Leaders across the organizational spectrum are facing challenges and uncertainty like never before. These unprecedented circumstances, however, present innovative and entrepreneurially-minded leaders an opportunity to pivot, thrive and grow.
At Furman Innovation and Entrepreneurship and our Center for Corporate and Professional Development, we want to provide you the tools to LEAD IN TIMES OF CRISIS. We are launching a 6-week virtual series of free workshops with industry experts for corporate, entrepreneurial and non-profit leaders who need the tools to lead their organizations in times of uncertainty.
Join us every Thursday for a FREE engaging and interactive 45-minute virtual workshop.
Now is a stressful time! In this session, Cam Houser will lead an interactive session around best practices for resilience and mental health for knowledge workers. This session will remain grounded in real-world, proven approaches–no crystal healing or new age music here. It will, however, require an open mind and a willingness to experiment with a guided meditation. Cam has delivered these sessions to teams at National Instruments, Samsung, and the Texas Lottery Commission.
In partnership with Sidewalk Angels Foundation, we invite you to Rock the House for Animals, a livestream concert to help support critical work for all animals, including help for pets and their people who are impacted by COVID-19.
Rob Thomas, along with Chris Daughtry and Gavin DeGraw, will perform live from their homes for a special evening benefiting animals across the country. Before the show begins, please join us for an exclusive look at how heroes are helping animals nationwide.
This exciting event will be streaming live on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch. We hope you’ll join us!
