Upcoming Power60 Webinars

Lessons Learned at Home: Empathy & Planning | September 28

Tuesday, September 28 at 1 p.m. Eastern

Regardless of your individual circumstance, a global pandemic over the last 18 months has caused a shift in work-life integration as we have been invited into the homes of our co-workers and our students. Colleges, universities, and their employees have learned many lessons during this time away from the campus. A remote work option has never been considered the norm or even a possibility in many cases before now. Do you have questions about what others have experienced as remote employees? Are you wanting to have a conversation about remaining a remote worker? Do you need ideas on how to navigate your next step?

Join Heather Zink, Director of Academic Technology at Rasmussen University, for a Power60 session where she shares her story about working remotely for over a decade before the pandemic forced everyone else away from the campus and an opportunity to discuss empathy as a skill necessary for building a better normal. We hope you’ll join Heather for a session built around self-reflection and action planning that might help guide you into the next phase of higher ed delivery, a better normal for all.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
• Discuss possible return-to-work scenarios.
• Describe strategies for developing empathy at work.
• Create an individual plan for a ‘better normal’ path work environment.

Recalibration: Tools for Creating a Better Normal | October 28

Thursday, October 28 at 1 p.m. Eastern

In this interactive workshop, a variety of tools for creating a ‘better normal’ post COVID will be shared. Participants will draft plans for their institution, division, or department based on their unique environmental and cultural contexts.

Learning Outcomes:
Participants will be able to:
• Identify cultural factors that enable or hinder successful recalibration;
• Develop a high level change plan for recalibration;
• Assess critical virtual leadership skills.
