Leading in a Virtual Environment: Staying Connected with Your People, Your Work, and Your Mission

Leading in a Virtual Environment: Staying Connected with Your People, Your Work, and Your Mission

Overview:

This is a recording of a live webinar held on July 12, 2023, from 12-1:30 pm ET.

The most important aspects of leadership involve how well a leader communicates and connects to their team. Now that the standard workplace environment is online or a hybrid of in-person and online teams, what does leadership look like? And what is required of leaders to meaningfully connect to their team in order to cultivate good communication and engagement—and what do they do when they realize it’s not working? “Virtual Drift” refers to the gradual, unintentional tendency for virtual and hybrid team members to become increasingly disconnected from one another, from the work itself, and from the overall mission of the organization. It is critical for leaders to recognize this tendency, and actively counter that “drift” with intentional opportunities for team members to connect to one another, to the content of the work, and to the mission and meaning of the organization.

John Riordan has been committed to challenging people and organizations to reach their full potential for many years – first as co-founder and Director of Cornerstone Leadership Academy for 8 years in Uganda, and for the past 20 years as a Leadership and Organization Development Consultant working with a broad range of Federal, private sector and non-profit organizations. John sees the potential for leadership in every individual and is deeply motivated to support others who want to make the world a better place. He has coached hundreds of leaders from across every sector, challenging them expand their leadership capacity and have greater impact. Over the past 20 years he has conducted hundreds of workshops ranging from large groups (200+) to small teams and is adept at making sure the approach for the work fits well with his client’s style. John received his B.A. in Public Policy from Washington and Lee University (1987), and his M.A. in Educational Management from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda (1997). He and his wife Margaret, from Sydney, Australia, have four children and reside in Ashburn, Virginia.

Update on Childhood Vaccines: Getting Ready for the School Year

Overview:

This is a recording of a webinar on July 13, 2023.

This webinar is presented by the Alabama Regional Center for Infection Prevention and Control Training and Technical Assistance and co-sponsored by the Region IV Public Health Training Center and Deep South Center for Occupational Health and Safety.

Vaccines are among the most significant medical advances in the history of the world. Hundreds of millions of lives have been saved or kept whole through vaccination programs. In our global world, though, all vaccine-preventable diseases except smallpox are a mere 18 hours away by plane. Diseases that were common only 30 years ago now are exceedingly rare, but without continued vigilance in the use of the vaccines that led to this success, we risk the reemergence of these pathogens. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the risks of new viruses spilling over to the human population, and as bad as that was, it would have been that much worse if safe and effective vaccines had not been developed in record time. That said, the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine program also illustrated the importance of all of us understanding why we need to be vaccinated – they only work if they are used.
