decade while she worked to realize a family dream.

In 2001, at the age of 17, Amanpreet arrived from India to live with her aunt in Calgary and by 2007, she was ready to bring her family to Canada. A year later, she married, and soon after began her own family.

It was Amanpreet’s brother who introduced her to UCalgary in 2010.

She chose to pursue the Visual Design program and has since gone on to work towards the Graphic Design certificate.

Amanpreet has established her own business — photographing families, babies, and kids’ birthday parties.

“Photography is both my business and my passion,” she says. “My business is small now, but I hope to see it grow.”

Flexible programs

on campus. downtown. online.

At University of Calgary Continuing Education, all certificate programs have been developed with part-time learners in mind, making it possible for you to pace your program to fit your life. Given that most students have other significant time commitments, we recommend taking no more than two courses at one time.

FLEXIBLE COURSE DELIVERY

Courses are offered in a variety of formats including classroom and online.

Occasionally, courses are offered in a blended format — partially in the classroom and partially online. Some certificates are achieved completely in the classroom, others completely through online learning. Some certificate programs give you the choice of taking your courses in either format.

TAKING COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM

Continuing Education courses are held at the University of Calgary main and downtown campuses at times that are convenient for adult learners. Class times vary, depending on the program.

University of Calgary Main Campus 2500 University Drive NW University of Calgary Downtown Campus 906 8th Avenue SW

TAKING COURSES ONLINE

Learning online takes the learning experience out of the traditional classroom and on to the Internet.

Most of Continuing Education’s online courses are instructor-led, interactive courses. Students work within scheduled start- and enddates and observe set timelines for learning activities and assignments.

For most courses, students are free to choose when they go online during the week. However, some courses require that students attend online classes on designated dates and at designated times.

For courses that allow you to choose when you will go online, you should plan to log in to the University’s online learning software three to four times per week in order to keep pace with the class. You should plan on studying and working approximately six hours per week per course.

UNCERTAIN ABOUT ONLINE LEARNING?

Before taking your first instructorled, interactive online course, you will be required to take BMC 352 Learning Online. This course is your chance to practise online learning in a safe environment.

BMC 352 LEARNING ONLINE

Discover more about yourself as an online learner in a supportive environment and ultimately determine if online learning is for you. Compare your current skills, habits and technical knowledge against what’s typically required for success in Continuing Education online courses. Whatever your starting point, you will develop and improve your abilities to connect, communicate and collaborate with others online. If you have previously taken an online course, you may apply to have the BMC 352 Learning Online requirement waived. If you have previously taken BMC 152 Learning Online, you are not required to take BMC 352 Learning Online.

Note: New sections of this course are added regularly as demand requires. For an up-todate list of currently offered sections, go to conted.ucalgary.ca/learningonline, or for access to the Learning Online Prerequisite Waiver Form, go to conted.ucalgary.ca/elearn/

When Pete Barker realized that for the first time in a long time he had spare time on his hands, he decided to enrol in Continuing Education courses.

“My kids are grown, my wife works in the day, and I work shifts. So I had time on my hands and wanted to fill it with something beneficial,” says Pete, a sergeant with the Calgary Police Service, and a graduate of both the Professional Management and Security Management certificate programs.

“I really like the online format,” says Pete. “I can work on my classes in the day, and walk my dog and take breaks whenever I want.

“This past winter, I took a holiday to Phoenix, and rather than not enrol in courses that semester, I just took my laptop along. It worked great.”

“Taking Continuing Education courses has made me think about things I’ve never thought of before, and the learning has definitely benefited me.”

one day @ ucalgary THE GREAT MELT: GEOPOLITICS OF THE CHANGING ARCTIC NEW

SPORT IN ANCIENT GREECE NEW

PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY: THE SCIENCE OF WHO WE ARE

Saturday, January 23 Saturday, January 16 The Arctic faces transformation of epic proportions. It was a forbidding and formidable region that remained a location of beauty, wonder and mystery.

Its extreme climates and geographical expanse meant that it remained off limits except for its northern indigenous population for much of its history.

Did you know that some believe that the Arctic may contain up to 13 per cent of the worlds undiscovered oil and 30 per cent of its undiscovered natural gas? Learn about at least four major transformational processes that are recasting the entire world. These include climate change, resource development, new technologies, and new geopolitical forces. Any one of these forces by itself would alter the Arctic, but all four taken together mean that the Arctic is now becoming very different from what it was. You will examine each of the four individually and then consider how they interact to produce the overall transformation that is now occurring.

Have you heard about the Olympic Games and the marathon race? Did you know that only one originated in Ancient Greece? Did you know that stadium refers to the actual distance that the athletes ran? Did you know that stretching after sport is not a 20th century invention? If you want to know why we still throw the discus or wrestle, or if you want to know about the origins of many of our sports, come to this class. Learn about ancient sport modalities and their practice as well as the social status of athletes, and the role of sports in education and war. And yes, discuss the criticism of athletes by philosophers who did not make near as much money as athletes.

