Innovation in Building Resilience

Fostering Post-Traumatic Growth in Individuals and Teams

Presented by Dr. Christina Coidakis-Barss and Steve Larsen

On-Demand Webinar

2020 has been an intensive year. In addition to how Covid-19 has changed the way we work, civil and political unrest has intensified how organizational leaders connect and control the emotional temperature of their organization. Trauma is now a daily word and challenge facing all leaders at all levels.

As our work environments continue to fill with traumatic events, Covid-19, working remotely, returning to work, furloughs and countless others, we struggle to cultivate a healthy psychologically safe workplace. For example, the September 2020 Harvard Business Review featured an article "Don't Just Lead Your People Out of Trauma, Help Them Grow." It may seem counterintuitive to expect employees to grow during intense times of struggle. However, it is possible through innovative methods of learning.

In this webinar, we share how learning experiences can be designed and developed to positively impact learner mindsets and build resilience.

After this webinar, you will be able to...

  • Explain the various forms of trauma as they present in the workplace
  • Speak to strategies to successfully create a culture of workplace support
  • Share tactics that proactively engage employees  
  • Describe how 3M’s: Meaningful, Memorable & Motivational build resilience
