Competency Growth: Emotional Intelligence

Posted on by

Emotional Intelligence

Skilled: Cool under pressure, does not become defensive or irritated when times are tough, considered mature, can be counted on to hold things together, is not knocked off balance by the unexpected. Is a settling influence in a crisis and sees the positive aspects of all situations. Can demonstrate the ability to recognize and understand emotions in self and others and uses this awareness to manage personal behavior and relationships. Is aware of and promotes diversity of thought and creates an environment of inclusiveness where all people feel welcome in their presence. Adheres to an appropriate and effective set of core values and beliefs during both good and bad times, acts in line with those values. Shows good judgement when making decisions.

Unskilled: Gets rattled and loses cool under pressure and stress. May be reactionary and blow up, say things he/she shouldn’t, gets easily overwhelmed and becomes emotional, defensive or withdrawn. May be sensitive to criticism, may be cynical or moody. May be knocked off balance by surprises, may also contribute to others losing composure or being unsettled.  When challenged may be unwilling to build relationships. Strong individualist with low concern for values of others, may set his/her own rules, and can make others uncomfortable. Behavior may vary too much across situations, may be seen as too self serving.

Congrats, Cheryl Schlimpert; New Position Posted

Posted on by
Team,
I am pleased to share that Cheryl Schlimpert has accepted a role directly supporting Katherine Lane as a member of the ND Trail team and ultimately Special Events and Stewardship. Cheryl has been a valued member of the Annual Giving team for 4 years. Her hard work and can​-​do attitude will be missed and we wish her all the best in this new challenge.
As a result of this change, a newly created position, Associate Director for Data and Analytics, will be posted immediately. Reporting to the Program Director for Data and Analytics with a dotted line to the Senior Director of Annual Giving, this individual will support decision-making in AGSM through the use of strategic analytics and advanced quantitative tools, serving as a key partner to the AGSM team. If you have any recommendations for this critical hire, please feel free to reach out to Mark Dumich or me.
Thank you,
Ryan Brennan

Welcome Grace Morrison

Posted on by

Hello team,

I’m pleased to announce that Grace Morrison will join the NDAA team as Digital Specialist beginning Feb. 23.
Grace will report to Kevin Brennan and fill the role previously occupied by Josh Stowe managing our social media accounts and our digital events, with oversight of the content on myND.
Grace is a St. Mary’s College marketing graduate with a passion for social media. Her enthusiasm for all things digital is contagious. She knows Notre Dame well, an important asset to this position.
She has managed the digital programs for Explore Media, a burgeoning video production team in the region, and Beyond Zen, the yoga studio in Granger. She currently serves as the studio manager at Beyond Zen, managing promotional strategies, sales reports, client activation and retention programs and the retail shop, all while also overseeing their digital efforts. The owners from Explore and Beyond Zen raved about her contributions to their teams. We are excited to put both her organizational skills and digital creative skills to work for our alumni engagement programs.
The interview team, Dolly, and I have really enjoyed getting to know Grace, and we know you will too. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome later in February.
Best, Bill