Saturday, February 20

Saturday, March 5

Have you ever wondered how CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) specialists catch a criminal using a very small blood sample collected at a crime scene as evidence? This is possible only if a unique genetic (DNA) fingerprint can be found in the sample. In a similar way, metabolomics researchers look for the chemical fingerprints and metabolic patterns in blood, urine or any other biofluid to identify features that are related to an individual’s health, diet, medications or environment. More than 100 different metabolites can be measured from one single drop of blood. Discover how the metabolomics approach can lead to a simple blood/ urine test that will give physicians the tools for early recognition of disease, rapid diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate treatment, all of which are key to improving human health. The class will also include a lab-tour and simple lab-based exercises to become familiar with the equipment used in metabolomics-based studies.

Shakespeare’s plays should be fun.

Shakespeare was an actor who wrote for actors. His plays were meant to be seen and heard, not read. Our daylong session will embrace techniques that unlock the mysteries of how to actually make sense of Shakespeare.

We will explore a number of the more well known passages from such plays as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, MacBeth and Othello. Both the soliloquay and the scene will be examined. At the end of the day, you will know how to actually speak Shakespeare’s words, and will also know what they mean. (S’Blood = God’s Blood).

Schizophrenia is one of the most common, most feared, and most misunderstood mental disorders. This may be because – for most of us – our impression of schizophrenia has been formed by the media. Join us for a day of busting myths and revealing truths as we find answers to some of the most common questions about the disorder.

What is the true association between schizophrenia and violence? Why do people commonly think schizophrenia is the same as ‘split’ personality? What makes people hear or see things that aren’t there? Why do some people with schizophrenia develop distorted beliefs?

Our discussions will be based on current best knowledge of the disorder including the symptoms, causes, treatment, and historical background.

Come have your questions answered in this one day workshop and leave with a better understanding of what schizophrenia is and isn’t.

one day @ ucalgary TECHNOCREEP: THE SURRENDER OF PRIVACY AND THE CAPITALIZATION OF INTIMACY Saturday, March 12 Technology has started to move into a new, and very creepy phase. Wheels are turning within wheels and information is flowing in ways that most people don’t understand. We’ve heard a lot about government surveillance, but what businesses are doing may be even more disturbing. For example, you look up a product on Amazon and suddenly it’s showing up as an ad on your Facebook Page. Your eyeballs have just been sold to the highest bidder, through a little known system called FBX (Facebook Exchange). Or, you walk down Main Street USA at Walt Disney World and smell cookies baking.

What you actually smell is a chemical pumped into the air by a patented machine called The Smellitzer. You’ve just been hit by scent marketing. Stores and shopping malls are starting to use cameras to track your movements and mine data from where you linger, what you look at, and especially, what you pick up but don’t purchase.

business seminars COLLABORATE TO INNOVATE NEW

CULTIVATING INNOVATION IN YOUR ORGANIZATION NEW

DEFINE AND REFINE YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE NEW

In our complex and rapidly changing world, organizations are increasingly required to innovate. The big opportunity for organizations right now is to utilize the power of their leaders and teams to collaborate to innovate.

Leaders and teams who are able to tap into the collective intelligence of their teams have access to more inspiration, ideation, imagination, ingenuity, and ultimately innovation.

This seminar develops leader’s knowledge, awareness, intention and skill to co-create the ground conditions for the creative collaboration required for innovation. You will experience creative collaboration in action as you go through the innovation process.

Innovation continues to rank among the top priorities for companies across every industry. But, implementing operational and effective innovation isn’t easy. It requires strategies to encourage, access and develop ideas in the first place, well before you reach the implementation stage. Discuss all aspects of innovation. Discover how you can accelerate the efficiency and success rate of innovation within your organization. Learn concepts that can be applied immediately to spur incremental to radical innovation in your organization. Case studies will be explored to illustrate both successes and failures of innovation.

Topics

· Structure your organization’s grand challenges into specific problem statements · Identify and efficiently tap into sources for innovation · Design an efficient process to facilitate innovation · Build and maintain a healthy innovation portfolio · Integrate a strategic approach to partnerships and intellectual property · Identify and overcome internal and external barriers to innovation adoption · Create a culture within your organization that fosters innovation

According to many experts, one of the key elements determining success for leaders today is their leadership presence. The challenge is that there seems to be little consensus as to what ‘presence’ is precisely, and how to develop or enhance it. In this interactive session, we will pursue a definition of, and a plan for, developing leadership presence. We will explore the different perspectives that exist today and link them both to the context in which leaders operate, as well as the unique personality, approach and values that individuals bring to their leadership roles. You will leave the session with a clearer perspective on what leadership presence means to you, and strategies on how to further refine it in authentic ways to maximize your success and impact as a leader.

business seminars ENHANCING LEADERSHIP IMPACT WITH CREATIVITY TOOLS NEW Increasing numbers of CEOs are acknowledging that creativity is the most important leadership quality for success in business.

Over time, slogans can infiltrate our everyday conversation and lives. Our actions as leaders have the same potential. Our highest aspiration as leaders should not be about creating a big legacy, as much as creating a dayto-day legacy comprised of our vision, direction, decisions and the treatment of others, which can influence our corporate culture and everyday lives.

Though largely unseen, our legacy is being created now. In this seminar, explore the many dimensions of leadership and how to be mindful of our daily actions and decisions, and their potential legacy.

