This course teaches leaders an approach for making decisions when speed is important, they have sufficient information and resources, and the risks are reasonable. They also learn how to identify their own and others’ decision-making tendencies and understand how to balance them in situations requiring accelerated decisions. Leaders will learn that they can also leverage intuition, when it’s based on experience, to make sound business decisions in less time. Addressing Poor Performance Building and Sustaining Trust Many leaders struggle with employees who exhibit poor performance or work habits despite repeated coaching. This course builds leaders‘ skill and confidence in handling chronic performance problems.

Leaders also learn how to gather and use data to provide effective feedback and how to balance seeking and telling to gain commitment for improvement. Leaders practice conducting performance improvement discussions. What does trust have to do with business success? Everything. Trust is directly linked to employee engagement, retention, productivity and innovation.

The outcome is a meaningful development plan that supports the current and future business needs of the organization. This course helps leaders to conduct the types of ongoing discussions needed to ensure that the organization retains key players— regardless of whether these key players are satisfied and motivated or have one foot out the door.

Survey after survey confirms that people are working longer and harder at jobs that are more complex and have a wider range of responsibilities. At the same time, the way people work and communicate with one another is changing, creating added stress and complexity. The homogenous, single-function, co-located group is being replaced by dispersed, cross-functional teams with diverse areas of expertise. An unfortunate but natural by-product of these challenges is conflict. While conflict can lead to discoveries such as new ideas and innovative breakthroughs, it can, if allowed to escalate, result in damage to critical working relationships. This course teaches leaders how to recognize the signs of escalating conflict and take appropriate action to minimize damage. Leaders are introduced to two resolution tactics — coach and mediate — and practice using the Interaction Essentials as they coach an associate to resolve a conflict.

JCCC Continuing Education > Business Skills Development Setting Goals and Reviewing Results People are more engaged and strive for better results when they feel ownership of their work in both the process and the outcomes. Unfortunately, leaders fail to engage and reinforce this sense of ownership in performance management discussions. This course will show the positive effect of shifting the traditional role of planner and evaluator from the leader to a shared responsibility between leader and employee. This shift builds ownership with the employee and frees up time for leaders to focus on coaching and developing throughout the performance cycle. Leaders will experience how to use effective (SMART) goals to help them and their employees track progress and fairly evaluate outcomes. A well-written performance plan is also a powerful tool for leaders to use when determining where to focus their development and coaching discussions with their employees.

JCCC Continuing Education > Careers and Trades Motivational Interviewing: Moving Beyond Resistance A Practical Guide for Improving Brain Fitness Spanish for Nurses Caring for Latinos Ambivalence about change seems to be part of the human condition as it is often easier said than done. Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic approach designed to respond effectively and respectfully to the realities of patient resistance. In this workshop you will learn about this directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping patients to explore and resolve ambivalence. Motivational Interviewing is frequently used for addressing problems such as alcohol and substance abuse, smoking cessation, and damaging health habits, but it can be readily applied to any situation in which the patient has both desire and apprehension about working to change. Each of us generally knows what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle, but we are less informed as to the practical specifics of brain health. The two are, however, interdependent. In this course you will learn how the daily choices we make influence the actual structure and health of our brains. You will learn to differentiate mental activity and mental challenge and identify obstacles to establishing priorities and how to create plans for improved brain and body fitness. This course is designed to teach Spanish that can be used immediately in day-to-day communication with patients. Pronunciation, work-specific language, phonetic encoding and listening activities are part of each lesson. This is a customized real-life Spanish program designed to prepare the non-Spanish speaking nurse to better interact with and care for Spanish-speaking patients.

In this program you will learn and become familiar with common skin disorders and diseases in childhood. Discussions will focus on etiologies, epidemiology, prevention and treatment.

The LGBTQIA community, despite significant gains, continues to exist as an oppressed demographic and receives inferior outreach and assistance from providers, particularly in nonmetropolitan communities.

Bring your questions, experiences and insights to engage alongside other professionals committed to providing the best service possible to clients from all walks of life. Making changes may seem easy in theory, but we all know that it is almost always difficult in real life. It can be very frustrating when the benefits of change are very clear to both us and our clients, but effort and progress quickly fades away.
