Susan Alexander

lij;oijopijInstructor HighlightJill Sattler has been working in the medium of watercolor for seven years. It began as a journey through illustration while she finished her undergraduate thesis project, The Harp That Held Music, a children’s book she wrote, illustrated and self

published. After this project she attended the Pacific Northwest College of Art and graduated with her MFA in the summer of 2014. Jill currently teaches acrylic painting at Arts & Corks in Puyallup, WA and Experimental Wa-tercolor at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. Her work resides within a phenomenological framework of philosophy, navigation of space and the practical ap-plication of pigment to paper. Teaching is a passion and she feels that empowering people to create is a privilege she does not take lightly.

Social Media: Untangling the MazeIn this class focus will be placed on the primary social media outlets used for business and creative marketing today.

When is the right time to match each of these to a project or event? Most small business owners are filled with these types of questions yet have few answers. This class will take these media one-by-one and answer the basics. Students will leave with a clear understanding of each resource and a "how to" approach for getting started.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE

Motivating & Coaching to Build Top Talent Organizations need people to step up and get the job done. Most organizations expect this without giving enough of the right kinds of support to staff and without insisting on the right kinds of activities from managers. This class helps participants create environments that compel initiative at every level and gives them the hands-on coaching practice needed to develop people’s capacity, be they already high-performers, entry level staff, or somewhere in between. Spring 2018

Managing Change & Making Great Decisions Organizations that have the right change rollout conversa-tions and involve the right people at the right times are the most successful. Organizations that are clear about their decision making criteria and how each member is expected to input are more productive. This program leads participants through an assessment of these processes in their organization and for their teams. Teaches strategies to immediately elevate functioning and provides templates for keeping the improvement focused and on track in the future.Spring 2018

Leading from the Middle: Influencing without Direct Authority To get the job done, effective leaders know how to use influence when they lack direct authority. They innovate, using informal power to compel key stakeholders, upward, downward, and laterally. Participants in this course will experience expanded positive influence by embodying the attributes of influential people, discover how to read situations in order to bring the right communication, and learn strategies to brand their leadership identity with oth-ers and with themselves. 1/29-1/31 MTW 8:00am-4:30pm $550Code C302 Lacey Campus L1-182 21CH
