Events
Overview: We have an opportunity to use experience, a pandemic, and data to inform how we cultivate our greatest assets – our people. Before we can “reopen” our districts (as if they were ever closed), we have to address the anxieties, fears, languishing, burnout and uncertainties of the past year. If we don’t, then we are literally asking our people to walk out of a burning building, shake it off, and build a new building. We can do better. But don’t say we didn’t warn you: this session will talk about processing emotions and understanding weaknesses as well as utilization of data and recognition of history.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn tactical approaches to restructuring your human working experience. From new employees to tenured team members, are you listening to everyone?
- Discuss the various ways of returning to work and what the data points to, as far as the most successful approaches.
- Redesign your approach to meetings and gatherings with your team and your board of directors.
