In this short course, author and business coach Todd Dewett explains how you can harness the power of change and benefit those around you by avoiding quick reactions, adopting a positive attitude, and developing a 30-day plan to integrate change.
In the workplace, stress is often viewed in purely negative terms. It's seen as a response that should simply be minimized or pushed aside; however, it's possible to use stress to fuel positive change. In this course, join instructor Heidi Hanna, PhD as she discusses what stress is, exactly; how you can train yourself to use stress in more effective ways; and what managers can do to reduce employee stress when an organization experiences difficult times. She covers how individuals can use stress for good by assessing and adjusting it, as well as what you-as a manager-can do to create an environment and communication style that helps connect employees to the bigger picture.
Resilience is one of the most common traits of successful, happy people. Developing your resilience will not only help you to cope with challenging situations, but it can help you reach peak performance and enhance satisfaction, both in your personal and professional life. Learn how to get an edge at work and build your ability to thrive in the midst of obstacles, changes, and setbacks, by investing in the six pillars of resilience. Executive coach and author Gemma Leigh Roberts shows how to create a proactive plan to build your resilience, maintain it in the face of challenges, and track your progress over time.
There is plenty of opportunity to innovate even in traditional, top-down companies—even in traditionally "non-innovative" roles. Learn how to become an entrepreneur and lead innovation and change from inside a company. In this course, strategy consultant Robbie Baxter explains what entrepreneurship is and how innovation works inside a large organization. Discover how to gauge whether your company is ready for disruption, how to find and test ideas, how to get resources and buy-in from leadership, and how to scale your ideas so they are feasible for the entire enterprise. Robbie also discusses when to throw in the towel and when to pass off projects. Finally, she shares a few examples of successful entrepreneurship, from organizations as diverse as Adobe and the University of Pennsylvania.
