Our wish is to help all gain a fuller aw areness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE\, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers\, and in yo ur everyday work and life. These are referred to as ‘soft skills’ in t hat they are not based on the physical principles we all learned as we wor ked toward our engineering degrees. They are psychological\, organizationa l\, interpersonal and their training requires that they be ‘learned’ i n two associated ways.\n\nThe first part is an appreciation of the princip les and techniques involved. That is usually part of a class or study cove ring the basics (theory) of the method. That part we intend to offer in th e form of ‘on-line’ classes and reference study material.\n\nThe secon d part requires putting the ‘theory’ into active practice. We often li ken this to learning a sport\, such as playing a game of tennis. No amount of ‘book study’ can teach you how it feels to swing a racket\, or how to know when your swing connects perfectly\, and the ball goes exactly wh ere you intended. Those elements of a skill only come with practice!\n\nCl asses:\n\nAs an introduction to the ‘theory’ portion of these skills\, we will offer a set of virtual classes supported by study materials avail able through the [Southeastern Michigan Section website](https://r4.ieee.o rg/sem/) and the [IEEE Center for Leadership Excellence.](https://ieee.lea rningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 2nd week of January 2024 and conclude end of February of that year. Each class will be conduct ed via WebEx/Zoom as an overview’ of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discu ssion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agen da below:)\n\nNote: Space for these classes is not like outer space\, it i s limited\, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwo rds to attend.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Kimball Williams\n\nSpeaker(s): Sharan Kalwani\n\nAgenda: \nDay Date General Topic/Theme Primary Focus Areas cove red Duration\nSat 1/13/2024 vTools Communications Volunteer tools/resource s for the Primary Teams 2 Hrs\nSat 1/20/2024 Collabratec Communications Pr imary & Extended Team 2 Hrs\nSat 1/27/2024 Leadership Chair Chair Duties / Responsibilities 2 Hrs\nSat 2/3/2024 Leadership V-Chair Vice-Chair Duties & Responsibilities 2 Hrs\nSat 2/10/2024 Leadership Secretary Secretary Du ties & Responsibilities 2 Hrs\nSat 2/17/2024 Leadership Treasurer Treasure r Duties & Responsibilities 2 Hrs\nSat 2/24/2024 Leadership Extended Team IEEE code of Ethics (updated) 2 Hrs\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee .org/m/382568 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382568 ORGANIZER:chair@ieee-sem.org SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:Officer Training 2024 (part 4 of 7) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/382568 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-family: arial\, helvetic a\, sans-serif\; font-size: 14pt\;">In 2024 we will offer &lsquo\;Officer Training&rsquo\; to our &lsquo\;newly&rsquo\; elected AND veteran officers and volunteers\; as well as <u>any IEEE member</u>\, at any grade level o r position.&nbsp\; Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE\, how they functi on and how to employ them both as IEEE officers\, <u>and in your everyday work and life</u>.&nbsp\; These are referred to as &lsquo\;soft skills&rsq uo\; in that they are not based on the physical principles we all learned as we worked toward our engineering degrees.
