Additional One-Day Courses
Just Stop: Zen, Stress, Anxiety and Uncertainty
This course draws on the field of cultural anthropology as well as insights from Japanese Zen to think about how to deal with and embrace the problem of uncertainty in our lives and work.
The aim of this course is for participants to come away with new ideas about how to address and manage stress and anxiety that arise in work and daily life, as well as to become more comfortable with the idea that uncertainty is a central part of human experience.
Maximizing Mental Agility
The course focuses on six areas of thinking that provide easy-to-learn strategies rooted in Cognitive Science that will help people to be more productive, efficient, creative, motivated, and satisfied in their working lives, and beyond.
Leading Change Up and Down the Org Chart
By exploring attitudes, learning some theory, discussing case studies, writing about change in their own organizations, and role-playing, participants will
- Become more aware of their own approach to change;
- Better understand the sources of resistance to change;
- Learn and practice strategies for framing changes to stakeholders, including peers, subordinates, and managers;
- Learn strategies for managing change over time.
Dr. Richmond-Garza was highly engaging and able to transmit an incredible amount of material to us in only a day’s time. The organization of the material and use of theater techniques was very interesting and useful. This seminar will enable me to pursue a more cognizant and consistent approach to understanding motivation.
I’ve been in Executive Management for over 20 years. The courses I took in the HDO program helped me to gain a fresh perspective on management; specifically, on how people work. I highly recommend taking a seminar or obtaining a certification in this program.
