 We all know a great speech when we hear one, but what makes a speech great? In this short course, students will learn how to recognize, plan, structure, research, write, and deliver memorable, effective speeches. We will also explore different types of speeches and the requirements for being a good speechwriter today – from working under pressure, to helping your message break through in a polarized world and fractured media environment. Students will leave with the tools they need to connect with any audience and tell a better story.

 In this five-week practice lab, students will gain skills in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) useful for the resolution of all types of conflict. The basic tools include learning to observe without judgment, to notice the feelings and needs being expressed, and to learn to make effective requests. We will apply NVC both to social justice issues, conflicts, and our own lives. After learning the fundamental language of NVC conflict resolution, we will study the values of some great nonviolent thinkers such as Gandhi and King. We will draw all these resources into workshops on ongoing social issues.

 Risks of Managing a Public Company
Spring 2021  20756 009SEM (1 Units)Open14 / 20Russell HorwitzFr 2:00pm - 4:30pm Web-Based Course
 CEOs and the companies they lead are subject to extraordinary pressures — driven by a more aggressive, politically volatile and low-margin-for-error operating environment. The consequences of not anticipating potential problems or not reacting quickly and thoughtfully enough to emerging issues have never been higher. Congressional, regulatory and legal risk is only increasing as the government responds to the anger and distrust directed at institutions. In fact, public confidence in institutions is at its lowest point since Gallup began polling the question in 1973. At the same time, expectations of how companies conduct themselves in the normal course of their business relative to broader social issues like climate change, income inequality, racial equity, gun control, immigration, etc, only grows. This class will explore two central questions: First, how does a public company manage through reputational scrutiny, or worse, a company specific crisis? Second, how does a company meet the higher societal expectations of its role and responsibilities, and in the process, demonstrate differentiating positioning and behavior? In both cases, we will discuss the lessons, including related to leadership, from recent cases of high profile companies.
