TECHNOLOGY CENTER ResearchMERIDIAN suggests that our decisions are disrupted by an array of irrationalities and biases: We are overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn’t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. Unfortunately, being aware of these shortcomings doesn’t fix the problem, so we have to learn how to do better. This session will offer you a better framework to use when making decisions.

You’ll learn a step-by-step method to widen your options, reality test your assumptions, attain some distance and prepare to be wrong.

You will also brainstorm and discuss practical solutions to common decisions we each have to make on a daily and weekly basis.

You will consider how your actions and attitudes, along with those of your supervisor, impact the email practices of you and your work team, and you will gain practical tips to streamline your inbox processes once and for all.

Lean In - Strengthening Your Organization’s Culture One Intentional Conversation at a Time

How much do we potentially miss by looking at conversations through our own lens? How could we transform the way we do business by practicing to lean in and truly listen? By laying down our own agendas and biases, asking the right questions and creating a space that cultivates potential and positivity, we will more quickly uncover the creativity and uniqueness each individual brings and walk alongside them as they grow into their true selves.

Go Ahead, Take Your Vacation Time More than 55 percent of American workers didn’t use all their paid vacation time last year.

Why is this? Reasons are all over the map - too much work to do, perception that no one else can do their job or they can’t afford the vacation they’d really like to take. Where this choice often breeds lower productivity and eventual employee burnout, planned time away from work leads to rejuvenation, reflection and stronger relationships with the most important people in your life. This session will dive into the details of how to successfully prepare for and get away from your workspace, how to optimize your time away and how to re-enter your work routines feeling renewed and recommitted.
