Going Virtual with Resiliency Expert Eileen McDargh

Business-as-usual has gone the way of the dodo bird, the passenger pigeon and a balanced Federal budget.  The skills of resilience have never been more important to cultivate. 

​

• Your organization needs the creative brainpower of all stakeholders.  

• Leaders need to figure out how to release the talent and collaboration of remote workers. 

• Individuals need to harness the energy of optimism and action.  

We can do this through the wonder of technology.  But please, no clunky webinars.

Virtual Programs - These have been created specifically for a COVID-19 World

All of us are being whip-lashed by a barrage of frightening news, warnings, and dire predictions about the fate of our communities, countries, and world. Many of us are just plain anxious and frankly scared. Never before has there been such a universal need to understand and cultivate resilience.

Tap-dancing on Running Water: Living in Disruptive Times

Fear paralyzes us. Clear thinking moves us.  This session is designed to open a conversation about what we can do as individuals and professionals to move from pandemic panic to realistic response. During this 45-minute session, I will guide you through the accurate definition of resilience and begin to explore actions to take in cultivating four critical resilience skills: adaptability, agility, laugh-ability and alignment. And it all begins with YOU—what conversations you are having with yourself and what emotions rise as a result? In times like these, we also have the opportunity to be inspired, innovative, imaginative.  

Creating a Resilient Workforce: The Care and Feeding of Remote Teams

Alone again—and not so naturally.  With employees scattered in various locations—even within the same city— a leader’s job becomes a blend of psychologist and coach, teacher and student.  Within the reality of both optimism and pessimism which we all deal with, this program helps managers focus on attributes: clarity, collaboration, creativity, comedy and compassion.

Note: this program–depending upon the number of participants—can also offer a forum for leaders to discuss critical issues and share best practices.

In Her Own Voice

This is a virtual mastermind retreat for women. Through a process of reflection, journaling, and communal sharing, participants discover what is their desired Act III.

Come together with other women who bring their own wisdom to the fire.  Be supported and taught skills for leading a life by design and not by default. You will learn how to powerfully and positively shape the direction of your future. You will honor the place of NOW in your life. You will explode the myth of balance and replace it with a model that recognizes the challenges of life.  And from a place of self-leadership, supported by a community of women, walk away with skills and insights for the next part of your journey.

Here are a few video samples of virtual programs.  These programs were crafted as early responses to global lockdowns.  I served as the content provider on their platform and with their format.
