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.)
MANAGE STRESS AND DIGITAL OVERLOAD
English editions in partnership with:
This online course is designed to help journalists learn how to relate to stress and digital overload in a more supportive way. This means transforming unhelpful habits. And changing habits is like learning a new sport. You’ll have four weeks to learn and practice new moves and to integrate them into everyday life. You decide how often you want to join, although we encourage you to attend as many meetups as possible.
- LEARN the new moves during the 90-minute webinar.
- PRACTICE with the trainers and other journalists during weekly 30-minute meetups.
- DEEPEN by taking the moves into the game of life and if you want, investigating your specific needs with a personal development coach. (Note: Limited coaching sessions available, first come, first served.)
