LOD workshops and sessions are fully funded by Human Resources and are offered exclusively to UManitoba employees.
Some workshops that may interest you include:
Critical Dialogues: Wednesday, May 21, 1:00 to 4:00pm: Communicating with clarity and using our verbal skills to share, exchange and invite dialogue with others are critical workplace skills for many roles in our community. If you work as part of a team, support others' work, explain or share information, this workshop may be helpful for you to learn more about how to have successful conversations.
Presentation Skills: Wednesday, June 4, 1:00 to 4:00pm: Knowing how to prepare, to use our voice, and how to organize our materials can help us to engage our audience and share our message. This workshop will provide you with tools to help you to prepare your presentations, use your V.O.I.C.E. and review the use of the most common visual aids.
Taking Minutes for Meetings: ONLINE, Wednesday, June 11, 9:00 am to noon: Minutes of meetings form an important record of the decisions made by our community. Meeting minutes often include a summary of work that has been completed and also the action items that relate to the commitment of a committee or group's intentions to take certain steps. With the importance placed on documenting these items, it is vital that minutes are clear, concise and accurate.
Project Management, Thursday, June 26, 9:00 am to 4:00pm: Learn how to plan your next project using a simple and structured step-by-step process. This workshop introduces you to general project management processes, techniques, and vocabulary. Participants will leave with an understanding of the project management process from start to finish and able to contribute to the implementation of large projects and to lead small projects effectively.
New Support Staff Orientation, Thursday, May 22 OR Thursday June 19, 9:00 am to 4:00pm. If you are a new support staff employee, or have hired a new support staff employee, there will be two Orientation sessions held this spring. Additional offerings will be held, in person and online, in the fall.
