DALE McCOY - MANAGEMENT TRACK
(LSW - 11)
Motivating Performance in Changing Times
Because of today's accelerating demands, personnel in today's Juvenile Justice system must become geared for the increased velocity at which they are required to change. For people in charge, creating an environment in which staff remains consistently motivated to accomplish goals can be difficult to sustain. The challenge is to understand and facilitate change while balancing the task fulfillment with the needs of people. Effective leadership hinges on the ability to communicate change, set performance expectations, and coach and communicate effectively while involving others in creative problem-solving in order to affect positive change.
Change and Its Effect on You!
Teamwork and collaboration during organizational change are the cornerstones upon which success is built. Without teamwork, any organization will struggle against itself, working harder and harder, all the while blaming others for defeats. With effective teamwork and a collaborative effort by all, an organization can realize its full potential and overcome external barriers to success. This workshop focuses on the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities which Idaho Juvenile Justice personnel need in order to lead and manage themselves and others through change.
Principles of Human Motivation!
Today's leaders must be able to "multi-task", juggling priorities, keeping all the balls in the air, spinning plates. After all, time is of the essence. Unfortunately, in their quest for efficiency, many people in leadership roles create the very conditions they find most frustrating.
Effective Human Communication
Communication is a popular word. New technology designed to make communication easier emerges every day. It is a paradox that never before in history have humans been able to communicate as rapidly or through as many channels as today, yet communication bertween people remains problematic.
Leading & Coaching for Performance
The ability to accomplish something yourself is quite different from the ability to get others to want to do it. This session will focus on the importance of leadership at all levels, as well as essential knowledge and strategies that leaders within the Juvenile Justice system can use to coach peers and subordinates to higher levels of performance.

LYNN MACEACHERN
(LSW, LMSW - 1.5)
Understanding the "Box" and What Keeps You Inside It
Institutions and organizations of all sizes have embraced the concept of "thinking outside the box" in order to encourage creativity and innovation. Yet, despite devoting significant time, attention and capital to this effort, the resulting change is often superficial and does not produce the desired results. This session will provide hands on techniques for identifying and managing the competing beliefs and values that often block the desired change from taking place within an organization or work team.

MICHAEL PRITCHARD
(LSW - 1)
T
.E.A.M. - Together, Everyone and Anyone Matters

People thrive when all are working together for the greater good of the entire community. Michael will incorporate humor and humanitarian observations in addressing such issues as frustration, anger, active listening, conflict resolution, fighting indifference and apathy, bouncing back from burnout and reclaiming your dedication.
