DiSC Profile Workshop offered at UUCY
Phyllis Sword, team member of UUCY's Learning and Leadership Development Team, facilitated a DiSC Profile Workshop for UUCY's lay and staff leaders starting in June 2015.
Workshop participants learned about their natural and working "types," and learned some practices for working with similar or different types. Phyllis will offer more of these workshops in the future for the general membership if there is enough interest.
Contact Phyllis Sword if interested.

As part of our positive changes and growth over the past two years, we recognize that our skilled and experienced trainers have much to share with the UUCY Community. We seek to help you grow skills to engage at UUCY, and will help you learn. -Learning and Leadership Development Team- Phyllis Sword, Bengt Dalemar, Jon Paulos, Suzannah Alexander History- from our Annual Report:
The need for a leadership development initiative was identified when our new governance format was formulated in 2013. The name of this initiative was changed slightly to Learning and Leadership Development. It serves as support to both the Board and Program Council but is not a part of either, similar to Nominating Committee. As our learning program is being designed, offerings are typically falling into two tracks - systems (how to) courses and behavioral courses. Input from our current leaders indicated a desire for some "nuts and bolts" (systems) training, such as Running a Meeting, Developing an Agenda, etc. as well as behavioral track courses such as effective communication and leadership. Handout materials on some of these topics were distributed to current leaders in Fall 2014. Courses in these areas, as well as DISC profile workshops, will continue to be offered throughout 2015. Initially these offerings will be for those in current leadership positions. However, if there is space in a class, then others will be welcome to participate. Watch for announcements of course offerings at leadership meetings and other venues. |
