Berkeley People Management

Power Skills Series and Certificate

The next round of the Berkeley People Management (BPM) Power Skills series is now open, featuring new classes through September 24, 2024.

What are Power Skills?

In our ever-evolving world, these non-technical, role-agnostic skills are necessary for navigating the parameters of our unique higher education system.

Power Skills, also called soft skills, transferable skills, or human skills, are skills we must acquire and practice to be successful people leaders. People Managers use these skills daily to enable individuals on their teams to interact successfully, navigate change, and drive overall success in the workplace.

Crucial Conversations™ for Mastering Dialogue

Crucial Conversations™ for Mastering Dialogue teaches skills for creating alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue around high-stakes, emotional, or risky topics – at all levels of the organization. By learning to speak and be heard and encouraging others to do the same, you’ll surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, and then act on your decisions with unity and commitment. Course content is based on the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High, by Kerry Patterson and Joseph Grenny.

Focus on Your Talents with CliftonStrengths

Do you ever wonder why you make deliberate choices, do what you do, and are better at doing some things than others? The reason is talent, a naturally recurring thought, feeling, or behavior pattern that influences choices and directs actions. Through your talents, you tap into your greatest potential for success, and the outcome is strength. During this session, you will explore your natural talents through the CliftonStrengths assessment, which introduces your dominant themes, identifies top strengths, and offers suggestions on how to leverage them.

Franklin Covey’s Working at the Speed of Trust

Note: Course content is geared toward individual contributors and is open to everyone. When trust is low, people become suspicious, guard communication, speculate, and disengage. As a result, productivity grinds to a crawl, and the costs—whether social, emotional, or financial—increase. We call these trust taxes. When trust is high, people become confident and communication, creativity, and engagement improve. As a result, productivity speeds up and costs decrease. We call these trust dividends. Working at the Speed of Trust® helps you strengthen your trust signals in every relationship to convert trust taxes into trust dividends and propel yourself and your team further, faster.

Franklin Covey’s Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager

Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™ combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members. Success starts with the core agile principle of value—a project must deliver value to an organization. People make projects successful once the value is established through a consistent process.

Leadership Learning Corner: Develop Others

Avoid the lure of being the smartest person in the room. Some of the most effective leaders are not the geniuses in the room, they are the genius-makers. They realize they don't have all the answers and they focus on drawing talent out of the people they lead.  Want to learn more?  Enroll in Multipliers. https://youtu.be/Se9wtmtW12g

Managing Stress for Positive Change

In the workplace, stress is often viewed in purely negative terms—it's seen as a response that should simply be minimized or pushed aside. However, it's possible to use stress to fuel positive change. In this course, join instructor Heidi Hanna, PhD, as she discusses what exactly stress is, how to train yourself to use stress more effectively, and what managers can do to reduce employee stress when an organization experiences difficult time. She covers how individuals can use stress for good by assessing and adjusting it, as well as what you, as a manager, can do to create an environment and communication style that helps connect employees to the bigger picture.
