How to Communicate about Difficult Current Events with Your Team

When challenging current events happen, it can be hard to know how to react in the workplace. In this course, Deborah Grayson Riegel shows you how you can successfully navigate a range of emotionally (and practically) challenging current events by helping you understand your own opinions and biases, facilitate open and empathetic conversations with colleagues, set boundaries to protect yourself and others from escalations, and support psychological safety at work. Learn how to identify the challenges and opportunities for discussing difficult current events at work, how you can lead yourself and others to engage in positive, productive conversations, and how to focus on helping your colleagues feel heard and supported regardless of what’s happening in the world.
