Managing a Budget at Queen’s: A Departmental Perspective clmg Fri, 11/01/2024 - 11:45

Do you manage operational, trust, revenue-generating, or endowment accounts at Queen’s? Are there so many terms and acronyms that things are a bit hazy? Is the annual budgeting process a bit of a mystery or you’d like to learn more?

Join Sarah Indewey MPA, Department Manager for Psychology and the community-facing Psychology Clinic for practical tips and tricks from the field. Ms. Indewey has been managing financial processes for over 20 years at Queen’s, from generating revenue in Advancement, to managing over $40M in research funds, and $10M in operating accounts.

This virtual session will be a practical conversation, absent of acronyms and jargon, focused on actionable advice from someone who has been there. Our desired outcome is less budget-related stress for you and to develop a network of people you can turn to for advice. Additional financial learning resources and a bit about broader public-sector financial management will also be provided.

This virtual session is being presented at no cost by Queen’s Advancing Leadership Group (formerly “FLAG”) in partnership with Queen’s Human Resources. Please RSVP early, and a calendar invitation will follow. Registration will close on Friday, November 15.

3 x 4 Coaching - Continuing the Conversation gallinit Mon, 11/21/2022 - 05:23

For those of you who have taken the initial 3 x 4 Coaching sessions with Peggy this will be an add-on to continue the conversation. For those of you who have not had the opportunity, this will be a great introduction to this important work.

This session will actively engage in using tools and practicing skills within the 3 x 4 Coaching Journey. Our time will start with a fun competitive team activity that emulates the pressure of high stakes situations at work, allowing participants to gain self-awareness of their default behaviours under pressure and to recognize the discipline that coaching requires. We will also explore how to use these coaching skills with peers to establish a coaching community of practice. The session will finish with an exploration of where to focus your coaching and how to stay on track.

A calendar booking has been sent to all FLAG members. If you are interested in this event and are not currently a FLAG member, please do join! You can also email Shannon Hill to register interest.
