For most of us, the demands our careers place on our shoulders can be overwhelming. Combine this with the distractions caused by an unending influx of information, and our lives can become downright exhausting. If we don't react to these stimuli with clear discernment, our ability to think clearly and make wise decisions about what's important suffers, the goals that matter most in our professional and personal lives get shortchanged, or not accomplished at all.

This course combines current neuroscience research with proven productivity principles to help you better manage your decisions, attention, and energy. You'll learn how to apply a process and maximize the use of technology platforms that can dramatically increase your ability to achieve life's most important outcomes by consistently making choices that create extraordinary value for yourself and your organization. This solution not only produces a measurable increase in productivity, but can also provide you with a renewed sense of engagement and accomplishment.

Here's your opportunity to establish your presence as a new boss, build credibility, and adapt your unique style to every situation that comes your way.

This seminar covers the nuts and bolts to prepare you to take your first supervisory role, from setting goals for your team to tackling difficult conflicts. With exercises, feedback, and practice, you will return with the tool kit to confidently take on any new task with greater ease and improved confidence.

Even projects that have solid, well-defined project plans encounter some degree of change and waste. Shifting market conditions, budget cuts, staff restructuring, or any number of influences will disrupt the best plan while contributing to customer dissatisfaction and staff discouragement. Moreover, projects that begin with changing or unclear requirements make it difficult to even establish project expectations.

Scrum is the agile development process that allows teams to deliver usable software periodically throughout the life of the project, absorbing change and new requirements as the project proceeds.

Beginning with the history of agile development and moving through the disciplines promoted by Scrum, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a ScrumMaster.

Certification:

Upon completion of the class, your information will be submitted to the Scrum Alliance and you will become eligible to take the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) online exam. To be eligible for the exam, you must be present for the full duration of the two days of training and participate during the training session. Passing this exam will earn you the Certified Scrum Master designation.

In this course, you will acquire the knowledge and skills needed for deploying, managing, and maintaining Macs and iOS-based devices. You will learn how to use different methods for creating and deploying application installer packaged, files, and configuration profiles while supporting many devices. Additionally, you will learn how to set up and maintain a Mac server. Instructors will also demonstrate and discuss other apps for assisting in day-to-day IT tasks.

Note: An iPad will be provided to you for the duration of the class.

This course is for video editors who understand the basics of the editing tools in Avid Media Composer and are ready to move ahead and learn the fundamentals of creating effects. Along with its counterpart, MC 101 - Avid Media Composer Editing Essentials, this course provides the foundation for Avid's Media Composer certification. The MC 101/110 - Comprehensive Study of Editing and Effects with Avid Media Composer combined class saves you over 20% when compared to booking the classes separately.

You will be taken through the basic effects-building interface; then you'll learn fundamental audio adjustments and effects, multilayered video compositing, tracking, stabilization, various retiming methods, and basic color-grading techniques. This course is a crucial step in mastering Avid Media Composer.

How well you communicate can make or break your professional image, influencing how others view your work, your performance, and even your technical skillsets and your prospects for career mobility. This communication skills seminar will teach you how to choose and use the most appropriate words and emotional tone for every business situation. In just two days, you'll gain insights into your communication style and that of others, while gaining skills for clearly and effectively receiving and transmitting information, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and needs.

How You Will Benefit

• Communicate efficiently and tactfully with clients, direct reports, colleagues, your boss, and senior management
• Respond in a professional manner, even when you're out of your comfort zone
• Strengthen your communication effectiveness with active listening
• Elicit cooperation and respect by modeling
• Improve your image through the increased self-awareness you'll gain

Bringing about the reaction you want from others and expanding your influence require insights that go beyond the actual process of influencing and into the psychology of what truly prompts us to say "yes" or "no."

This two-day course explores these psychological triggers and how you can use this knowledge to bring about not only for compliance but also for mutually desirable outcomes. You'll uncover persuasion techniques that most people don't even know exist, and you'll learn how to build your influence by applying these principles to any number of business interactions-from managing, mentoring, and negotiating, to conversing, writing, and presenting. In addition, you will learn how to choose the best principle for any given situation and avoid being manipulated by others.

You will also cover:

• The psychological foundation to the laws of persuasion
• Differentiating the psychology of persuasion from the process of influencing
• The relationship of triggers to the laws of persuasion/influence
• The two paths of persuasion: conscious and subconscious
• Using the Pre-Persuasion Checklist to determine the appropriate law(s) of persuasion for a given business situation
• Applying the laws of persuasion back on the job

You will receive a complimentary copy of Maximum Influence: The 12 Universal Laws of Power Persuasion by Kurt W. Mortensen when you attend this course.