SYSTEMS THINKING: CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS NEW Peter Senge, a leading researcher in the fields of systems thinking and organizational learning, defines systems thinking as both a thinking skill and a language for understanding and working with complexity. When you understand the complexity of a situation, you are better able to think and act in ways that produce desired results, without causing harmful side effects. In this seminar, learn a unique approach to systems thinking as a method and tool for working with change, solving complex problems, and creating individual and team learning.

business seminars UNDERSTANDING AND DEVELOPING YOUR UNIQUE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE NEW Organizational culture is a key factor in sustainable profitability and unmatched long-term performance for all successful companies.

However, if you can establish the conditions for collaboration to thrive, the synergy will benefit both the individuals and the organization. During this threeday seminar, learn when collaboration is beneficial and how to distinguish it from cooperation and other approaches to group work. You will have the opportunity to use your new skills by working through a project from start to finish in real time, and will leave with concrete methods and techniques for creating a collaborative team.

business seminars ART OF GIVING AND RECEIVING CRITICISM

BUILDING GREAT CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

BUILDING TRUST IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Has this ever happened to you? You tell a staff member that the work they just completed is not quite right, needs some changes or corrections, or that they need to do something they promised to you last week but still haven’t started. Their reaction is to make excuses, complain, or give you a long explanation of why they did it their way instead of the way they were asked to do it. One of the major reasons people do not improve their performance at work is because they don’t receive the right feedback in the right way at the right time. Anyone can tell a person that they made a mistake or were wrong. It takes a great deal of skill, however, to tell people that their work is not up to expectations — in such a way that the person remains motivated, corrects the errors, and works hard to improve.

Customer service staff play a critical role in building long-lasting relationships with customers. Whether it is face-to-face, on the phone, or via email; and, whether it is with internal or external customers, every interaction can make or break that relationship. Having a great product or service is no longer enough. Today’s customers expect outstanding service, and providing outstanding service can give your business a competitive edge. In this highly interactive oneday seminar, you will focus on many important aspects of customer service, and will have the opportunity to practise and refine skills through case studies, role play scenarios, and other experiential activities.

Trust is the foundation for establishing effective communication, for motivating staff, for keeping customers and clients, and for establishing credibility. Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM said: “The toughest thing about the power of trust is that it’s very difficult to build and very easy to destroy.” Today, increasing generational and cultural diversity in the workplace makes building and maintaining trust more difficult than it has ever been before.

business seminars CONFIDENCE IN COMMUNICATION

CONQUERING YOUR FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

Have you ever wished you had responded differently to a situation? Are there conversations to which you could have contributed, but held back? This one-day seminar will help you examine what has stopped you in the past, as well as how to find the confidence you need to speak up in a timely, appropriate way. It’s time to change the way you’ve communicated in the workplace or at home by building more confidence in conversations. It’s time to ask yourself if you are in charge of your world, or if your world is in charge of you. It’s time to change your mind, and tap into your unlimited strength.

Public speaking consistently ranks high on top ten lists of our most common fears, yet it is something many of us have to do in both our professional and personal lives. This seminar will provide you with a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for facing and conquering your fears, or growing the skills you already have. Learn the who, what, why, when, and how of public speaking as well as the importance of language, delivery and visual aids. Take advantage of this opportunity to test your public speaking skills by doing two in-class presentations and practising mindfulness and awareness techniques that will allow you to quell any lingering panic you might feel. You will take the first steps in moving past paralysis and into the pleasure that public speaking offers. Some homework between classes will be required.

business seminars CREATIVE NEGOTIATING Conflicts occur between management and labour, buyer and seller, between colleagues, and frequently, between managers in the same organization.

Managers and employees may compete for financial and human resources; they may be in conflict over the policies and goals of the organization; or who has the authority to make decisions. Negotiation is a method to resolve conflict to reach an agreement that benefits both sides while recognizing that each side will protect its own self-interest. In this seminar, you will be introduced to the Creative Negotiating approach and steps in the negotiating process.

Topics · Hard, soft and creative negotiating; What are the differences? · Principles of Creative Negotiating · Steps in the negotiating process · Clarifying interests, issues and positions · Measuring the outcomes of the negotiation · Power in the negotiating relationship · Alternatives to negotiating · Communication skills in negotiating · Dealing with your stakeholders COURSE: BUS 275 | 7 Hours | $355 + GST 004 | May 2 | M | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | DT Instructor: Nadine Ryan-Bannerman, MEd (Adult Education), ACC Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Personal Effectiveness

DEALING WITH THE DIFFICULT CONVERSATION

DO LESS AND ACHIEVE MORE: ZONE OF OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

The difficult conversation is stressful; it feels like an invisible minefield. It could be about telling someone that you are upset; giving bad news; or telling your manager, co-worker, or family member that they have done something that distresses you. The problem with these difficult conversations is that we spend more time worrying about them than engaging in them. Consequently, we either ‘blow it,’ put the conversations off too long, or avoid them altogether. This session presents ways to handle difficult discussions with skill and confidence.

