Would you, or someone you know benefit from writing in a more clear, concise, and professional manner? Could you get more done if you did not spend so much time editing and rewriting correspondence? If you said yes to either question, the Administrative Professional Capstone Program is for you and your team. During this Capstone Program participants will compose, edit, proofread, and issue written materials for review by our subject matter experts, peers, and supervisors. By the end of the program, participants will have gained effective writing techniques to write with purpose, to consider the topic and intended reaction before writing a response with clarity, correct grammar, and formatting. Participants will increase productivity and enjoy less rewriting, editing, and irritating mistakes that take up too much time. The program will be conducted by Dr. Virginia Wells, Ph.D. in Organizational Systems, an Adjunct Professor of Organizational Psychology, at the University of Phoenix. Dr. Wells is focused on helping organizations develop collaborative practices and transformational changes necessary to maximize employee performance and drive the organization to succeed. Every participant will write and complete a capstone project as documentation of course completion to be graded by Dr. Wells and shared with peers and supervisors. Participants must achieve and maintain a scoring metric of 75%.

Organizations greatly benefit from having a professional cadre who can produce clear, well-organized, grammatically correct documents of the work they perform. Today’s professionals are expected to communicate effectively, and writing plays a vital role in how one’s work is presented to colleagues, subordinates, and the community as a whole. This course is designed to teach participants how the tools needed to complement their reader’s level of understanding, methods of getting past writer’s block, critical thinking skills to write effective documents, and much more.
Successful leaders can connect authentically, build confidence in others, and inspire and motivate people into action. Leaders with purpose stay focused and committed to leading through the myriad of everyday organizational challenges. This workshop will help leaders become more confident, composed, and credible, able to connect authentically with the thought and feelings of their team to motivate and inspire them toward a desired outcome.
Talking about mental health in the workplace isn’t easy. Given the mental health statistics in the U.S. and our experience with the pandemic, we know these discussions are critical. Supporting mental health in the workplace goes beyond offering programs and apps. Leaders play a crucial role in setting the tone and sending the message that our emotional wellness is just as important as our physical wellness. This training will help leaders recognize the significance of their role in creating a work environment that can positively or negatively impact their employees’ overall physical and mental health.
Some people immediately command attention and respect when they walk into a room. Do you have that kind of presence? If not, is it something that you would like to develop?
