Tuesday, March 10, 2026

9 am to 12 pm

Facilitator: Lisa Griffith

Bryant University, Academic Hall Rm MRC3

In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, disorganization—both digital and physical—can lead to missed opportunities, wasted time, and unnecessary stress. Many people feel stuck between cluttered digital files, overflowing inboxes, and stacks of paper they’re afraid to let go of. This interactive workshop addresses these common pain points by exploring how to organize digital information effectively while also evaluating the role of paper tools in a modern workflow.

Participants will learn best practices for managing digital documents, taming email overload, optimizing cloud storage, and selecting the most useful digital tools such as apps and software. At the same time, the session explores the benefits and drawbacks of paper-based systems and how a thoughtful hybrid approach can offer the best of both worlds. Practical organizational techniques for both digital and paper information are covered with an emphasis on simplifying workflows, improving follow-through, and reducing daily overwhelm.

This presentation is not platform-specific and focuses on universal strategies for both work and personal life. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to choose, combine, and sustain organizing systems that match their work style, goals, and environment—so they can regain control, boost productivity, and de-stress their daily routines.

Setting goals within your sphere and helping employees set and reach goals is a critical part of every manager’s job. Staff members at all levels want to see how their work contributes to the larger Organizational strategy, and setting the right targets makes this connection clear for everyone.

For goals to be meaningful and effective in motivating employees, they must be tied to the larger organizational vision. Employees who don’t understand the roles they play in the success of the Organization are more likely to become disengaged. By setting goals at the division, department and individual level that are clearly in alignment with the Organization’s strategic plan and vision, the likelihood of achieving the goals and obtaining the necessary resources is greatly enhanced. In this session, managers/supervisors will learn how to:

• Set effective goals and coach employees to do the same

• Bridge the gap beginning with organizational level strategy and ending with individual goal setting

• Act as a translator for your staff—making sure employees understand the Organizational mission, values and strategy and how their day-to-day tasks fit into the big picture.
