Miami Presents: Dealing with Change -- A Self-Leadership Perspective

We’ve all heard it before: “Change is inevitable.” Sometimes, however, the change is so abrupt and drastic that it can be tough to handle. Unfortunately, this is exactly where we find ourselves amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone is scrambling to deal with chaos and uncertainty. In this interactive webinar, Dr. Scott Dust (Miami University, Farmer School of Business) draws upon social science research to give you practical recommendations on how to cope with stress and leverage your strengths in order to survive and thrive in the current environment. In the webinar, Dr. Dust will cover an assortment of topics from a self-leadership perspective, including crisis leadership, coping mechanisms, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and career management.