Learn an assertive, yet respectful method for discussing concerns with others. This method works well for giving constructive feedback, getting your views heard in tense situations, and encouraging others to change behaviour. Practise the method in a friendly environment using sample situations or your own challenges.

Build awareness of success factors and bear-traps in difficult conversations, gain tools for engaging in difficult conversations and develop greater clarity about what not to say, as well as what to say and how to say it and learn how to change the behaviour of others by what you say and do.

Traditionally, the zone has been seen as the domain of athletes, artists, scientists, and high-level corporate achievers. Yet in today’s new era of creativity and innovation, every leader needs to be able to access his or her own zone of optimal performance and create environments for others to do the same. Competitive advantage comes from differentiation. It’s not only about what you do in the workplace but how you do it. When you’ve got that edge, you shine. And that shine comes from your ability to stay energized. Instead of multi-tasking and becoming drained, focus on the vital actions that really matter. Learn how to activate your inner intelligence so that everything you do becomes effortless and seamless.

Drawing on insights from brain and creativity research, sports psychology, and multi-media presentations, gain knowledge and tools for managing your mind, resources, and talents effectively to produce greater results in less time.

Research reveals that this state of flow is natural and leads to success. (This seminar is spaced to allow for one day to apply knowledge and techniques learned in the ‘zone lab.’)

business seminars EFFECTIVE WRITING IN THE WORKPLACE From daily email demands to reports and proposals, clear written communication is the common currency of the workplace. Invariably, this communication takes place within a frenetic, fast-paced environment.

Many in the workforce find their communication demands increasing exponentially yet have no in-house support. This workshop is designed to provide that support. In a friendly, relaxed workshop environment, you will practise your writing and editing skills, addressing key issues surrounding communication in the workplace.

Topics · How do I get started writing? · How can I speed up the writing process? · How can I become more flexible in the way I approach diverse writing challenges? · Do I really need to understand grammar to become a better writer at work? · How do I make my writing as concise and clear as possible? · How can I confidently ‘fix’ sentences that don’t convey the meaning I want them to convey? · How can I develop a written voice that is appropriate for a number of work-related situations? · Is there an easy way to know what punctuation would be appropriate in specific sentences? · What kinds of writing flaws should I be looking for when I proofread my writing and the written work of others?

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Emotional Intelligence (EI, EQ) is said to be two times more important than our intellectual intelligence (IQ) or technical competence. Time Magazine says: “IQ gets you hired but EQ gets you promoted.” The terms of reference about what constitutes personal and professional competence have changed. Today, we need to integrate intellectual and emotional intelligence to make positive things happen in our lives, our families, and our organizations or communities.

business seminars GOOD WRITING IS GOOD BUSINESS

IMPROVING COMMUNICATION AT WORK

INTEGRATIVE LISTENING: THE LEADER’S EDGE

Writing is a necessary skill in nearly every job. Most of us didn’t go to school to become writers, but we often spend 40 per cent of our work day writing email messages, reports and proposals. In this seminar, you will learn practical, easy-to-apply tips and tricks for effective business writing.

You will develop the skills required to write effectively: know your audience; define your purpose; deliver crisp, concise communication; and get results using various types of documents. You will be able to apply these techniques in everyday writing, whether you are writing email messages or complex technical reports.

What is your preferred communication style: get-to-the-point, fact based, analytical, or warm, chatty and personal? Do you prefer work conversations that are direct, deal with the main issue and move on? Or, do you prefer to warm up a bit first, establish rapport, and then move into the topic at hand? These and other communication traits can make communicating in the workplace a challenging task. Have you ever been in a meeting and found yourself wishing people would just get to the point?

Ever wish that some of your colleagues were more tactful and diplomatic?

Has your boss ever told you that you need to speak up and contribute more in meetings? Do you find that your colleague’s eyes glaze over when you are giving a report? Communication style can be as much a foreign language as any other spoken language. In this powerful one day course, using DiSC®, you will learn about communication styles most commonly used at work, identify your own preferred style, and discuss strategies and tips to understand and communicate more effectively with those whose styles are different than yours.

Listening is the cornerstone of effective communication, and is a core practice of leadership that helps us engage, encourage and lead people.

Integrative listening is more than active listening, and goes beyond hearing or rephrasing. The goal and the leader’s responsibility is to achieve and sustain integrity — defined literally as completeness — through skillful listening. It requires an outer or strategic leadership focus, which is about being able to listen in the context of the larger picture, other dynamics, desired results, productivity, and performance. This seminar is based on the premise that each and every encounter requires us to listen all over again with a clear and unencumbered focus. Learn to facilitate leadership through listening; to understand listening as a foundational leadership skill for engagement, empowerment, productivity and inspired accountability.

LEADING TO ENGAGE EMPLOYEES When employees find meaning in their work, they are more likely to feel satisfied and engaged. For the organization, this translates into greater employee effectiveness and productivity. When staff are happy, they are team oriented, less likely to move on, and more likely to act in the best interests of the organization. In contrast, when employees do not feel a sense of meaning or engagement in their work, a multitude of problems can occur. The resulting poor attitudes, negative behaviours, and absenteeism can be detrimental to an organization’s morale, culture, performance and revenue. This seminar is intended for leaders wishing to learn and implement effective strategies of organizational psychology to foster positive employee attitudes and behaviours, increase employee performance, motivation, productivity, and generally improve employee engagement and job satisfaction levels.

