Join us for a three-part Human Resources Workshop in partnership with the Durango Chamber and the Durango Area Human Resources Managers. The first workshop on Leveraging Culture to Recruit & Retain Top Talent will be taught by Suzanne Phare with Real Ideal Coaching at the Center for Innovation (second floor of the Main Mall).   Workshop Description:  The world of work is changing. What used to work doesn't. Based on evidence from one of the largest studies conducted related to resignation and culture, this session will help you understand the key drivers of retention and recruitment (spoiler alert, we aren't talking about ping pong tables and pet insurance). Culture is quantifiable, and you will leave understanding 5 key aspects of culture that will make or break your attraction and preservation of high-performing and engaged employees.   Suzanne has over twenty years of executive coaching and human resource management and owns Real Ideal Coaching. She is the former HR Director at Ska Brewing and is currently conducting Leadership Training and Executive Coaching in the Four Corners Area.   Since this workshop takes place over the lunch hour, please feel free to bring your own lunch to enjoy.   All are welcome to attend these workshops to learn more about important topics that impact your business! Mark your calendar for the other workshop dates: Thursday, June 8th, and Thursday, November 9th.

Aikido? Ai means harmony. Ki means energy. Do is the way. Thus, ai-ki-do is the way we harmonize energy. Aikido is a Japanese martial art with a do-no-harm approach to self-defense. A 2017 compilation of academic research on aikido found that people derive many physical and psychological benefits from this martial art. Better balance, more flexibility, boosted confidence, greater mindfulness, and reduced anxiety are some of the reported findings. Would you like to welcome these qualities into your life?    Register the 4-week Intro Series. Visit our website for full details.
