Gain new insights with bite-sized excerpts from Simpson degree and certificate programs. Taught by Simpson faculty, each 1-hour course focuses on an essential skill or foundational element of adaptive and resilient leadership. The workshops explore trauma and resilience, data analysis, and project management. Register today for the next event on November 13th!

TRAUMA AND RESILIENCE: Recognition and Self-Care Strategies
Our world is complex and trauma exists. It affects how people show up and how we lead. Build strength as a leader by being able to recognize trauma, become aware of how trauma affects behavior, and gain self-care strategies.

DATA ANALYSIS: Influence Through Data Storytelling
One of the most challenging aspects of leadership is being able to make the case for a project or idea. Learn how to analyze data and create clear, effective visualizations to help stakeholders feel confident in the direction you propose.

MANAGEMENT: Fundamentals of Effective Project Management
Guiding a project from start to finish can be daunting. Develop an understanding of how to build and balance a project scope, detail a timeline, and anticipate project costs. Having the basics of project management will set you up for success as a leader.

The delightfully dark and wildly entertaining musical Little Shop of Horrors blends doo-wop, Motown, and rock-and-roll to tell the quirky tale of Seymour, a meek floral assistant who discovers a strange plant with a secret thirst for human blood. As the plant grows, so does Seymour’s fame–but at a horrifying cost. With catchy songs, eccentric characters, and a touch of horror-comedy, Little Shop of Horrors has become a beloved staple of American musical theatre.

With just a handful of key concepts, Changemakers can enable change in an organization in a way that protects business interests, empowers people, and simplifies the process. Join us in this session to learn more.

Changemakers are the individuals who put the good of the organization first, make authentic human connection, and consistently treat change as a process, not an event. They make things happen.

More often than not, though, Changemakers get stuck. There’s not enough budget. Our projects keep falling behind. We rarely stick to a change when we propose one. Someone is always upset about an initiative. Is there a better way? Yes!

This jam packed and engaging session will give you the tools and techniques for a better way…

  • For change
  • To get more done
  • To bring people along

By attending this course, participants will:

  • Gain tools to help you improve your influence
  • Encounter a simple, easy-to-apply model for talking about one of the most disruptive forces at work
  • Enable you to identify and empower changemakers around you