Topics · Introduction to organizational psychology · Employee attitudes and behaviours · Leadership behaviours that contribute to employee engagement, job satisfaction, effective team work, work motivation, and productivity · Aspects of group dynamics and how to develop strategies to enhance team work, motivation, and team performance · Strategies for addressing workplace issues and challenges related to organizational behaviour COURSE: BUS 278 | 7 Hours | $355 + GST 002 | Apr 11 | M | 8:30 am - 4:30 pm | Main Instructor: Angela Ripley, MEd Certificate for Emerging Leaders topic area: Building Relationships

LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSION AND INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS

LEVERAGING GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES AT WORK

It’s been said that life is one long sales call. What do you think of that analogy? There is likely some merit to that statement and here’s why! A great portion of your day is likely spent influencing others to do what you want them to do, see events as you see them, and ultimately support your idea, product or service. Whatever your goals, the results you achieve in advancing your success starts with you — with how you present yourself and establish your credibility both personally and professionally.

Regardless of our professions, industry or business, we live and work in competitive environments. Knowing how to distinguish you — as well as your ideas, products, services and approach — from others will give you a competitive edge. Your ability to make your offerings memorable, and have them connect with your clients’ needs, wants and nice-to-have’s, will make your work less stressful, more collaborative, productive and fun. In this workshop discover processes you can apply to brand your uniqueness in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

In today’s generationally diverse workplaces, generational differences can be a source of conflict or greater creativity and productivity.

This one-day seminar provides an overview of the four generational groups, discusses differences and similarities, and explores the workplace expectations of each generation.

NAVIGATING THROUGH ETHICAL DECISIONS

NEGOTIATING SKILLS FOR WOMEN

We can probably all think of an example of when an accomplished leader made a bad decision that had an impact on a company’s employees, clients and the general public. Chances are, had that leader stopped to evaluate ethics, he or she may have made a different choice.

In this seminar, learn about the territory of ethics and the many choices available to you when navigating through potentially challenging ethical decisions.

In addition to reviewing the foundations of ethics, you will learn how to test if you are facing an ethical decision. Also, be guided through a process for making ethical decisions, and discover ways to help others make good choices.

We all negotiate in our lives, everyday.

We negotiate at work, home, school, and even in our volunteer settings.

Recent research into negotiating styles and gender has revealed that while women may be more inclined to negotiate and collaborate, they may be at a disadvantage in some negotiating situations. Learn about the different expectations and outcomes achieved by women negotiating, compared to men, and a combination of planning and techniques that can help you achieve better outcomes. Explore an effective approach that is neither too hard, nor too soft, and creative ways to search for the best outcomes achievable for both sides. You don’t have to be a born negotiator to achieve beneficial results in negotiating. There are skills and techniques that can be learned and applied in many situations to improve your outcomes.

POWER AND SCIENCE OF COACHING

STRENGTHENING YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS

STRESS LESS: MANAGING WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND

Organizations are steered by leaders who understand how to mobilize others onto a common ground of performance and alignment. Yet, a business philosophy of doing more with less, often leaves little time in the day to lead. Hone your leadership approach through this seminar, which has been designed to provide the essential leadership skills for having a measurable impact on the performance and commitment of others. You will complete the pre-course feedback instrument, Footprint®, which offers you the opportunity to receive confidential feedback from direct reports and peers on your leadership effectiveness, with your results integrated into the seminar’s concepts throughout the two days.

Do you have headaches, or tight neck and shoulders? Do you feel anxious, irritable and frustrated at home or at work? Do you use caffeine and other habits to cope with everyday demands?

Are you lashing out at others, or conversely, withdrawing from your life? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, or would like to prevent these and other threats to your wellness, you will benefit from this session. Thriving in uncertain and demanding times takes a concentrated effort. You must learn how to control stress. Managing stress is no longer a soft skill. It is critical to your optimal performance at home or in the office.

business seminars SUCCESSFUL TEAMS: HOW TO BUILD THEM

TEAM SURVIVAL SKILLS: TAKE IT OUTSIDE!

Why do some teams seem to naturally work well together and others require more effort? What can a leader do to build and maintain a strong team?

The leader’s challenge begins with recognizing the diversity within a team and inspiring all members toward a common cause. Even with a highly functional team, it is important for you to determine what is working and what is not. In this seminar, discuss how to identify common issues. Then, refine your skills to address these issues.

Learn key elements of a strong and successful team, and discover how to apply principles to enhance these elements in your own team situation.

Grab your coat and hat, let’s go outside!

This seminar invites you to challenge your leadership capacity while participating in activities in an outdoor setting. By experimenting, taking risks and having in fun in a facilitated, safe and experiential learning environment, metaphors for workplace dynamics are created, offering immediate feedback loops, opportunities for self-reflection, and potential for increasing self-awareness of leadership patterns and dynamics. Building understanding of your leadership style, the styles of others, and how they best interact increases your capacity for effective self-leadership in response to the daily challenges faced while working in groups, both at home and in the workplace.

