Special Workshop for Continuing Employees

Moving Forward after Layoffs—Rebuilding & Renewal

As colleagues leave, there is the grief of goodbyes, the anxiety of change, and the loss of trust. How does one begin to heal and begin the transition? What is the process of re-kindling trust in the organization? How does one cope with the anxiety of mastering new tasks being added onto the present workload? These are all complicated issues that deserve time for thoughtful discussion. Join Sue Covey in an interactive presentation exploring strategies and guidelines for navigating this period of transition.

This hour and a half workshop is offered on:

September 16 | Wednesday | 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. | HUB
November 4 | Wednesday | 10:00–11:30 a.m. | HUB | Register for Session C
