The dust has settled. We’re emerging from our bubbles – some of us optimistic, some cautious, some shattered. All going well, many of us will soon head back to our offices, our factories, our universities, our small businesses. Some will be yearning to get back to normal routines. Others are using this experience as a chance to reboot their lives - rediscovering parts of themselves long forgotten or neglected. Everyone’s needs, and everyone’s priorities, have changed.
 
So now what?
 
Over the past few months we’ve heard a lot about crisis leadership, but what makes an effective leader once the initial crisis has passed? As Winston Churchill said on turning the Nazi tide and winning at El Alamein:  Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
 
In this expert panel webinar we’ll discuss ways to guide your team through the post-crisis world, as well as ways to support your own self-leadership. We'll also be taking questions from you, our virtual audience.
 
Leading your team:

• What makes a good leader post-crisis?
• How to create a work environment where people can feel secure, thrive and flourish
• How to engage and motivate your team through times of uncertainty, fear and difficult decisions
• How to stay strategic while being reactive - when should crisis leadership end?
• The models of leadership emerging in response to this global catastrophe

 
Leading Yourself:

• Ok, I’m done surviving, now how do I get back to thriving?
• Dealing with anxiety and avoiding burnout
• How to demonstrate calm and optimism to your team - even if you don’t feel it
• How to handle challenges to your ethics and values when speaking up could cost your job
• How to set concrete goals for yourself in an uncertain future
