HAYS, Kan. ­– The Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University is kicking off its summer workshop series with two popular workshops in June: “CliftonStrengths Essentials” and “Supervisor Bootcamp.”

Participants of “CliftonStrengths Essentials” will discover their natural talents and learn how to develop them into strengths to be used in everyday life. Strategies will be learned to leverage natural talents, explore how talents can contribute to team success with a team talent map, and more.

“Several community members are already utilizing their strengths. Join them and take advantage of the talent development program used by more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies,” said Hannah Hilker, MDC training development specialist.

“CliftonStrengths,” facilitated by Hilker and Sabrina William, Management Development Center director, will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, June 13, in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge. Registration closes on June 6.

“Supervisor Bootcamp” will provide participants with five fundamental supervisory skills: guiding the work, organizing the work, developing staff, managing performance, and managing relations. Taught by a retired Army senior NCO, participants will learn practical tools to lead, manage and develop their employees.

“This workshop is essential for new supervisors or those wishing to improve their supervisory skills to drive performance in their organization,” said Hilker.

This workshop, facilitated by William and Dr. Seth Kastle, assistant professor of leadership studies, will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, June 19, in the first-floor meeting room in FHSU’s Hansen Hall. Registration closes on June 12.

A completion certificate and 7.0 continuing education units will be given to each workshop participant. The workshops will cost $219 each. A 15-percent discount applies for all Hays Area Chamber of Commerce Members for a single session.

Registration is available online through the Registration link in the sidebar on the page at www.fhsu.edu/mdc. To learn more about these workshops or additional upcoming trainings, contact Hilker by phone at 785-628-4121 or by email at hehilker@fhsu.edu.
