All people have a unique combination of talents, knowledge, and skills — strengths — that they use every day to do their work, achieve their goals, and interact with others. Strengths-based leadership "focuses on productive and developmental conversations with employees that coach them toward repeat performance. Teams where 90% of employees or more know their strengths have substantially higher engagement" (Asplund & Hickman, 2021). However, gender bias still pervades leadership and management in the United States, which creates unbalanced representation and unrealized potential. Attendees will leave with an awareness of how a strengths-based approach can make an impact on leadership development, how women can be more intentional in using their natural talents to engage their teams, and how male colleagues can become stronger supporters and allies.

Come join us as we delve into the many nuanced concepts relating to the LGBTQIA+ community. This information will allow for the building of a framework that focuses on best practices for supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities.

Do you know the most effective way to achieve harmony and peace? Do you know your actual preferred method of conflict management and resolution? Do you understand the possible positive outcomes of conflict? This presentation will cover what positive conflict resolution is, how to achieve peace, and provide you a tool to discover your preferred method of handling conflict.

Giving and receiving feedback in a deliberate way is vital to the health of personal and professional relationships, as well as opening opportunities for personal growth and professional development. In Giving and Receiving Feedback, we will discuss the real-life application and need for feedback and a framework for how to approach feedback opportunities.

This session will teach how leaning in to the discomfort of challenging narratives and perspectives with shared values of empathy, equity, and belonging can open them up to beautiful new possibilities when it comes to building strong, safe, and unified communities. Students will learn how trust and relationship building precede the ability to make meaningful and sustainable social and political change.

At UVU we aim for a diverse and inclusive culture. Each of us have the power to better promote and move closer to this goal as we become aware of and understand Microaggressions. Together we will explore what Microaggressions are, share our experiences, and practice disrupting incidents.