THE DECISIVE LEADER NEW Making decisions is one of the main functions of a leader, and the quality of those decisions is one of the primary ways a leader’s effectiveness is judged.

It is common for leaders to panic and either rush into a poor decision or become paralyzed and not make one at all. The Question, Factors, Options, Planning (QFOP®) model for decision making is simple to use and provides a framework to make better decisions. Learn how to use the model by working through examples, then discuss how to communicate decisions to your supervisor or team.

Both deliberate and rapid decisions will be covered, as well as how to ensure lessons are incorporated from previous similar decisions. As a leader — give yourself the best possible chance to make decisions that are as good as they can be.

Topics · An introduction to decision making · Differences between good and bad decisions · Question, Factors, Options, Decision (QFOD) model for decision-making · Quick decision-making model · Case study and live example · Presenting your decisions to others · After action review process — how to make an even better decision next time

An Associate Certificate in Workplace Conflict is also available. For information go to page 118.

ART OF REFRAMING (CCR 208) Learn how to identify problematic conflict frames wherever and whenever they occur, and practise providing reframing that leads toward resolution.

More than merely changing language, reframing can shift the entire perception of an approach to the conflict. As one of the most powerful tools available, reframing can be used effectively in every phase of conflict discussion, from building an atmosphere to identifying issues, exploring interests and reaching agreement.

courses CONFLICT DYNAMICS IN GROUPS (CCR 210)

DEFINING ISSUES AND SETTING THE AGENDA (CCR 201)

Conflict in a team situation is challenging and team members need strategies for positive resolutions. As an effective team member, you need to identify the dynamics at play in the team, and learn and practise strategies for intervening to move the group towards resolution. Through role-play, case analysis and discussion, you will build your understanding of group role functions and problematic behaviours that interfere with the function of the team. You will practise a collaborative conflict resolution process.

Now expanded to include negotiation as well as mediation, this elective focuses on Stage 2 of the model. Using a variety of video, demonstration and in-themoment examples, you will learn how to sift through the dynamics, the emotion and the way people express themselves in order to clearly isolate issues that should form the agenda. You will learn how to ask the kinds of questions that clarify themes and issues, how to summarize to provide focus and how to get agreement on the agenda. You will have lots of opportunity to practise.

ERGONOMICS

A key aspect of any occupational health and safety program is the proper identification of any hazards that exist at the workplace, and the associated risk of injury or illness if a worker is exposed to the hazard.

In this introductory course, you will learn the reasons why proper hazard identification is an important contributor to a successful occupational health and safety program, as well as practical tools to conduct workplace hazard assessments. The relationship between common hazards and risk of common occupational injuries, such as work-related back injuries or electrical burns, and illnesses, such as occupational cancers, will be explored in detail using practical examples.

Ergonomics is the science that addresses human performance and well-being in relation to the tasks that are being completed, the equipment used, and the environment in which work is being completed. In this introductory ergonomics course, you will learn about the prevention of occupational illness and injury by making changes to the design of work and workplaces.

You will explore some of the most famous, and infamous, American Cold Warriors and their impact on the Cold War. John F. Kennedy is a beloved figure in American popular culture, yet most historians rate him an average-at-best president. Why? Richard Nixon was nearly assassinated over a decade before he became president, in an event that almost led to an American invasion of Venezuela.

What happened? Did you know that despite spearheading some very progressive initiatives Lyndon Johnson was known to sexually harass staff and reporters? Other topics include; the intricacies of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Nitze vs. Kennan, the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower.

ANATOMY OF DEATH IN THE ROMAN WORLD: SKIN AND BONES NEW Roman paintings, mosaics, and sculptures depict the human form in dramatic and beautiful ways. But what about the not-so-ideal representations of the human body, such as skeletons?

Examples of these exist and, like their athletic, heroic counterparts, present correct anatomical features. Many scholars believe skeletal anatomy was incorrectly depicted by the ancient Romans, but direct comparisons dispute this. So, why did Roman artists depict the body in grotesque or non-ideal ways while maintaining accurate anatomy?

Discover the answers, including links to the ancient concept of memento mori, which means “remember you will die,” a theme found throughout the ancient world and prevalent in the Middle Ages.

A course highlight is a field trip to the Special Procedures Anatomy Lab at the Foothills Campus where we will examine medical cadavers.

CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS: DECODING SACRED SYMBOLISM Examine hidden symbols and complex layers of meaning in the structures and details of some of the world’s most beautiful buildings.

What do the carved figures in the portal represent? Why are there four beasts in the corners of the ceiling? Topics include: a brief history of the Medieval Period; history of church buildings; architectural elements; major cathedrals in Europe; the Bible, Jesus, Mary, saints and prophets; and, sacred geometry, colours and numbers.

courses MYSTICS, MARTYRS, AND MADMEN: HISTORY OF THE CRUSADES NEW Almost 1,000 years ago, Christian knights from Europe poured into the Holy Land and attacked Jerusalem. Why did they travel over 3,000 km to invade the most sacred city in Christendom?

