DON'T PANIC! A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IN TIMES OF STRESS
What happens when eight fascinating people with experience in successfully navigating challenging or stressful situations at work come together to cook a meal? Insights fly along with the food in Don't Panic! A Recipe for Success in Times of Stress. In this entertaining and thoughtful video, cooking serves as a metaphor for working through a challenge together. After the flames die down, the participants enjoy the meal they've created and explore insights gleaned from their dialogue. The program examines five main points: Know Yourself: Know what you know, what you don't know, and the difference between these. Self-awareness is critical to successfully navigating challenges. Build Support: Develop a network of people you trust and who trust you both inside and outside your organization. Don't be afraid to ask for feedback and support. Assess Your Situation: Realistically assess the situation you face. Filter noise and rumors from reliable information. Step back and interrogate reality. Take Action: Don't be immobilized by fear. Be resilient in the face of a setback. Remember you always have options and that hope trumps fear. Look for opportunities in a crisis or difficult situation and pursue them. Learn from Everything: Look for learning opportunities even in what may appear as bad news. Every shadow has a light source. Find it. Learning is the ultimate benefit from a challenging situation.

IT'S OKAY TO BE THE BOSS - WITH BRUCE TULGAN
It has never been more difficult to be a manager. In the current economic downturn, managers are being asked to turn things up. They feel the pressure to increase productivity and profits by doing more with less while trying to corral a new high maintenance workforce that brings its own set of expectations and demands. All of this has led best-selling author and management consultant, Bruce Tulgan, to declare the days of "hands-off" management officially over. Tulgan challenges managers everywhere to give up their "hands off = empowerment" style of managing and to re-engage with their employees by spelling out expectations, providing specific guidelines, correcting failure quickly and rewarding success on the spot. IT'S OKAY TO BE THE BOSS provides a step-by-step guide back to being the boss that employees appreciate and deserve. THE FOUR HABITS OF A GREAT BOSS! 1. Make Time to Talk about the Work 2. Talk Like a Coach 3. Make Accountability a Process - Not a Slogan 4. Deal with Low Performers Closed Caption
