SUNY Oswego's Division of Extended Learning is offering a professional development opportunity to help employees navigate working from home and other uncertainties they might feel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Working from Home: How to Succeed in Uncertain Times" is a three-week course taught by Sue Conklin that will provide tips in these three 90-minute sessions from noon to 1:30 p.m. on consecutive Wednesdays -- May 13, 20 and 27. The sessions aim to help employees discover the top things to do, and not do, when working from home to make it a successful and productive experience.
Conklin will touch on the following topics with discussion, large and small group sharing, reflection and journaling (responding to topical question prompts).
- Confronting our emotions and fears; dealing with overwhelm and social separation
- Managing work/home boundaries
- Assisting others in dealing with their emotions and fears – our kids/parents/isolated loved ones
Attendees can discover practical how-to strategies. The class will discuss best practices, coping mechanisms, tools and techniques that will provide assistance and relief in this uncertain time. Each session will also address honoring yourself and remembering the importance of self-care.
The course charges a nominal $50 fee. For more information or to register, visit the professional development registration site.
