This workshop is being offered by the Learning & Development team. For Faculty and Staff How to prioritize, and if necessary, diplomatically negotiate expectations on some incoming demands on your time. Now, more than ever, we need to accept that no one can do it all and make everyone happy. We’re all facing more change, faster than ever, and simply adding everything to our to-do list is not a productive, or sustainable, approach. Navigating change means having thought-out, courageous conversations about what is, and what is not a priority.

Author of "The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth,” and professor at Harvard Business School, Amy Edmondson first identified the concept of psychological safety in work teams in 1999. Since then, she has observed how companies with a trusting workplace perform better. Psychological safety isn't about being nice, she says. It’s about giving candid feedback, openly admitting mistakes, and learning from each other. And she argues that kind of organizational culture is increasingly important in the modern economy.

This webinar is hosted by CMHA WW for community members. Resilience is our ability to adapt and bounce back when things don’t go as planned and life knocks us down. Resilient people don’t dwell on failures; they acknowledge the situation, learn from their mistakes, and then move forward.  Resilience is a process, not a personality trait.  We can all learn to strengthen our existing skills and develop a resilient mindset and attitude. Join us for this one hour webinar to look at tips and strategies to build your bounce back factor.
