Power60: NCCI’s Online Professional Development Sessions
NCCI’s Power60 Professional Development Sessions (formerly called Coffee Breaks) are a series of hour-long webinar discussions led by higher education thought leaders. Power60s are held monthly, with the exception of July and December, due to the NCCI Annual Conference and holidays, respectively. The webinars are open to the public. They are a great way for non-member institutions to better understand the value that NCCI could bring to their institutions. While there are no fees to participate, registration is necessary. Below you can register for upcoming Power60s or view information of past webinars.

Diversity Intersectionality: The Exponential Impact and the Lived Experience | January 28, 1 p.m. Eastern
When we talk about truly ensuring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in our environments, understanding and considering Intersectionality and its exponential impact is critically important. Kimberlé Crenshaw’s work about the persistence of inequalities introduced Intersectionality theory, which is now more formally defined as the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (including but not limited to racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap and intersect in the experiences of individuals and groups. This session will engage participants experientially and provide insights on how to address this in our environments.Attendees will experience insightful exercises and leave the session able to facilitate a few short, tried-and-true exercises that help to teach this theory/lived experience. These methods are highly informative, emphasize the impact and – in a space where self-reflection is important and can be tough – are a nice balance of challenge/support backed by other tools. The exercises include 7/11, Measure, and Stepping Out & In.
Please note that we will not be recording this session to allow for a brave space.
Let’s Take This Moment to Work On… Our Lives | February 18, 1 p.m. Eastern
When was the last time you paused to work on your life?
Let’s take this moment… How Are You? As we move forward in 2021 and beyond, and you reflect on yourself as a person, partner, family member, colleague, leader – Who Do You Want to See?
There is no question that 2020 has disrupted all our lives and our institutions’ ways of functioning. The pandemic has also reinforced that we are inseparable from our personal and professional environments. We continually face and may need to address new levels of challenges, emotions continue to be especially intense, and more is expected of us to perform.
How do we move throughout the day to successfully perform in our careers and be fully present for our personal needs?
In this session, Olga will offer some daily and impactful practices on how we can move throughout the day to perform in our careers and be present for our personal needs. The workshop will have two parts: the first hour will primarily present a framework with examples relevant to our personal and professional environments. The second part will create space for group exchanges as well as Q&A. If you have any questions prior to the session, feel free to reach out directly to Olga.Presented by: Olga Kipnis, Assistant Dean for Organizational Excellence, School of Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis
What is the Balanced Scorecard and How Can It Be Applied to Higher Education (Part 1) | March 25, 1 p.m. Eastern
Thursday, March 25 at 1–2 p.m. Eastern
The Balanced Scorecard is one of the best known strategy frameworks ever created, used by thousands of organizations since its creation by Robert Kaplan and David Norton. The Balanced Scorecard essentially asks organizations to create a set of internal metrics that will help them understand and assess their performance in 4 key areas (people, customers, internal processes, and financial). Despite its global popularity, the balanced scorecard has not been widely applied to higher education.
Part 1 of this two-part series, Angela will review why this framework makes sense for higher education as part of strategy management at a unit, department, or university level and show its benefits. Angela will provide a step-by-step overview of how to start a Balanced Scorecard, including tips on how to avoid common mistakes. We will also discuss challenges of implementing the Balanced Scorecard and ways to overcome them.
Part 2 of this two-part series (on April 22) will cover how to think about KPIs and measures of success to monitor performance in these 4 key Balanced Scorecard areas. Angela will introduce the concept of cascaded balanced scorecards to make strategy real for every individual. This session will be interactive and breakout sessions will encourage sharing of ideas.
