Our w ish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and manage ment skills used within IEEE\, how they function and how to employ them bo th as IEEE officers\, and in your everyday work and life. These are referr ed to as ‘soft skills’ in that they are not based on the physical prin ciples we all learned as we worked toward our engineering degrees. They ar e psychological\, organizational\, interpersonal and their training requir es that they be ‘learned’ in two associated ways.\n\nThe first part is an appreciation of the principles and techniques involved. That is usuall y part of a class or study covering the basics (theory) of the method. Tha t part we intend to offer in the form of ‘on-line’ classes and referen ce study material.\n\nThe second part requires putting the ‘theory’ in to active practice. We often liken this to learning a sport\, such as play ing a game of tennis. No amount of ‘book study’ can teach you how it f eels to swing a racket\, or how to know when your swing connects perfectly \, and the ball goes exactly where you intended. Those elements of a skill only come with practice!\n\nClasses:\n\nAs an introduction to the ‘theo ry’ portion of these skills\, we will offer a set of virtual classes sup ported by study materials available through the SEM Section website and th e IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence. The virtual classes will begin in the 2nd week of January 2022 and conclude at the end of February of that year. Each class will be conducted via WebEx as an overview’ of the topi c ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and cl arify issues. (See the agenda below:)\n\nNote: Space for these classes is not like outer space\, it is limited\, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kimball Williams\ , \n\nAgenda: \nWednesdays 8 PM Class -(Topics for each shown in the chart below:)\n\nDate Week Wed: 8 PM Primary Topic Officer Focus\n1/12/2022 1 v Tools Communications Primary Team (Chair/Vice-Chair/Treasurer/Secretary)\n 1/19/2022 2 Reporting Coordination Extended Team\n1/26/2022 3 Relationship s Leadership Chair\n2/2/2022 4 Publish Success Support V-Chair\n2/9/2022 5 Coordiation tools Scheduling Secretary\n2/16/2022 6 Accounting Tools Trac king Treasurer\n2/23/2022 7 The big picture Reaching Out Section officers & ExCom members\nSundays 1 PM Discussion Sessions: (Not a repeat of the We dnesday classes.)\n\nDate Sun: 1 PM Primary Topic Officer Focus\n1/16/2022 Review & Summary Communications Team\n1/23/2022 Review & Summary Coordina tion Extended Team\n1/30/2022 Review & Summary Leadership Chair\n2/6/2022 Review & Summary Support V-Chair\n2/13/2022 Review & Summary Scheduling Se cretary\n2/20/2022 Review & Summary Tracking Treasurer\n2/27/2022 Wrap Up Reaching Out Engaging All\n\nDearborn\, Michigan\, United States\, Virtual : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/296830 LOCATION:Dearborn\, Michigan\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtoo ls.ieee.org/m/296830 ORGANIZER:k.williams@ieee.org SEQUENCE:19 SUMMARY:Officer Training 2022 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/296830 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetic a\, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;">In 2022 we will offer &lsquo\;Officer Training&rsquo\; to our &lsquo\;new&rsquo\; officers as well as <u>any IEE E member</u>\, at any grade level or position.&nbsp\; Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills use d within IEEE\, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE offi cers\, <u>and in your everyday work and life</u>.&nbsp\; These are referre d to as &lsquo\;soft skills&rsquo\; in that they are not based on the phys ical principles we all learned as we worked toward our engineering degrees . &nbsp\;They are psychological\, organizational\, interpersonal and their training requires that they be &lsquo\;learned&rsquo\; in two associated ways. &nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;"><u>The first part</u> is an appreciation of the principles and techniques involved.&nbsp\; That is usually part of a class or study covering the basics (theory) of the method.&nbsp\; That p art we intend to offer in the form of &lsquo\;on-line&rsquo\; classes and reference study material. <br /></span></p>\n<p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;"> <u>The second</u> par t requires putting the &lsquo\;theory&rsquo\; into active practice.&nbsp\; We often liken this to learning a sport\, such as playing a game of tenni s.&nbsp\; No amount of &lsquo\;book study&rsquo\; can teach you how it fee ls to swing a racket\, or how to know when your swing connects perfectly\, and the ball goes exactly where you intended.&nbsp\; Those elements of a skill only come with practice!&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span style="f ont-family: arial\, helvetica\, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Cl asses:</strong></span></p>\n<p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetica \, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;">As an introduction to the &lsquo\;theor y&rsquo\; portion of these skills\, we will offer a set of virtual classes supported by study materials available through the SEM Section website an d the IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence.&nbsp\; The virtual classes wi ll begin in the 2<sup>nd</sup> week of January 2022 and conclude at the en d of February of that year.&nbsp\; Each class will be conducted via WebEx as an overview&rsquo\; of the topic <em>&lsquo\;de jour&rsquo\; </em>and a discussion or Q&amp\;A session to answer questions and clarify issues.
