Project Management in the UCLA Library
2019-02-11 12:00 - 13:00 | UCLA Bunche Hall, Room 6257, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
Projects can be exciting and career enhancing, but can also be difficult to juggle with one’s ongoing work. In a project-driven world, it is estimated that 70% of projects fail. It is vital to use effective project management to ensure success. In this workshop, you will learn strategies that the UCLA Library uses to help reduce the risk of project failure and balance three common project constraints—scope, schedule and budget. You will also learn about the life cycle of a project and the recommended allocation of time between planning and implementing.
The speaker, Bill Hackenberg, will also provide an overview of Agile, a new project methodology that has been used widely in software development. The principles of Agile can be applied to projects in various industries, and prove useful when project requirements are unclear. The process helps to create solutions that evolve over time. When using Agile, the team and the customer work closely to achieve better results.

Are you your best self?
“To reshape the future we need first to better understand and reshape ourselves”

In this optimistic and inspiring book, Peter Whybrow, offers a prescription for genuine human progress. “The genetic prescription we each carry, does not alone determine our destiny: but the interaction of that prescription with family, culture, and experience certainly does.”
The Well-Tuned Brain is a call to action. Whybrow addresses significant issues related to the navigation toward a more meaningful life.
Swept along by the cascading advances of today’s technology, most of us take for granted that progress brings improvement in the workplace and in our personal lives; however, the evidence grows that we are failing to create a sustainable future for humanity. Technology itself is not the problem but rather our behavior.
Learn how to achieve success by developing the strength and wisdom of our better nature as humane social beings to help us cope with a more automated future.

Building a Highly Effective Team with a Multi-Generational Workforce
Slides now available!
Description: A highly effective team requires some important elements such as a shared purpose, common goals, trust, and collaboration. Achieving these elements may seem more challenging with five different generations populating the current workforce, each bringing their own particular approaches to work. However, understanding each generation’s motives at work and aligning their needs may alleviate potential conflicts and enhance performance levels.

Re-thinking Networking: How anyone can network successfully
2018-04-25 12:00 - 13:30 | Royce Hall, Room 314, 10745 Dickson Plaza, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
Re-thinking Networking: How anyone can network successfully…

The term NETWORKING can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a necessary chore that one (reluctantly) forces themselves to do when trying to advance their career or get a new job …and sometimes just the thought of networking gives many people anxiety. But for others, networking is part of their everyday life, both personally and professionally.
So the question is: can anyone – with any personality type – network successfully?
Absolutely!
Join this interactive workshop that will focus on how introverts, extroverts and all types of people can re-think networking as something much different – and much more fun – then how they thought of networking in the past.
You’ll change the way you think about networking. The discussion will be followed by (of course) time to network.

2017-03-09 12:00 - 13:00 | Royce Hall, Room 314, 10745 Dickson Plaza, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
Are you a supervisor who dreads writing performance reviews? Or, are you an employee who has received a poorly crafted performance review? There are reasons for that, and understanding what they are can make the process easier and more effective.

It helps to have a better understanding of various evaluation forms, approaches, and rating systems. The better the fit between the review format and the position being reviewed, the more successful the experience is likely to be.

Post-retirement, Debra was asked to join the UCPath team where has been working on the design and deployment of UCPath to the campus, scheduled for later this year.

The Upward Spiral
Depression can feel like a downward spiral, affecting your work and pulling you into a vortex of sadness, fatigue, and apathy. In The Upward Spiral, neuroscientist Alex Korb demystifies the intricate brain processes that cause depression and offers a practical and effective approach to getting better.
Whether you suffer from depression or just want a better understanding of the brain, this book offers an engaging and informative look at the neuroscience behind our emotions, thoughts, and actions. The truth is that there isn’t one big solution to depression, but there are numerous simple steps you can take to alter brain activity and chemistry. Some are as easy as relaxing certain muscles to reduce anxiety, or getting more sunlight to improve your mood. Small steps in the right direction can have profound effects—giving you the power to become your best self as you literally reshape your brain, one small change at a time.
Alex Korb PhD is a neuroscientist, writer, and coach. He has studied the brain for over 15 years, attending Brown University as an undergraduate and later earning his Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA. He has published over a dozen peer-reviewed journal articles on depression, neuromodulation and other topics, and is the author of The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time.
Outside of the lab he writes a popular blog for Psychology Today called PreFrontal Nudity: Your Brain Exposed, which explores how the tendencies of your brain can ruin or enrich your life. He has coached the UCLA Women’s Ultimate Frisbee team for twelve seasons, and is a 3 time award winner for USA Ultimate’s Coach of the Year. His expertise extends into leadership and motivation, mindfulness, physical fitness, and even stand-up comedy.
