2025 JAG NTS

Does your agency have managers that aspire to higher levels of the organization? Are you a manager that wants to develop and sharpen your leadership skills? This workshop will focus on the key differences between managing teams and leading them. It will also provide practical advice that you (or your employees) can apply in their professional growth.

Vicarious trauma affects teachers’ brains in the same way it affects their students. Yet many teachers are never explicitly taught how to help students who have experienced trauma, let alone address the toll it takes on their health and personal lives. We will explore coping strategies for dealing with vicarious trauma. How can we care and not cost our health and life satisfaction in the process?

In today’s workplace, it is not uncommon to find four and sometimes five different generations working side-by-side. How did the formative events that each generation experienced shape their approach to work? What are some proven strategies for attracting and motivating employees from each generation? How do you recognize the commonalities of each generation while still respecting individual differences? We will answer these questions and more during this session.
