*When I first began this course in April 2020, I was talking about the changes and stressors in our lives and how to utilize empathy for ourselves and others. In 2022, we are seeing even more change occur. People left jobs and continue to resign. The effects of climate change abound and even more innovation is necessary to reduce carbon footprint and engage our teams with these processes for the greater good. How does this occur? The concepts taught in this course will help keep us grounded throughout the course of the next decade.*

Bonus Lectures will continue to address these topics as more events occur to shift our focus. How do we talk to our teams about mental health? Did you know this was recently cited as a reason for the Great Resignation? A high percentage of employees noted they want to talk about mental health in their work environments. Employers have done an excellent job providing resources with flexibility for time off. People want their work culture to address their concerns. Leaders, you are now the therapist, and you were not trained for this. In the bonus lectures, I begin to address this more and more.
