This workshop is available to WFU Staff and Faculty; register via Workday.

Are you trapped in the cycle of fire-fighting, leaving zero room for strategic vision?

We can often let our strategic goals be buried beneath a mountain of daily logistics. But operational execution without strategic intent only keeps you running in place.

Join Learning and Development for Strategic Thinking & Priority Management, a 90-minute hands-on workshop designed to help you zoom out, think strategically, and make intentional decisions about where to invest your time and energy.

Rather than just discussing abstract leadership theory, this session bridges the gap between high-level vision and daily execution. You’ll leave equipped with practical, repeatable frameworks that you can immediately apply to your workload, projects, and departmental goals.

What You’ll Learn & Leave With:

• Develop a Strategic Mindset: Learn how to elevate your daily perspective beyond immediate deadlines to align your work with broader institutional goals.
• Master Intentional Prioritization: Use decision-making tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to filter out low-impact noise and protect time for high-value strategic initiatives.
• Triage Workload with Vision: Shift from reactive task completion to proactive planning using templates designed to clarify what to do, delegate, or eliminate.

Step away from your desk for 90 minutes and leave with a clearer vision, sharper priorities, and tools you can put to work the exact same day.

Join Learning and Development in Reynolda Hall, Room 301, on Thursday, August 27th from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM.  You are welcome to bring your lunch.
