MCRO 350V - Leadership Well-being and Resilience Skills Micro-Credential
Course Description
Well-being practices for leaders are essential to ensure you maintain your physical, mental, and emotional health, positively impacting your leadership abilities and the overall success of your organization. The COVID-19 pandemic increased recognition of the mental health implications in the workplace. For leaders, this entails a dual responsibility. Firstly, recognizing and addressing our well-being is essential to ensuring we perform at our best. Secondly, comprehending and offering support to team members facing various challenges in their daily well-being is equally vital. Effective leadership necessitates developing a strong strategy combining humility, courage, and compassion.
Wherever participants may be located, the online three-day facilitated Micro-Credential in Well-being Practices for Leaders is designed for all leadership levels who desire to improve their own workplace well-being and bring well-being to their team. Learners will gain the tools to grow and positively impact their workplace.
