October is keeping us busy at the CSAC Institute, with plenty of opportunities to learn, connect,
and grow!
This week, we're looking ahead to Navigating New Frontiers in Technology, reflecting on the
final course of our 2026 Geeking Out Series, and showcasing upcoming courses and
specialized training opportunities designed to support county professionals across California!
Upcoming Course Spotlight
Join us on Thursday, October 29th, 2026, for a day of learning and exploration!

GO7 Reflections: Closing Out Our 2026 Geeking Out Series
On October 9th, we wrapped up our 2026 Geeking Out Series with GO7: How County Leaders
Win Us Over: 13 Proven Tactics for Inspiring and Influencing Others, facilitated by Ulrich
Jensen, PhD!
Throughout the session, county professionals explored the science behind charisma and
influence, discovering practical strategies for building trust, inspiring others, and strengthening
their leadership approach.
One participant shared a key takeaway they plan to reflect on and put into practice:
“Seeing charisma as a set of tools and not a set personality trait.”
What a great way to close out this year's Geeking Out Series!
Thank you to Ulrich and everyone who joined us for a season of learning, exploration, and
connection. We look forward to continuing these conversations and bringing new opportunities
for learning to county professionals!
