Sustaining journalism by enhancing journalists’ well-being
LEADING IN A DIGITAL WORLD: MAINTAINING RESILIENCE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
With support from:
This online training is designed for media managers who feel increasingly uncertain, demotivated, or even overwhelmed by the demands they face as a result of the way the pandemic has affected their own and their teams’ ways of working. It offers a supportive space for participants to learn to lead with greater self-awareness and to integrate tools to manage stress, enhance digital wellness and strengthen resilience. This will mean that a focus on well-being becomes part of your routine and that of your team, rather than a distant luxury.
Participants will meet once a week, at 4pm CET on Wednesdays, over a period of nine weeks to:
- LEARN practical tools covering four topics during 90-minute training sessions every other week.
- PRACTICE and reflect during a 60-minute workshop on the weeks in between.
- DEEPEN with the support of trainers and peers and optionally, with the support of a coach. (Note: Coaching sessions are optional at discounted rates.)