The struggle to reconquer the Holy Sepulchre would continue for more than a century. During this time, the mystic Knights Templar were formed, an order that eventually stood trial for witchcraft, heresy, and blasphemy when the Templars were accused of colluding with their Muslim enemies. Legends sprang up about relics from Jerusalem such as the Spear of Longinus, which was said to have pierced the side of Christ and drove at least one man to madness and voluntary martyrdom by fire. Topics include the causes and origins of the conflict, as well as the exchange of knowledge created by the intersection of cultures in the Holy Land. While the Crusades ultimately ended in failure, the political and religious ideals which prompted these events continue to fascinate scholars and history buffs alike.

Using words as tools, make the reader sit up and take notice so you can first communicate with, and then persuade and motivate, them. Then, acquire a foundation in the copywriting process, marketing strategies, and the principles of persuasion. Learn to write dynamic advertisements and sales and marketing brochures for products and services. Get feedback as you learn to write influential sales and marketing brochures, letters and other documents.

You will have the opportunity to hone your writing and editing skills through writing, discussion with peers, and 10 hours of mentorship with a published author. You will provide a pre-course submission within your chosen genre.

The work in progress will be a minimum of 10-15 pages and will also include a learning agreement describing the project and the direction of the work.

The submission must be received at least one month prior to the course start date. You will enhance your skills and understanding of the writer’s craft specific to genre, and produce a small manuscript of approximately 40-50 pages maximum length.

Learn and apply established methods of planning, writing and revising proposals. You will be provided an opportunity to work on case-study exercises or, if you prefer, actual proposals from your workplace. In either case, the completed proposals will be evaluated as part of the course mark. Practise developing both sales and funding proposals. Also discuss types of proposals, uncovering needs, and finding funding sources (grants).

WRITING TOOLS

Poetry has the capacity to remake and translate the things of the world into new ways of thinking about them. We have been drawn to poetry since before the written language. You will explore a toolbox of poetic techniques and how to locate, write and edit your own work.

We will examine closely how simile and metaphor, classical forms, rhythm and rhyme operate in the design of poetry, as well as contemporary Spoken Word.

Use some of the most common software application features to prepare your written work. First, learn how to get organized using tools including OneNote and Evernote, then look at presenting your written work in applications such as MS Word, PowerPoint, FrameMaker or InDesign.

You will practise adding more visual detail to your documents using Visio and converting documents to Adobe Acrobat’s .pdf format for review and publishing. Finally, understand the meaning of file extensions (tiff, .jpg, gif, .eps, .wmf) and image resolution so you can communicate more confidently in your work. No software other than the MS Office suite is required. Free trial versions of other software may be required and will be advised by the instructor.

GRADING

LADDERING TO A DEGREE

It is possible to use some certificate programs as a stepping stone towards an undergraduate degree if you can meet the faculty’s entrance requirements for undergraduate students.

I n the Certificate for Emerging Leaders, student learning is assessed through the evaluation of a summary paper that is submitted following completion of the required number of instructional hours.

In the Office Applications Certificate, student learning is assessed through examinations completed at the end of each course in the program of study.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS Certificate requirements shown in this publication or at conted.ucalgary.ca are the requirements that a new student must follow to graduate.

For you to successfully complete a certificate program, you must meet the requirements that are ‘locked in’ and noted on your student record when you are admitted to the program. Once you have been admitted — to be sure you are always choosing courses that can be credited toward your certificate — it is best to view the requirements outlined on your personal record at My ContEd.

BALI AND SINGAPORE Bali is an island paradise known for its unparalleled natural beauty: beaches, reefs, waterfalls, tropical forests and mountains. Part of the Indonesian Archipelago, it is also known for the arts — traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting and music. On our visit to Bali, we will trek and climb to view beautiful waterfalls, hike into the jungle to explore a monkey habitat, attend world-class performances, visit ancient temples and, of course, catch a few rays of sunshine on gorgeous beaches. We will savour the richness of Balinese cuisine — a bounty of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and fish laced with an abundance of spices.

We then shift to Singapore, the spotless city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. One of the world’s largest

commercial centres, Singapore is also a lush oasis. We will cruise the Singapore River, explore colourful gardens and delve into its history. Along the way we will discover why Singaporean chefs consistently bring home top awards from international culinary events. Their meticulous technique combined with the colour and flavour of Singaporean ingredients and the influence of Malaysia and China create beautiful — and amazingly tasty — dishes. Prepare for two weeks of paradise in Bali and Singapore.

THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN WORDS AND WALKS A century after the War to End All Wars — World War One (1914-1918) — what remains? How can we better understand these events, which continue to shape our own world? One way is to enter the landscapes of England, Belgium and France to experience the physical remains of those events; to stand at the edge of a mine crater, to look up at the ridge near Vimy that Canadians assaulted in 1917, or to walk the trenches which still exist there.

Another way is to hear the words of the men and women who tried to capture what the war meant for them, in memoires, poetry and fiction. This travel study brings together both of these approaches to truly understand what was. Through visits to sites and museums, we will come into direct contact with the everyday objects and the places experienced by combattants.

