019. Trust Is Not Enough: How to Create a Work Environment Based in High Levels of Respect
Instructor: Skip Weismann
Monday, March 15, 2021, 1:00-4:30 p.m.
Dozens of books have been written about trust in the last two decades and each lay out the case for the power of trust, but they ignore the higher value of respect. Civility and respect seem to be at an all-time low in society and in the workplace. This course will explore the power of trust, the importance of context in trust and five aspects of trust necessary to make work relationships work and participants will explore why trust is not enough. A distinction will be made between trust and respect that will foster a deep discussion to identify the differences and most importantly workshop an activity to define specific measurable and observable behaviors that will build on trust to get to respect in a workplace relationship and across a team or work environment.

The Upside of Down Times: Discovering the Power of Gratitude
Lisa Ryan
Harness the Power of Gratitude One of the downsides of life is that we rarely have to deal with an overabundance of gratitude. Most of us tend to focus on the negative. We don't receive nearly as much acknowledgment as we would like, and we don't give as much recognition as others deserve. Now for the upside! When we learn to harness the power of gratefulness, we can make a major positive difference in so many areas of our lives, as well as the lives of those around us-and The Upside of Down Times is your first step toward making that happen. "I highly recommend this book if you want to be happier, healthier, and wealthier. I read this book in one sitting and began implementing some of the ideas the next day. The ideas are easy to implement but powerful in their results." -Jack Canfield, Co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Success Principles
