Overview:

This is a 60-minute self-paced online course. Participants will need a broadband internet connection (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred browsers) and computer speakers.

This course introduces strategic human resource management. In a high-stakes environment, like public health, how leaders develop their teams makes all the difference in long-term success. Positive relationships between leaders, emerging leaders, and team members can be transformational. The result is a team competent, confident, and optimistic about their potential and contribution to the vision and goals of an organization. Thus, leaders who employ strategic human resource management contribute to this transformation. In this module, you will learn to reflect on and recharge your leadership development skills for the mutual benefit of your team(s) and the organization.

Overview:

This is a 90-minute recording of a live webinar on September 8, 2026.

Capacity strain can occur when responsibilities, expectations, ways of working, or broader conditions shift without adequate resources or support. In this webinar, participants will use the Assess → Clarify → Choose process to recognize signs of strain, identify contributing factors, and determine points of action within their role, team, work, or further upstream. 

Presenter:

Corinna N. Kelley, MPH, is the Founder and Principal of CREID Consulting, LLC, where she helps leaders identify the gap between what they are responsible for and how they are currently operating—particularly as responsibilities, expectations, and working conditions change. 

Drawing on more than 24 years across public health, healthcare, workforce development, and military service, Corinna brings a public-health assessment lens to leadership. She looks beyond the presenting challenge to examine the responsibilities, capacity, authority, relationships, culture, and conditions shaping how people lead and carry the work. 

Her work combines strategic facilitation, leadership and workforce development, and coaching-informed advisory to help leaders make better decisions, use their authority effectively, and identify what they need to strengthen, shift, share, or stop carrying. Corinna is a U.S. Air Force veteran whose national work has included engagements with NNPHI, NACCHO, the CDC Foundation, and PHAB.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Recognize signs of capacity strain in changing work conditions.

• Identify factors creating a mismatch between what the work required and what is available to meet those demands.

• Determine at least one point of action to strengthen capacity within their role, across the team or work, or further upstream.

CERTIFICATE: The course contains two modules: a module to access the webinar and an evaluation module. After accessing these modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion.
