Overview
*Note - this course has been revised and is now open for registration!
In 2020 PowerED™ launched the course Navigating Extraordinary Times to support leaders with strategies and resources to cope in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the outset, the pandemic created turbulence for many, and called for agility, empathy, and resilience. These same skills and mindsets hold true today as the world has adjusted to a new normal that has been carved in the wake of the pandemic.
Other extraordinary events—from climate change, economic fluctuations, unrest, and war—have created changes we would not have anticipated, and has altered our views on how we work, set goals and work as teams. As a result, we are re-releasing this course with a broader scope in mind.
“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.
