How to (actually) increase your resilience, your grit and your ability to manage
·OnlineOnlineImportant note: to receive the call details, you must RSVP using this link (e.g. RSVP'ing through Eventbrite won't give you access).
- Are you weary with all the conflict, division and distractions in the world?
- Are you needing a jolt to keep you going despite the despondence?
- Are you in a leadership role or wanna be a leader and are sorely in need of some new tools to motivate yourself and others?
This is a particularly challenging time.
The stakes are high. And so is the division.
And all of that takes a mighty toll. On everyone. Including you.
But don’t despair. Help is a Roundtable away.
In this free workshop with me, Lee-Anne Ragan, on May 21st you’ll:
- Diagnose where you most need support so you can apply your learning to suit those very needs
- Discover six simple tools to help you increase your resilience, your grit and your ability to manage change
- Come away feeling inspired, and hopeful, with a workbook chockablock full of helpful resources, including the audio and video recording and one simple URL that opens up all the workshop resources
- Gain access to 13+ years of Learning and Development Roundtable resources
- Count the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend, any and all are welcome)
RSVP using this link by May 19th. Then watch your inbox for our agenda and how to participate online.