We will also explore some of the most important and evocative writing of wartime experiences.

travel study THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST: SPIRIT BEARS, GRIZZLIES AND ANCIENT FORESTS The temperate rainforests are among the richest habitats on Earth; supporting more life than their tropical counterparts. The largest expanse of these ancient forests stretches along the verdant coastline of British Columbia. Migrating salmon and hungry coastal bears go together like popcorn and the movies, and the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the world’s best places to witness this primordial drama.

British Columbia, with roughly 150,000 black bears and 15,000 grizzly bears shuffling through its forested wild lands, is home to the largest combined population of these two bears in the world. Here, in the cool, shadowed woodlands of the coast, you can also find a rare white subspecies of the American black bear. Scientists call this enigmatic ursine carnivore the Kermode bear, but First Nations people know it as the ‘spirit bear.’ Our quest on this trip will be to experience the rich biological diversity of an overlooked corner of Canada, while at the same time experiencing exciting bear-viewing, bald eagles and gulls squabbling for leftovers, and the fragrance and spectacle of 90-metre-tall Sitka spruces and 1000-year-old western red cedars.

MOUNTAIN MOOSE AND AUTUMN COLOUR In September, the air is refreshingly crisp and the aspen forests of the foothills of the Rockies are ablaze with golden foliage. This is the season of the moose when 400-kilogram bulls challenge each other for the right to breed. Every year, in the front range of the mountains, less than 200 kilometres from Calgary, moose gather in frost-encrusted meadows to reenact this primordial spectacle. As well, roadside grizzlies and black bears are fattening for hibernation, bighorn sheep are sleek and winterready, and bull trout are spawning.

For naturalist Wayne Lynch, the moose is the most impressive animal in the Rocky Mountains. It is the

BRITISH COLUMBIA

largest member of the deer family but surprisingly difficult to glimpse let alone to observe intimate courtship behaviour. In mid-September, in the open meadows of Spray Valley, Peter Lougheed, and Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Parks, it’s possible to watch moose on many mornings materialize out of the mist. There are huge bulls with racks spanning two metres and weighing 27 kilograms, cows in heat, juveniles and calves all sloshing together in the mud and willows. At times, as many as a dozen moose may gather at the same location. Add to this exciting scene the blush of a golden sunrise as it paints the surrounding peaks and you have a wildlife spectacle not to be forgotten. Accommodation throughout will be at the Mount Engadine Lodge.

travel study Easter Island Extension No other island in the Pacific has generated the historical excitement, ecological speculation and strong tourism interest of Easter Island. The island’s iconic stone heads, averaging four metres in height and 12 tonnes in weight, are recognized the world over. The story of how ancient Polynesians colonized this isolated speck of land, thrived, and then succumbed to environment collapse offers a fascinating glimpse at humanity and a poignant travel experience. It’s little wonder that Easter Island is frequently listed by travel magazines as one of the ‘must-see’ destinations in the world.

Supporting the vast bulk of South America is a great wedge of continent called Patagonia. Here, at the southern tip of Argentina and Chile, giant waves, born on the shores of Antarctica, assault wild rocky beaches. Clusters of black and white penguins pitch and porpoise in the roiling surf and then shuffle ashore. Here also, great tracts of grasslands, brightened with colourful patches of wildflowers, sweep beneath immense cerulean skies and nurture exotic creatures with exotic names such as gauanaco, rhea, tinamou, huemul and mara. And above it all rise the chiselled flanks of the mighty Andes and the windswept wings of the largest flying creature on earth, the magnificent Andean condor. One of the great scenic spectacles in Patagonia is Fitz Roy Massif, in Parque National Los Glaciares in southern Argentina. Seeing that cluster of peaks for the first time, most people are deeply impressed by their raw jaggedness and the steepness of their granite flanks. The indigenous people called Fitzroy “ the smoking mountain” because of the mantle of cloud that often enshrouds its summit.

HARP SEAL HELICOPTER ADVENTURE In the world of nature, no animal exemplifies cuteness more than a newborn harp seal pup. Its large black eyes, curious unwary nature, and spotless white fur make it a universal symbol for innocence and vulnerability and since the 1970s, a magnet for Eco tourists. Each year, for two to three weeks, the sea ice near Quebec’s Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is home to hundreds of thousands of pregnant harp seals that come to the area, each to give birth and nurse their single

TANZANIA AND THE SERENGETI PLAINS The Serengeti ecosystem is arguably one of the greatest wildlife areas in the world. Here, in an annual spectacle unmatched on the planet, 1.5 million wildebeests, 200,000 plains zebras and 250, 000 Thomson’s gazelles drift back and forth across the African savannah in search of the vital green flush of grass that follows the seasonal rains.

In February each year, these life-giving rains transform the southern Serengeti in Tanzania into verdant grassland and the great herds gather there to give birth to a new generation. In the short span of a few weeks, half a million wobbly wildebeest calves struggle to gain their balance in the tenuous first minutes of life. We will be there to witness this breath-taking natural wonder.

extraordinary setting, it feels as if little has changed since humankind’s distant ancestors strode across a fresh field of volcanic ash leaving us a fossilized signature of their passage. When you travel these wild African plains you discover a state of being where glorious nature can rejuvenate and inspire the hungriest of human souls.
