Working Out Loud: Building Networks for Resilience

This is a free professional development webinar hosted by the MFLN Family Transitions and MFLN Network Literacy concentration areas.

This webinar is part of the "Building Networks for Resilience" learning experience. The “Building Networks for Resilience” learning experience focused on using elements of the Working Out Loud process, positive psychology, behavioral science and more to build social support networks to improve our resilience.

Description

A strong support network can help you be resilient in times of change, but what can you do to make sure those networks are there when you need them? In this interactive webinar, we’ll use concepts and themes from the Working Out Loud process to learn about and practice behaviors that can help you build networks to support your personal and professional resilience.
John Stepper developed the Working Out Loud process to make organizational cultures more collaborative and innovative by showing people a more engaged way of working that gave them access to more opportunities. Along with colleagues from Cooperative Extension and the Military Families Learning Network, Bob Bertsch has adapted concepts from the Working Out Loud to give helping professionals a better sense of control and purpose in their work.


Objectives

          Identify how networks can support/enhance personal & professional resilience
          Learn how the Working Out Loud process can be used to build diverse networks
