Leadership Espresso – Conversations to Build Resilience Part 1
About the session:
These are unprecedented times, the only conversations we are hearing are those about COVID-19. We are juggling work and personal lives that are more disruptive, stressful, and ever changing with often increasing demands. This 90-minute leadership espresso is for anyone who wants to know how to manage sensitive conversations to support their teams and colleagues when working under pressure.
You will be invited to share experiences and commit to an action to take back into your workplace to apply your learning in a tangible way.
What will be covered?
During the session we will be:
- Exploring factors that influence an individuals’ ability to manage the challenges of extreme pressure
- Identifying ways to create a safe space for supportive conversations when dealing with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of stress/anxiety/depression/burnout
- Discussing ways to provide feedback and support for staff experiencing symptoms of stress/anxiety/depression/burnout

- Sharing learnings and discussing strategies to encourage staff to engage in support services when appropriate
