We can take concrete steps to make change more palatable by understanding people’s hesitation\, enlisting the help of others\, setting up plans\, and managing stressors. These steps can also ensure that desired changes are implemented successfully. \nIn this half-day workshop\, participants learn how to work through and cope with change\, and how to help those around them. \n  URL:https://link.ucop.edu/event/embracing-change-2/ CATEGORIES:Learning & Development ORGANIZER;CN="Learning &%3B Development":MAILTO:ucopld@ucop.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170323T120500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170323T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T081329 CREATED:20160112T220444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171220T224258Z UID:10005912-1490270700-1490274000@link.ucop.edu SUMMARY:Lakeside Speakeasy Toastmasters DESCRIPTION:Toastmasters meet weekly to help individuals build their communication skills\, including speaking\, leadership\, listening and feedback.

 \nThe destruction of world cultural heritage is an acute problem from the damage done to archaeological sites by the Islamic State and other groups in the Middle East. Last year\, the speaker received a grant from UCOP for ‘At-Risk World Heritage and the Digital Humanities’ to tackle this crisis through cultural preservation. In collaboration with archaeology faculty at UC Berkeley\, Los Angeles\, and Merced\, this project incorporates over 10\,000 years of cultural materials\, architecture\, and landscapes. The lecture will present an overview of this UC campus-wide partnership\, which uses conventional and modern techniques to study the effects of disasters—both natural and manmade—and forecast endangered sites. \nSpeaker Thomas Levy is Distinguished Professor and holds the Norma Kershaw Chair in the Archaeology of Ancient Israel and Neighboring Lands at the University of California\, San Diego. \nQuestions about this event?
