Good documentation does more than keep things organized. It helps you track the work, capture the wins, save the receipts, and make invisible work easier to see. This session will share practical strategies for documenting requests, decisions, follow-up, accomplishments, and ongoing work so you can manage your responsibilities with more clarity, less stress, and a stronger record of what you contribute.
What the session will cover:
Why Documentation Matters
What to Document
How to Document Verbal Conversations
How to Track Weekly Work
How to Build a Brag Book

Reimagining Meetings that Prioritize People and Collaboration
Reimagining Meetings that Prioritize People and Collaboration
Meetings happen everyday, but are often limited to simple transactions and regularly fall short of solving practical and predictable problems. And yet, meetings are the most common tool for embodied collaboration. Especially when effective meetings and collaborative efforts demand that we reach across traditional systems, processes, and structures within the institution, we struggle even more to reimagine how we work together. At its best, our collaboration can provide invaluable access to creativity, innovation, resilience, leadership and community.
In this workshop, we will use the site of meetings with our colleagues to identify limits to conventional approaches to collaboration, demonstrate how to develop and implement collaborative strategies that center people; and identify the impact of a reimagined, comprehensive approach.

Managing Conflict and Confrontation
Managing Conflict and Confrontation
Managing Conflict at Work begins with curiosity and a willingness to create win-win solutions. It grows from compassion for yourself and the colleague you are struggling with. While you cannot control their behavior, there are strategies you can employ to change the dynamic in the relationship. We invite you to join us with an inquisitive mind and an open heart.

UCE-FIT's Place in the Labor Movement
UCE-FIT's Place in the Labor Movement
There are so many reasons to be a proud member of United College Employees-Fashion Institute of Technology. We are the oldest union of higher education in the nation. We are the most important garment union in the nation. Both our school and our union are expressions of the highest form of capitalism and democracy the world has known--the New Deal alliance between bosses, workers and the government. Come learn about our heritage from other garment unions, our birth amidst the growth of public-sector unionism, and our survival and flourishing during recent dark decades for organized labor. Help us decide where we ought to go next as a union, and why UCE's history makes us uniquely poised to lead the working class to victory.
Presented by Daniel Levinson Wilk, Professor, Social Sciences
