Strategic Decision Making: Integrating Intuition and Insight
Led by Keri Clifton and Tom Morgan
Leaders often don’t move forward with plans and strategies if they are not energized by them. Instead of leaving your strategic plans sitting on a shelf, consider embracing a decision-making and planning approach that balances both your emotional and critical response to the opportunities you have as a leader. This approach honors the affective side of decisions while thoughtfully evaluating and comparing the potential outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
• Thoughtfully analyze and compare various potential outcomes of a decision
• Reflect on the emotional impact of decision outcomes to enhance self-awareness and leadership growth
Mission Impact through Community Connections
Led by Jenean Gilmer
Deep community relationships are essential for advancing organizations. At Augsburg University, meaningful connections with neighbors, entrepreneurs, businesses, and nonprofits—particularly within Cedar-Riverside's East African community—have transformed both campus and community. Join us to explore how the neighborhood has evolved, how we've adapted to changing needs, and hear community members' experiences firsthand. Through these walks and conversations, you'll discover how authentic community engagement generates cultural and economic wealth and builds your mission's impact. Organizations that center community connections build foundations that withstand challenges and embrace opportunities, creating impact that endures.
