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 pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior 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 Inclusive Leadership: Practical Ways to Cultivate Inclusion and Build a Better Team

What happens when you prioritize inclusion in your daily leadership behaviors? You disrupt bias and create an environment where every person on your team feels valued, thrives, and creates breakthrough results for your team and organization. FranklinCovey’s Inclusive Leadership: Practical Ways to Cultivate Inclusion & Build a Better Team will show you that leading inclusively isn't something extra to do—it's about making the most of things you're already doing. You'll learn to connect with each individual to understand their unique skills and needs, to spot potential and address barriers to success, and to involve your whole team in co-creating an inclusive culture.

Franklin Covey’s
Working at the Speed of Trust

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.

Helpdesk transition to Service Now

The UC Learning Center helpdesk will transition from email to the ServiceNow platform in the spring of 2025.

While this change is primarily in anticipation of the campus’s transition from Outlook- to Google-based email, we hope this will also improve your experience by providing end users with a web-based system to track submitted inquiries and requests, which can then be supported by multiple team members and allow for better cross-campus collaboration.

Additionally, this change will help our team gain greater insights into ways to improve our service and support of the University’s employee learning management system via ServiceNow’s detailed reporting and metrics. Visit our website<https://ucrlearning.ucr.edu/> for updates.
