The seminars run from January 25 to April 25. Learn more…<\/a><\/div>\n

EMU is offering a series of seven seminars designed to help persons sharpen their leadership and conflict management skills. <\/p>\n

EMU’s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP)<\/a>, MA in business administration program<\/a> and the Adult Degree Completion Program (ADCP)<\/a> have teamed up with the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce and the Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center to focus on topics ranging from negotiation skills for a “win-win outcome” to dealing with various personality types in the office. <\/p>\n

The seminars will begin late January, meeting 9 a.m. for noon on seven Fridays in classroom 211\/212 of the University Commons. (See campus map<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

‘People-Handling Skills’
<\/h3>\n

“In my 30 years in business, I’ve noted that the vast majority of middle and senior managers are highly competent in their fields of expertise, but some lack the people-handling skills they need to be fully successful,” said Allon Lefever, director of EMU’s MBA program and entrepreneur. “This seminar series will offer practical help in this arena.” <\/p>\n

“It’s been a wonderful opportunity for EMU to work more closely with organizations like the Chamber and SBDC to add the element of the ‘people-side’ of business to their existing and excellent array of services,” said Susan Landes Beck, a CJP administrator and initiator of the series<\/a>. “With these joint efforts, the Valley has a practical package of training opportunities for local persons who want to grow in all areas of their leadership, business, entrepreneurship and management skills,” she added.<\/p>\n

Costs, Schedule and Registration<\/h3>\n

The cost is $59 per seminar or $349 for the entire series, with a 10 percent discount for Chamber members. <\/p>\n

Instructors are seasoned faculty members from EMU’s CJP, ADCP and STAR (Strategies for Trauma Awareness and Resilence)<\/a> programs as well as from James Madison University and the Wharton, Aldhizer and Weaver law firm. <\/p>\n
