Thriving in the Midst of Turbulent Times
Dr. Barbara Kaufman 

The latest buzzword for our over-extended work lives is 'partial attention deficiency.'  Dr. Kaufman will explore this symptom, among  others,  that often keeps us focused on surviving rather than thriving.  She will facilitate exercises that identify behaviors we need  to unlearn in order to develop strategies to increase our leadership resiliency.

Maintaining Dialogue through Turbulent Times
Dr. Jolene Koester 

In the higher education environment, where change is pervasive and often turbulent, effective leadership recognizes the centrality of dialogue and civility for keeping the focus through uncertain times. Effective leaders, especially during times of change, establish clear priorities; set and maintain a positive tone; establish a culture of civility, respect and dialogue; and communicate, communicate, communicate.
