When most people think of leadership, taking CARE of ourselves and others may not be one of the skills that immediately comes to mind. But effective CARE of self is a critical leadership skill that provides the foundation to help us and the people at home, in our workplaces and communities to be resilient through crises and beyond.
Over the past year and a half, I have spoken with more than 700 people around the globe about their experiences living and leading through the ongoing global pandemic. They told me about the strategies that they are using to be their best selves, and what they are doing to take care of themselves and others. This research has evolved into the CARE Model. CARE stands for Connect, Adapt, Routinize and Exercise. It provides a framework for building resilience while bolstering our ability to be our best selves, as we lead and manage in our families, workplaces, and communities through any type of crisis and beyond.
This session is designed to help you:
- Reflect on your approach to building and sustaining resilience in yourself and others;
- Identify the areas where you are doing well and where you need more focus and exploration;
- Discuss opportunities for supporting each other.
