Physical Distancing and working remotely have become a reality due to COVID-19. New challenges for how teams and leaders interact and engage as a business are shifting and arising daily. Some workplaces have been forced to respond quickly in the face of the emerging crisis, adopting remote work strategies where possible, and reimagining product and service offerings where necessary. Others are facing new challenges as they work to keep essential services active and available. The wealth of information and constant updates can become overwhelming, so focusing on tangible and realistic solutions are more important than ever.
This free, online, self-directed micro-course has been created to provide you with strategies, tools, and frameworks to successfully navigate the new realities introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The course was refreshingly optimistic and inspiring. There were many ah-ha moments for me - but the one that stands out most is recognizing that not everyone uses the same coping mechanisms during these extraordinary times. As a teammate and leader, we need to be mindful of what others may be going through and practice empathy with each other. The supporting videos and articles gave tangible takeaways that I will be able to implement immediately in both my personal and professional life.” ~ Sara, Marketing Coordinator, PowerED™ learner.

"The course was like a warm hug going through it and I felt my stress level decrease as I went further into the sections on empathy, vulnerability and resiliency. It was great to immerse myself in the idea that these are essential “business” skills that are truly valued now, not taken for granted or seen as weakness in this context." ~ Julia, Manager, Development Services, PowerED™ learner.
