Subject: Free Mitacs Step workshops at U of Manitoba
Importance: High

Good afternoon Martin,

Hope all is well.

Our Step team has asked me to share this info about two upcoming workshops that are happening here at U of M.   These workshops, as with all Mitacs Step workshops, are free for both graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (however, the preauthorization of a valid credit card is required as part of the registration process).   I really appreciate it if you kindly share these with Agriculture students/postdocs and encourage them to register ASAP, as space is limited and they’ll fill up fairly quickly.

The two workshops are:

· Discovering the Entrenpreneur Within – March 16, 2017

Discovering the Entrepreneur Within has participants analyze successful entrepreneurial ventures and identify what it took for those entrepreneurs to reach their goals. Using an interactive, team-based approach, this full-day workshop builds awareness of the current Canadian entrepreneurial landscape and resources available to those looking to start their own business.

· Essentials of Productive Teams – March 20, 2017

More than ever, organizational success depends on people working together - effectively. The pressure to communicate productively, quickly turn ideas into profitable action and consistently deliver results never decreases. Using team simulation exercises, participants work from a clear understanding of personal strengths and an appreciation of the differences in others will be the foundation of success in the future.
