On average nearly half of students do not continue in their college journeys citing reasons including a lack of sense of belonging. Moreover, students enrolled in online learning have 10% to 20% higher retention and persistence failure rates when compared to face-to-face. With the ongoing pandemic and continued online learning, students are yearning to be seen and heard. Previous literature has shown that one of the key components to student success is a sense of belonging, and instructors have the power to do that in their classes.

This interactive presentation will introduce Auntie Puanani Burgess’ Building a Beloved Community framework and insight on practices that have been implemented in various contexts (e.g. programs, workshops, and courses) geared towards increasing students’ sense of belonging to ultimately bolster their success in your course and at UHWO.

In this workshop, participants will be equipped with 7 key strategies to better overcome their blocks and turn their thoughts and ideas into action. In line with the theme “what gets in the way, becomes the way”, participants will identify and better understand what blocks them and what creates resistance.

Based on these insights, the host will share the newly developed framework called “the science of action” which presents 7 key strategies, such as nudging, energy competence, managing inner voices, and others, to be more in peace with what is blocking and also to better overcome the so called “intention-action-gap”.

Participants will leave this workshop with a better understanding of their blocks and concrete strategies to better deal with them. This will equip them also to use these tools as mentor, coach or leader to individuals, teams, and organizations.

The curriculum is part of a new research and teaching project called “the science of action” by the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, Columbia University in New York, and Stanford University. The host is the leader of this project.

Workshop description:

In this workshop, participants will use a combination of the innovation method design thinking, positive psychology, and latest insights from behavioral economics to pro-actively design a future they look forward to. Based on science and with a hands-on approach, we will design the future in small ways, such as healthy habits and routines, and also in bigger ways by crafting a portfolio of occupations including career, side-projects, hobbies and other sources of happiness and well-being. The workshop supports participants in finding out who they are, what drives them and what is important to them. Based on this, it will help them to create ideas for future activities and turn them into action by using the “magic circle” intervention. Participants will leave this workshop with concrete ideas to design their future and a mindset of growth for their future.

This award-winning approach is based on the bestseller “Design Your Life” by Stanford University and the extension of their work by the host of this workshop which won the impact award.

A skill that is critical to success in the academy, but one that is not given much (if any) attention, is around developing your voice, and communicating that voice in a persuasive, compelling way. Perhaps you are a department chair working to garner consensus among colleagues or advocate to institutional leaders. Or perhaps you are a mid-career faculty member seeking to advance towards full professorship. Regardless of your goals and current professional position(s), in this session you will be given tools and strategies to help you foster your persuasive skills.
