Extension Offers Common-Sense Solutions for Workplace Effectiveness

While there are appropriate times, places and situations where sophisticated management techniques are vital, many challenges in the workplace are solvable with simple, common-sense solutions. College of the Canyons Community Extension is offering two classes that will help managers solve workplace challenges ­ and have some fun in the process.

Effective Meeting Leadership is a fast-paced, entertaining class that teaches the secrets of fewer, shorter and more productive meetings. Taught by Gary Buterbaugh, the class focuses on the meeting strategies and practices of successful leaders. It is perfect for managers, supervisors, project leaders and team leaders in business, government and community organizations. It meets from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, June 10, and again on Monday, June 17. Registration fee for this class is $75 plus an additional $7 materials fee.

Develop Your Gut Instinct: The Use of Intuition in the Business Setting is designed to develop students' intuitive awareness in support of their career goals and to help students establish procedures and guidelines for the enhancement and use of intuition in the everyday workplace. The class is taught by Robert Sharp, a management consultant and personal development coach. He is the CEO and founder of the management consulting firm Undiscovered Strengths.

This class meets from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18. Registration fee for the class is $39 plus a $20 materials fee.

These classes are two of the many "fee-based, self-supporting" classes offered by College of the Canyons Community Extension and are not associated with the taxpayer-supported, credit classes offered by the college.
