| The Art of Saying No | 06:00 | The humorist Josh Billings said, "Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly, and not saying no soon enough." If you've done either of these things, you are not alone. Many of us, on regular occasion, have trouble saying no. Enter this course. We'll explore why we tend toward "Yes," and then break down how to get to the "No" more easily, and with less guilt. And we'll all be feeling better in "no" time. |

| The Do's and Don'ts of Success | 06:35 | Do you want to know THE secret to success? There isn't one! That's right, it's no secret what makes a person successful. And it's not just ONE thing. It's a lot of things. In this program we're going to take a look at the skills, behaviors, and attitudes that successful people have in common. We'll also talk about the things that successful people DON'T do. This list may surprise you. You may find a couple of bad habits that could be holding you back from your true potential. |
| The Growth Mindset: 01. The Growth Mindset: Embracing Yet | 06:08 | Perhaps you've heard people throwing around the phrase "growth mindset" lately. It's a popular topic right now. The source of all the chatter is Stanford professor, Carol Dweck's 2006 book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. Throughout her book, Dweck compares a GROWTH mindset with a FIXED mindset. In this series, we'll discuss the differences between these two mindsets. For this first program, we want you to understand the importance of embracing "yet," which comes from having a growth mindset. "Yet" means that you know or expect something to happen in the future. It just hasn't happened "by now." |
| The Growth Mindset: 02. Developing Growth Mindset | 04:53 | Carol Dweck's book called, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success explains how having a growth mindset opens the doors to success and self-development. When you approach challenges with a growth mindset, you understand that you can develop the skills necessary and that failure is not permanent. The growth mindset can be applied in all areas of life, including education, physical abilities, artistic skills, relationships, and the workplace. In this course, we'll discuss the four steps to developing a growth mindset: 1. Learning to hear your fixed mindset voice. 2. Recognizing that you have a choice. 3. Talking back with your growth mindset voice. 4. Taking the growth mindset action. |
| The Growth Mindset: 03. Limitations of a Fixed Mindset | 05:40 | The fixed mindset is tempting. It's a comfortable place to live and work. Believing that you already know what you're good at, and what you're not good at, gives you the opportunity to pick and choose what you try and what you don't. It gives you the ability to put yourself in situations where you'll be successful, and to avoid situations where you might fail or be embarrassed. It's safe, but it's limiting. Chances are, you're living in a fixed mindset more often than you think. In this course, we'll go over how to know when you're in this cycle of negativity and what the risks are. We'll also go over failure, practice, and how to "fix" a fixed mindset. |
| Think Before You Speak | 04:51 | Has a customer, colleague, or boss said something rude to you? What’s your gut reaction? To snap back? To cry? To fill with rage and yell obscenities until you feel better? Obviously at work, or even in our personal lives, we can’t let that happen. Speaking before you think can damage your relationships, your career, and your self-confidence. This can happen not only in-person, but over the phone, email, or text. In this program, we’ll help you calm your inner monster by changing some habits. We’ll discuss how to gently approach these situations. We’ll also go over changing your think track so your talk track will follow. |
| Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Resolution | 05:45 | It's common to have conflict at work, due to individual differences between coworkers or task-related conflicts arising from leadership or company policies. Whatever the case, resolving conflicts in the workplace is difficult, but important. In this course, we're going to look at the Thomas-Kilmann model to resolve conflicts at work. This tool measures an individual's response to conflict situations by looking at their concern for people and their concern for tasks, and how these two elements affect conflict at work. |

Part of being a good employee is staying organized and productive. So, we've found the best apps for office productivity. |
| Troubleshoot Before Calling the IT Helpdesk | 06:40 | My screen went blank! Why aren’t my documents printing correctly? I’m not able to get any sound from my speakers! Why can’t I connect to Wi-Fi?! Don’t you just love technology? These issues pop up all the time, and before you call IT for help, you need to try troubleshooting the problem first. In this course, we’ll talk about why it’s important to fix minor technical issues on your own, and then we’ll discuss how to do it. |
| Turning an Internship into Full-time | 04:35 | Internships are an invaluable way to gain real world experience in the industry that you're pursuing. You gain a clear picture of the ins and outs of your desired field, you pick up real life knowledge that you wouldn't get by sitting in a classroom, and you can make great connections to help stretch your business network. For many, the goal at the completion of an internship is to be hired on by the company that you've been working with.

We'll go over what companies are looking for in new, young talent, we'll help you discover what your selling points are, we'll also discuss acting the part, goal setting, and more. |
| When To Let It Go | 06:08 | It’s important to speak up at work. Whether you’ve got a new idea to share, or a solution to a problem, or a concern that needs to be addressed, these things are worth talking about. But have you ever tried speaking your mind at work, only to get shut down? This happens to all of us, and there comes a time when you ask yourself, “Should I continue to fight for this? At what point do I drop it and move on?” Let’s talk about when to let it go, even when you want to keep pushing. |
