Learning & Development Workshop
<p><strong>Connecting the “Why” Conversations | February 20<sup>th </sup>| 9:00 – 11:00 AM</strong></p><p>What do your people want out of life as a result of working for you? A job can be so much more than a paycheck, although very few people intentionally consider what they want out of their work experience. Great leaders recognize the power behind the “why” and help their employees align their personal why with the organization’s mission and values to find greater purpose in their work.</p><p>In this collaborative workshop we will discuss how you can help your team members discover their why, align their work around it and identify their larger purpose within the organization. As a result employees will find greater meaning and motivation from the work they are doing every day. </p><p>http://clickstop.com/the-leading-edge-leadership-development-workshops/</p> 2019-01-16 11:00:00 -0600

Religion vs. Science? Don't Believe It
<p>Popular culture, public discourse, and the media are pervaded by endlessly reiterated claims that science and religion are incompatible. But do they represent antagonistic worldviews, the one based on reason and evidence, the other on faith and the rejection of evidence? This self-serving misrepresentation depends on mistaken assumptions about what the natural sciences can and cannot explain, as well as on a cartoonish view of "religion" that makes no distinctions among different religious traditions or theological claims. This lecture will show how the assumption that science and religion are inherently conflictual is mistaken—and how properly understood, whatever is true about the natural world does not and cannot conflict with true religion.</p><p><strong>Dr. Brad Gregory</strong> | Professor of History and Dorothy G. Griffin Collegiate Chair, University of Notre Dame</p><p>This event is a part of the 2019 Spring Lecture Series: Faith/Reason/Science: Friends or Foes?</p><p>More Info: https://www.mtmercy.edu/faith-reason</p>2/21/197:00 p.m.Mount Mercy University, Chapel of MercyCedar Rapids -

Behind the Beat
<p>This presentation uses music to explore African American history, from the African beats to the jazz of the Harlem Renaissance to the popular music of the Civil Rights movement. The influences of traditional African music can be seen in the spirituals sung by African Americans while they worked as slaves, elements of spirituals can be found in blues, blue led way to jazz, jazz spurred on R&B, rock and roll, hip hop, and other forms of modern music. Each musical style has ties to history, such as jazz and the Harlem Renaissance or Motown and the Civil Rights Movement. To understand history, you just have to look Behind the Beat!</p><p><strong>About the Series:</strong></p><p>Join us at the Museum for free monthly presentations by Sean Donaldson, Museum Educator. These one-hour presentations will focus on a variety of topics ranging from broad African American history and the evolution of African american music, to Iowa’s African Americans in sports and African American holiday traditions. With twelve opportunities to explore, you won’t be disappointed.</p> 2019-01-18 20:00:00 -0600
