00536 Changing the Narrative around Aging in the Wellness Industry
Wednesday, June 7, 2023
11:00AM - 12:00PM 
ucidce.zoom.us
There is a global movement underway toward positive aging and combatting ageism. Rethinking ageist language and motives is essential to deliver on the promise of wellness, and it starts by looking at your own beliefs. Please join wellness and hospitality expert Nancy Griffin, MMH, as she explores how spa and wellness professionals can work to improve on ageist language and protocols that promote negative perceptions of aging. We explore the concept of ageism, why the promotion of youth culture is rampant in wellness and beauty, and how spas and other wellness providers can create treatments and products to target older adults. Moving Wellness from ME to WE encourages acceptance of people of all ages, while providing opportunities for connection and community. This webinar will include pre-registration advisement for individuals interested in UCI DCE’s fully online Spa and Wellness Management Certificate Program. Visit ce.uci.edu/spa for more information.

According to the Project Management Institute’s Talent Gap report, nearly 2.3 million project management-related roles will need to be filled, each year, through 2030. As organizations have become more focused on outcomes, project managers and teams are being empowered to lead and deliver change.

Reskilling and upskilling for up and coming and seasoned project managers is important because business has changed, meaning the demands of project outcomes also have changed. The market preference is to hire someone that has gained the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification.

This webinar will help participants understand the current landscape of project management and how the role is quickly evolving and elevating. In addition, the case will be made that a clear understanding and working knowledge of PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge, 7th Edition, is important as projects continue to become more complex, and business depends on the expertise of a project management team.

This webinar will be hosted by Hosted by Julie Cuervo, PMP®, Senior Director, Program Management, New Product Development, Transcatheter Heart Valves at Edwards Lifesciences.
