MAKING THE MOST OF SOCIAL SECURITYOne of the most important decisions you need to make before you retire is when to claim Social Security benefits.

Study materials will be provided. Couples may attend together for the single attendance fee.

EXCEPTIONAL REAL ESTATE PHOTOS: THE NEW CURB APPEALIn today's modern real estate world, curb appeal, it can be argued, is good photography. People are busier than ever and expect everything available with the click of a mouse or the tap of a finger on a mobile device. They simply don't do drive-by's anymore unless they're actually interested in viewing the whole home inside and out; and they are not likely to become interested, unless good quality photos are available. With limited time and countless listings online to review, buyers will quickly move on if photos don’t reflect well on a property. First impressions are everything, and because they're so important, home owners and their realtor should focus as much energy and time on a photo shoot as they would on creating curb appeal or getting prepped for an open house. A picture is worth a thousand words, and in real estate they can be worth thousands of dollars.

BITCOIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY & BLOCKCHAIN

INTRO TO BITCOIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY & BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIESLearn exactly what BitCoin is and why Blockchain, the underlying technology driving cryptocurrencies, will be the next big disrupting influence in our lives. The digital currency known as bitcoin is just one of the many apps which we all will soon be using. Securely han-dling peer-to-peer transactions, medical records, smart contracts, crowdfunding, governance, and protection of intellectual property are just a few of the ways Blockchain is about to change the world. And yes, you will learn where and how to securely trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as, how to create a digital wallet to store your digital money. You will also learn how to securely trans-mit and make purchases using cryptocurrency. Instructor: Grayling Lathrop56225 Wed 9/5 5:30 – 9:30 p.m. Perrysburg $59

MINING BITCOIN, ETHEREUM & OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCIESInvesting in BitCoin isn’t the only way to make money with cryp-tocurrencies! The driving force behind Blockchain is the need for "miners" who use computing power to solve complex algorithms by "mining" blocks in the chain. Not all Blockchain mining is the same. While one new bitcoin block is discovered every 10 minutes, and the award for successfully mining a single block is currently (at press time) about $80,000 USD, the hardware and resources necessary to mine bitcoins are expensive. Fortunately there are many alternative mining opportunities. In addition to bitcoin, we will explore other Blockchains which do not require overly expensive specialized hardware. In many cases just a decent computer with a high quality video card will do the trick. If you have any interest in mining for cryptocurrency this class is a MUST for you! Instructor: Grayling Lathrop56226 Wed 9/26 5:30 – 9:30 p.m. Perrysburg $59

DDI LEADERSHIP TRAINING Learning may start in the classroom or online but it must continue on the job. Using high-quality curriculum developed by Development Dimensions International, Owens Community College delivers relevant and challenging learning experiences for all levels from individual contributors and front-line leaders to mid-level and senior-level leaders. More importantly, we help to ensure that newly-learned skills are put to use from first day back on the job. Your associates will be participating in the four half-day modules indicated below. All classes are presented by certified DDI instructors. All materials are included in course fee.

Communicating for Leadership SuccessThis foundation course will enhance your performance as a leader who achieves results through others as you build stronger relationships with your team and others. This session will help you realize business benefits as well as benefits to you as a leader from anticipating and meeting the personal and practical needs of those with whom you interact. Plan for interactions more successfully – in person and virtually – so that the efforts of you and your team are increasingly focused, efficient, and effective. Enrich the feedback that you provide to others.

Coaching for Peak PerformanceGain tools used to encourage people to take ownership of and be accountable for their work performance. Create a work environment where people are comfortable taking on the risks associated with new responsibilities. Boost morale, improve productivity, and increase profitability by coaching for peak performance in each person. Manage work performance issues, in a fair, consistent manner.

Resolving Workplace ConflictEnables leaders to reduce the damaging effects of workplace conflict on individuals, groups, and the organization. Learn how to effectively address workplace conflict and enhance productivity, efficiency, and morale. Help others take responsibility for resolving their own conflicts. Promote a culture of trust and mutual respect within your work group. Build an innovative and collaborative work environment.

Driving ChangeFocuses on how to accelerate the process or making change happen. Clearly communicate the business rationale for the change and the benefits it can bring to team members and the organization. Create an environment that is conducive to change in which team members are more readily prepared for change initiatives. Minimize the potential negative effects change can have on productivity, morale, and collaboration. Turn resistance into commitment and inspire team members to take ownership of change. 56063 Wed 10/24 - 11/14 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Findlay $535

LET’S TALK: BRIDGING THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN PROFESSIONALS AND THE PEOPLE THEY SERVEThis course will consider the disconnect professionals have when communicating with clients, patients, or the public. It will walk through the importance of attending to interpersonal relationships we encounter daily to the deeper connections we may take for granted because "the world keeps spinning and time is money". At course end, participants should be open to the lifelong exercise of better communication with tools and insight in place to make that happen. Session One: Perception – Impression – Engagement Before being able to engage effectively, you need to have an understanding of what kind of communicator you are and being conscience of and making small adjustments to where you are in space. Finally, we begin making the connection, i.e.: asking, “How are you” and waiting around for the answer. Session Two: Conversation – Conflict – EmpowermentBeing conversational is an unquantifiable gift that can be learned quickly and mastered with time and effort. With communication comes the inevitability of conflict. It’s not fatal if handled with intention and kindness. We will close with a look at empowerment; the secret is in a purposeful effort to leave people better than when we found them.56062 Wed 10/17 & 10/24 2 – 4:30 p.m. Perrysburg $59
