Are AI tools simplifying your workflow or complicating it?

If it feels like the latter, you likely haven’t yet established a method to evaluate AI output.

Here are four ways to make AI output useful.

The ideas that make it to meetings are often ones people feel ready to defend.

But that pressure to have them figured out can get in the way of innovation. Great ideas need room to be rough, and it’s on organizations to create a culture where people feel safe sharing them.

The belief that cybersecurity is all about coding keeps many from exploring the booming field.

What a run!

We're so proud to celebrate five incredible colleagues as they begin their well-deserved retirement: Sherry, Rejeanne, Carlos, Julie, and Aliya. Their vision and infectious sense of purpose have meant so much to our team and the students they've served.

Wishing them all the joy and adventure this next chapter has in store!

When team chemistry isn’t clicking, it’s often less about the people and more about the process.

In our custom corporate workshops at Concordia Continuing Education, we’ve seen teams spot challenges, strengthen collaboration, and leave with tools that create lasting value at work.

Every team needs a moment to breathe and reflect on what’s working and what isn’t.

Corporate workshops help make that happen.

Digital marketing FOMO can feel paralyzing for business owners.

Every tool feels essential, and the act of choosing can become a distraction from what actually matters: connecting with your audience.

In his classrooms at Concordia Continuing Education, digital marketing strategist M.J. Plebon shows learners how a brand’s unique story is the strongest path to connection.

Why do some workplace interactions feel harder than they should?

Usually, it's because of what's happening beneath them.

Emotional intelligence isn’t often thought of as a professional skill. But under pressure, knowing how to read a room, manage your reactions, and respond constructively determines whether people feel heard or dismissed.

Concordia Continuing Education instructor Kathryn Peterson breaks down the four elements of emotional intelligence and how things improve when we apply them at work.

For digital marketing strategist M. J. Plebon, every campaign starts with one question: what problem are you trying to solve?

Too many businesses skip that step and jump straight to tools and solutions — spending time and money without a clear audience.

At Concordia Continuing Education, Plebon helps learners slow down, define their audience, and craft authentic stories to reach them.
