There is still time to book a U of I Extension Community and Economic Development Education Program during the summer months. Valerie Belusko is the educator for these programs that she says can take whatever agency, organization, or non-profit you have and introduce positive forms of teamwork, communication, and goal setting.

Valerie Belusko speaks on five different programs that are offered that include, exploration of career paths, journaling for inspiration and empowerment, setting SMART goals, boosting resilience, and time management.

Belusko says organizations can benefit from setting SMART goals, an acronym that creates a framework for proper goal setting to create a sense of success in a workplace.

Belusko shares some of the groups that have utilized these programs to give team members a boost of confidence or education.

You can call Valerie Belusko for program information at 217-532-3941.
