The Non-Instructional Academic Staff subcommittee is sponsoring its annual Academic Staff Learning Breaks workshop for UWM faculty, staff and employees from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 10 in Northwest Quad Room G570.
Patricia Clason from the Center for Creative Learning will present from her Successful Living Seminars “When Your Word Becomes Law.”
Workshop description:
Many of the angers and frustrations that we experience in our lives are a result of broken agreements, unmet expectations and failure to get what we want. One of the main reasons this happens is that we don’t hold ourselves or others accountable. When someone does not do what they said they would, or only does a mediocre job, our expectations are not met and we feel angry, disappointed or cheated. Trust levels decline and satisfaction disappears.
Through lecture and group interaction, participants will discover the reasons why people don’t want to be accountable and how to handle those situations in a way that empowers everyone involved. We’ll also look at why we don’t want to be held accountable, how that perpetuates situations that don’t work and how to make changes for ourselves so we can feel good and be accountable.
