Site Purpose
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]Here you will find detailed steps to bring the ANGLES curriculum to your institution or organization. We have designed the workshop materials so that they can be replicated step-by-step.
We are seeking your feedback on the design of the site (not the content contained within each module) so that we can build a standardized template. Currently, these are workshops from the Boreas Leadership Program at the University of Minnesota but our goal is to add additional workshops and curricula from other institutions.[/vc_column_text]

[vc_column_text]It’s easier than ever to enter the public conversation through a variety of forums such as Facebook, tweets and tirades at your local bar. Still, a well-crafted opinion piece holds sway. If you have the skills, discipline, rigor and leadership to put your ideas out into this more formal public conversation, you can share your viewpoint with thousands or even millions of influential people. This workshop will introduce you to the art of the op-ed, get you started on your very own op-ed and offer ideas on where you can pitch your finished piece. We bring in experts, including editors from major Twin Cities media, to help.

Workshops

ANGLES public skills workshops prepare students to contribute to policy-making and collaborate with others as both colleagues and citizens.
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]Mentors, collaborators, colleagues, teams, networks. Leaders, by definition, don’t work alone. Collaborating with others helps us get things done. This workshop will focus on why networks matter, why communities matter and why mentors matter. You’ll acquire new tools to help you think through your own relationships and how to make them better.
Click here for the Building Communities & Networks curriculum.[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]In this workshop, we focus on how intercultural competence can be used first, as a starting point for self-awareness, and then from there, how this understanding can funnel out through the lens of intercultural competence with other cultural contexts.

[vc_column_text]The legislative process is meant to facilitate public conversations about issues. But it’s pretty confusing. This workshop will help you better understand the legislative process and develop strategies for getting involved. Learn about your legislators and discover tools to help you follow the action. Think through how to do more than write a letter to your elected officials. The workshop focuses on the Minnesota legislative process and is led by a former state legislator.

[vc_column_text]You’ve almost certainly sat through a bad meeting. But have you ever been part of a meeting that feels transformational? Done right, meetings facilitate great work. In this workshop, you will learn and practice new strategies to become a master of meetings. Try out some meeting games, and get ready to harness the contributions of colleagues and collaborators while earning gratitude for not wasting time with bad meetings.

[vc_column_text]We don’t always agree, especially on really important matters. But we still need to make decisions and figure out how to move forward collectively. Strong negotiation skills will help you facilitate decision-making and make you a better leader. This workshop introduces participants to basic principles of negotiation and provides the opportunity for practice. Margaret Kelliher, former speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, teaches this workshop. She’s negotiated state budget deals and taught negotiation at the Humphrey School. Now she’s bringing her unique perspective to Boreas.

2-Day Workshop
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]
Solving environmental challenges requires the best efforts of teams of people with diverse skills and perspectives. The Boreas integrative leadership workshop empowers participants with integrative leadership skills for making meaningful progress on tough problems.
The workshop takes place over two days. Participants learn about leadership practices and then practice and apply them in an experiential, learning lab format. Participants sharpen their abilities to address common challenges in leading diverse groups working on wicked environmental problems, practice conflict management and polarity mapping tools for engaging in thorny environmental dilemmas, learn from examples of successful integrative leadership, and build networks among participants with differing perspectives and skills.

systems thinking and tools workshop develops participants’ ability to deconstruct, describe and address environmental problems using systems tools.[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]
2-Day Workshop
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_column_text]
The complexity of the social, biological and physical worlds often defies human intuition. Few people are prepared to work through the complexity within a discipline, much less through problems that transcend disciplines.
Systems thinking is a set of approaches and modeling tools used to describe and simulate the interactions among components of complex systems. With these tools, systems thinking provides insights into the functioning of systems and solutions to today’s difficult problems. This two-day workshop introduces the vocabulary and skills needed to think about, unravel and build models of real-world problems.
Participants will learn to fend off simplistic and static thinking with tools as diverse as causal loop diagrams, stocks, flows, time lags and simple computer modeling. Connections with leadership challenges will also be part of the mix.
