Everyone is born with an initial thinking style that can be recognized by their age at walking. This session is based upon Robert Alan Black's ""Thinking Style"" instrument, M.I.N.D. Design, initially created in 1982. His post-doc study concerned 300 different thinking-style instruments and discovered correlation scores ranging from 0.90 to 0.94, meaning that people mostly obtain the same results using a large variety of question styles. This session will include how to use Thinking Style Knowledge to: lead people productively; communicate effectively; team successfully as a member or leader; create large numbers of Ideas and generate many potential solutions.

Public speaking is a skill feared by most people. However, when safely handled during a presentation, live animals (such as turtles, salamanders, and non-venomous snakes) can take the attention off of the presenter and make his or her style more conversational. Come join Ranger Nick, a Professor and Associate Dean at UGA, as he shares techniques for using live animals as ambassadors of environmental messages. He will also share tips for encouraging positive, pro-environmental behavior change as a speaker.

This class concerns an historically-based family biography. Son of Polish immigrants, a 21-year old Army Air Force Staff Sargent had a life-long struggle with trauma that started when his B-17 aircraft was shot down by a German fighter over Berlin in 1944. He was on his 18th mission. Presenter Perkins’ book details her father’s survival as a POW for 14 months in three German concentration camps and the 83-day ‘Long March’ across Poland and Germany in the harsh winter of 1945. The severe and persistent war traumas her father endured were horrific, and his journey was difficult and life changing.
