Spring '26 Leadership Series: Critical Thinking
2026-04-28 08:00 - 12:00 | Fostoria Learning Center
Critical thinking is vital to any kind of success, including your career and beyond. Simply put, critical thinking is a questioning approach to form a judgment or conclusion. It encourages reflective and independent thinking to guide us through the hundreds of decisions that we make throughout a week. Having these skills provides you with the best chance of making an informed decision. Everything and anything can be a subject to question with critical thinking.

Spring '26 Leadership Series: Supervising Others
2026-04-21 08:00 - 12:00 | Fostoria Learning Center
Supervising can be a tough job. Between managing your own time and projects, helping your team members solve their problems and complete tasks, and helping other supervisors, your day can fill up before you know it. This workshop will help supervisors become more efficient. They will also become more proficient with delegating, managing time, setting goals and expectations (for themselves and others), providing feedback, resolving conflict, and administering discipline.
