About this event

EmpowerU is a new hybrid program that is designed to grow your skills on how to use science-based information to meaningfully engage decision-makers about issues you are concerned about. By the end of this course, you will have developed a 4-5 page roadmap to address your issue. This training will enhance your skills in the areas of interpersonal leadership, effective communication, and the development of partnerships.

Topics covered include:

  • Learn about engagement
  • Learn how to find reliable information
  • Understand influence, power, and persuasion
  • Review best practices for listening and questioning
  • Learn about framing an issue
  • Create an engagement plan

The EmpowerU program is a 6-week series (August 15 - September 23) with approximately 8 hours online training via Canvas and 3 live workshop sessions (2 via Zoom and 1 in person). Completion of all online modules and workshop sessions are required to complete the course. Please allow for at least 1-2 hours of online work each week and be able to engage in all 3 live workshop sessions.
