SUMMARY:Convene Webinar: How to Work with (Almost) Anyone
DESCRIPTION:Convene Webinar: How to Work with (Almost) Anyone\nJuly 18\, 2024 \n10:30am-11:30am \n\nYour happiness and your success depend on your working relationships.\n\n\nHow well you work with your boss.\nThe people you manage. \nThe way collaboration happens with colleagues and peers.\nHow you connect with clients and the people you serve.\n\n\n \n\n\nBut the hard truth is this: most of us leave the health and fate of these relationships to chance.

But many relationships become suboptimal at some point\, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Every working relationship can be better. In this webinar Michael Bungay Stanier will show you how to build the best possible relationships.\n\n \n\nYou will learn: (Learning Objectives)\n\n\n5 powerful questions that deepen trust.\nHow to set relationships up for success from the beginning.\nHow to maintain relationships so they thrive.\nHow to rebuild poor relationships.\n\n  \nREGISTRATION INFORMATION  \nRegister Here \nDistrict Employees should select the National Conservation District Employees Association as their organization to register.

SUMMARY:Yesterday's Phosphorus\, Today's Water Quality Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Conservation Outcomes Webinar: Yesterday’s Phosphorus\, Today’s Water Quality: Conservation Insights from the USDA Legacy Phosphorus Assessment Webinar\nAugust 22\, 2024 \n12:00pm-1:00pm \nPhosphorus\, a critical fertilizer nutrient required for crop production\, can trigger unwanted changes to aquatic systems when it ends up in our water bodies. For producers and conservationists\, testing the soil and managing today’s additions of phosphorus in fertilizer and manure is just the first important step. Historical sources of phosphorus accumulate in soils\, wetlands\, and streams. As a result\, today’s water quality may reflect a phosphorus legacy that doesn’t readily respond only to SMART Nutrient Management. Mitigating legacy phosphorus requires targeted conservation in fields\, at the edges of fields\, and in watersheds. This may require new approaches to conservation. \nDr. Peter Kleinman will share recent insights from USDA’s Legacy Phosphorus Assessment Project during our free\, one-hour Conservation Outcomes Webinar. Dr. Kleinman is a Research Leader with USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Fort Collins\, Colorado. He coordinates this collaborative effort between USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and ARS to advance the science\, innovation\, and forecasting of legacy phosphorus mitigation strategies and ultimately support water quality improvements. Findings will be presented from Conservation Effects Assessment Project watersheds within the Chesapeake Bay\, Lake Champlain\, Lake Erie\, Mississippi River\, and Snake River. Producers\, conservationists\, and researchers may use the conservation insights shared during this webinar to strengthen legacy phosphorus mitigation efforts and improve water quality nationwide. \nMicrosoft Teams Information: \nRegistration is not required. Access the webinar via Microsoft Teams shortly before 2:00 p.m. eastern on August 22 by clicking “Join Webinar\,” below. Users on smartphones may need to download Microsoft Teams in advance. \nYou may also join via audio only: \nPhone Number: 202-650-0123\nPhone Conference ID: 502 499 365# \nJoin Here
