💜 Friend of Main Street Spotlight: Winona State University

Strong businesses need strong leaders—and developing those leaders is one of the ways Winona State University helps support our local workforce and business community.

Through professional and continuing education opportunities, WSU provides resources designed to help people build skills they can put to work right away. One upcoming example is Creating Thriving Environments, a virtual program focused on helping supervisors navigate some of the very real challenges that come with leading people.

Employee stress. Difficult conversations. Performance concerns. Workplace tension. How a supervisor responds can shape both the employee experience and the environment of the entire team.

Creating Thriving Environments offers practical strategies to help supervisors navigate stress, strengthen employee performance, and create workplaces where people can succeed.

💻 Virtual
📅 October 20–November 10

As a Friend of Main Street, WSU’s investment in our community goes beyond campus. By creating opportunities for continued learning and professional development, they’re helping strengthen the people and organizations that keep Winona moving forward.

Thank you, Winona State University, for your continued investment in our workforce, businesses, and community. 💛 Winona State University
