This conversation will be led by Steve Ruder, a community services supervisor at the UC Davis MIND Institute. There will be information and resources, but also opportunities to ask questions and converse in a safe environment. 

Ruder assists families and people with disabilities who have questions regarding high school transition, adult services, and employment. He is the facilitator for the Northern California Business Advisory Council. He also assists families with questions regarding supported decision-making before considering conservatorship. Please contact him at sruder@ucdavis.edu to schedule an appointment.

Rev-Up Your Virtual Leadership – Rev up the change!
Dec. 15, 2021
11 a.m. – 12 p.m. PST
Click here to learn more and register.

For 2021, the Extension Foundation's Impact Collaborative program is hosting a series available to member institutions. This is for Cooperative Extension professionals leading five or more peers.

Last year we all pivoted quickly as we redefined how to accomplish our work almost exclusively in shared virtual spaces. The topics in this series are a result of our work with individuals and teams from across Cooperative Extension wondering: What does effective leadership look like when we no longer have the ability to put a hand on a shoulder? How do we reduce friction, confusion and underperformance for individuals, teams and organizations?

We're all experiencing change at a pace humans have never experienced before. This can lead to confusion when it seems like the “transition” phase never ends. Learn to help everyone navigate the chaos together!

How To Build a Fearless Organization (Harvard Business School – Working Knowledge)
By Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management
Click here to read more.

“Psychological safety at work takes effort. It's not the norm. But it's worth the effort,” says Professor Amy Edmondson. She explains how and why a culture of open candor — and the willingness and courage to speak up — is a strategic asset and can be developed in companies of all sizes, in her new book The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth.

“These are not things that happen routinely in most organizations, but they are mission critical to doing well in a complex, fast changing world,” she says. In our Q&A we asked her guidance for managers and leaders. Click here to read more.

The impact of attitude on life
By Charles Swindoll

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so, it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

Negotiation Skills (LinkedIn Learning)
Course link.

Negotiation skills aren't just important for the sales professionals among us. With a little practice, anyone can learn the simple rules of negotiation to get a great deal on a new car or house or achieve greater success at work by getting better deals with suppliers, customers and even colleagues. In this course, master negotiator Chris Croft walks through all the phases of a negotiation, from deciding to negotiate to closing. Chris discusses how to plan your negotiation and calculate your opening offer. Plus, he takes you through a series of specific negotiation tactics, demonstrates how to come to a win-win situation through the use of trading, and goes into how to close the deal.

Excel 2021 Essential Training
Course link.

Excel, the popular spreadsheet program from Microsoft, is an essential tool for many professional roles. In this course, Jess Stratton shows you the ins and outs of the 2021 release. Jess begins with how to navigate Excel and how to create, open and save a file. Next, she shows you how to enter, format, autofill and edit text, as well as how to copy and delete cell data, merge cells and more. Jess explains how to work with sheets, then dives into the myriad adjustments and customizations you can apply to rows and columns. Formulas are at the heart of Excel's ability to perform text or number calculations, so Jess concludes by walking you through formulas and functions, including AutoSum and the very useful XLOOKUP.

Leadership - It's All About Everyone (Connect Extension)

By Scott Reed, Vice Provost Emeritus, Outreach and Engagement, Oregon State University
Click here to read more.

Essayist William Gibson recently reminded us, “The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet.” The same sentiment is reflected by the Institute for the Future in discussions of leadership in a world characterized by explosive connectivity and disruption and describes literacies for leading in a “VUCA” world: Volatile/Uncertain/Complex/Ambiguous. The institute further observes that in the next 10 years, leadership will be more distributed and that rock star leaders will be rarer.
