I am sort of new to Extension as a professional. I am very familiar with 4-H, ag ed, and many aspects of the "business" we call extension. My position is program coordinator. I have had some discussions with a few colleagues and friends about what skills and tools we need in order to be successful. Our feelings are that we need better business skills to make this really work well. Just interested in what you determine are “tools” for the Ext. professional.

The current Workforce Preparation project on eXtension has stimulated dialogue about issues beyond the tech tools. The added focus on the necessity of applied skills as a precondition for further learning and transferring knowledge, speaks to the challenge for organizational development and change. It leads to questions about how to approach the embedded attitudes of resistance. Cutting edge technology and University Extension are a great fit.
