Workshops Supervisory Series: Fall Workshops Emotional Intelligence Presented by Stacy Alldredge Emotional intelligence is the “other kind of smart.” It affects how we manage behavior, navigate social interactions and make personal decisions to achieve positive results. These skills also shape how an individual responds to, and works, communicates and interacts with other people. Your ability to improve in the emotional-intelligence arena will ultimately improve your connections with others. Learning objectives Understand what emotional intelligence is and how — when practiced consciously — it can improve relationships and personal success Understand the four domains of emotional intelligence: Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 Presented by Jack Klemeyer Twenty-five years ago, leadership authority John Maxwell published a book that forever transformed how we think about leadership.

Spring Series Workshops Postindustrial Leadership This workshop will be presented by Dr. Matthew Chodkowski, Founding Director of the Institute for Postindustrial Leadership at the University of Indianapolis. More details coming soon! Leading Inclusively This workshop will be presented by Amber Smith, Vice President for Inclusion and Equity at the University of Indianapolis. As our world has become more in-tune with the complexities of identity and culture, organizations are looking for inclusive leaders to engage fearlessly in vulnerable and honest conversations. How can we create institutions that respect, uplift, and engage its members in critical thought, respectful dialogue, and productive conversation? The Intercultural Development Inventory is a cultural assessment that provides participants with a deeper understanding of their own cultural perspectives and teaches them ways to adapt and adjust their cultural perspectives to include those similar and different than their own. The Sease Supervisory Series presents an inclusive leadership seminar geared toward defining and refining your intercultural competence. After taking the Intercultural Development Inventory, participants will engage in personal and group reflection and conversation around receiving feedback and how intercultural competence helps or hinders your leadership, after which participants can expect to analyze real time scenarios around leading inclusively.
