Today's talk is Inside the mind of a master procrastinator by Tim Urban. Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn't make sense, but he's never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. In this hilarious and insightful talk, Urban takes us on a journey through YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and bouts of staring out the window -- and encourages us to think harder about what we're really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.
Join us for a celebration of service! The Department of Human Resources cordially invites you to this year’s 2021 Virtual Annual Service Awards Ceremony. To ensure safety and comfort, we are again coming together virtually this year to connect, shout out, and support our colleagues in a celebration of their important milestones at UMBC and The State of Maryland.
We have planned a fun, exciting, and engaging experience just as last year. We will still include the same heart-warming stories, recipient and special awardee acknowledgments, and prizes that you’ve come to expect, and NEW this year will be a fun, interactive trivia game, Kahoot, as well as some special leadership messages! For more information check out our HR Service Awards Website!
Today's talk is Why we get mad - and why it’s healthy by Ryan Martin. Anger researcher Ryan Martin draws from a career studying what makes people mad to explain some of the cognitive processes behind anger -- and why a healthy dose of it can actually be useful. "Your anger exists in you ... because it offered your ancestors, both human and nonhuman, an evolutionary advantage," he says. "[It's] a powerful and healthy force in your life."
