“Yes, we need empathy and care, but have people lost the ability to work hard?” this is the murmuring uncertainty of leaders as we move through the later stages of a global pandemic. In this time of workplace stabilization and shifting norms, fortitude is the skill that we all need. Different than resilience, which happens in the aftermath of a disruption, fortitude is the courage we access in the moment to meet a challenge and choose the good. Fortitude is not just a personal capacity; it emerges from healthy communities. Weaving together stories of fortitude and challenge (while dismantling myths that often surround the concept), workplace empathy expert Liesel Mindrebo Mertes guides participants to access fortitude and to encourage it in one another. Learn: Leaders will learn how to specifically resource, motivate and guide three groups of workers: those who are in crisis, those who are checked out, or those who are always seeking a challenge.

Countless studies have found direct connections between a person’s communication skills and their professional success. In today’s world, most of your professional contacts only know you virtually. What does your computer-side manner say about you? Is it helping or hindering your professional success? From an organizational standpoint, communication barriers cost the average organization $62.4 million per year in lost productivity. From an individual standpoint, the impact of these communication mistakes—many you may be unaware you’re even making—can be just as costly. And in today’s increasingly divisive and litigious society, most people will never tell you you’re making these mistakes, but that doesn’t mean they don’t impact your brand, your opportunities, and possibly your career. Join renowned communications expert Dr. Ali Atkison as she explores “computer-side manner,” a concept she introduces in her book, launching in mid-2023. Computer-side manner is the holistic picture of how you “show up” in your computer-mediated communication. Dr. Ali will explain why computer-side manner matters and cover common mistakes in your digital communication that may be holding you back professionally. In this interactive session you’ll learn specific and easy-to employ brain-based tactics for achieving impactful communication, which is communication that accomplishes what you want it to, and that allows you to stand out as the professional you need to be to achieve success.
