Please find below a selection of outstanding trainings. Although highly recommended for CIRES Leads and Supervisors, all CIRES employees will benefit from these courses. *LinkedIn Learning is available to all CIRES employees free of charge through My CU Info (under the Training tab)

Organizational Change:

Managing Organizational Change for Managers, LinkedIn Learning, by Ron Carucci

Emotional Intelligence:

I recommend this training on Leading with Emotional Intelligence, LinkedIn Learning, by Christopher Connors. 

Effective Communication:

This is a great opportunity coming up on September 24 and put together by our CIRES HR Team and the CU Central Professional Development team: 

Join CU Boulder Lead Trainer Lauren Harris for a shortened version of the popular Crucial Conversations course. All CIRES supervisors are encouraged to attend Crucial Conversations training as part of their professional development. This shortened version is a unique opportunity for our staff to engage with the Crucial Conversations concepts for free and in an abbreviated format. Reach out to CIRES HR with questions: cireshr@colorado.edu
