Working Remotely? Here are some Linkedin Learning courses to support you in this transition.
The Challenge of Working from Home
Leading Your Team Through Change
ODE Staff Linkedin Learning Recommendations
Sony Simon, ODE Leadership Programs Coordinator, Recommends:
I recommend “The challenge of working from home.” This session gives tips to help with the challenges we are facing, while working remotely, during this pandemic. Working from home is a challenge in itself for many people at this time with balancing family life and work. The tips that are given will help you to manage your time working from home versus working from your office. This session gives tips to help minimize distractions and manage your time wisely.
Amanda Fisher, ODE Senior Learning and Development Specialist, Recommends:
I recommend “Leading Your Team Through Change”. This session helped me to reflect on dealing with change from two perspectives: that of a leader, and that of someone who can lead from within their role as a team member. When I came back from maternity leave, I went through a great deal of change professionally and personally. As I reflect on the changes I am experiencing now, reviewing this video helped me to visualize the role I play in the process of change and the fluid nature of change. I also liked the presenter’s personal stories on how he used change strategies to help him to achieve real results!
Shannon Williams, ODE Organizational Development Consultant, Recommends:
I recommend In light of recent transitions to working remotely, stress can easily build as we strive to navigate personal and professional demands. Managing our stress now may be more challenging than ever. The De-stress: Meditation and Movement for Stress Management session offers quick, practical techniques to help relieve a little stress during the day.
Suzanne Gravois, ODE LMS Administrator & Learning Technology Consultant, Recommends:
I recommend the course “Leading Virtual Meetings”. If you are new to conducting online meetings, it can certainly be a challenge when you are learning to use new applications, dealing with personal networks and other hardware. Learn to make these meetings successful and encourage participation from your team.
Denise H. Winchester, UNT Health Science Center Campus, HR Intern, Recommends:
I recommend the following LinkedIn Learning courses:
"6 Morning habits of High Performers". This 23 minute course suggests that we commit to one or more of the Six habits each day to increase daily performance that will be beneficial in professional or personal life. The acronym used to describe the habits is SAVERS, and they are silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading and scribing. By incorporating one or more daily, they are sure to place individuals on the path to success.
"Developing Your Emotional Intelligence". This 1 hour and 8 minute course teaches skills to aid in practicing self-awareness in how we handle ourselves during stressful moments and how our tone and body language may come across to others. Maintaining self-control, and practicing effective communication, and realizing that communication isn’t only about what we have to say, but more about how what we say is perceived by listeners.
"Having an Honest Conversation with Your Boss". This 1 hour and 16 minute course encourages the most effective ways to meet with your boss to discuss a desire for additional responsibilities, promotions, and or mistakes made and taking corrective behaviors to remedy those actions. It enforces the importance of being prepared, organized and focus when meeting with our boss to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Jasmine Williams-Thompson, HR Benefits Specialist, Recommends:
I recommend “Managing Your Career as an Introvert”. If you are more reserved but would like to use introversion to your advantage, this session will definitely help you do that. One thing that stood out to me from this session was really pinpointing my strengths and skills as an introvert.
