SUMMARY:Tips and tools to increase your work-life balance during Covid (offered through UNON STDU)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe global pandemic continues.    We’ve undergone a tremendous shift in the past year – striving to juggle working from home with family and personal life.  And all the while learning the technology to make that happen. \n  \nThe learning curve has never been so steep.\n  \nOur stress levels\, anxiety\, and fear have risen to all-time highs while our certainty and access to regular routines have plummeted.  Our boundaries have changed and become fuzzy.  And talk about the ‘new normal’ is rife – yet who can even remember the old ‘normal’? \n  \nWhile we’re all in this together\, our situations vary wildly\, which makes it even harder to relate to each other.  Some of us are trying to work while little ones\, with sticky fingers\, cling to us\, begging for mommy/daddy time\, while we look longingly to those who have quiet\, uninterrupted spaces to work. \n  \nAnd yet those of us who have quiet\, interrupted time suffer from deep loneliness and lack of connection\, as their parents\, friends\, and children can be counties or countries away. \n  \nMeanwhile\, throughout these challenges\, we’re told to look for “balance” in our home and work life.  It’s enough to make us dizzy with confusion\, trepidation\, hopelessness\, and more stress. \n  \nFear not.  There is hope.\n  \nWe’ve come a long way in learning how to navigate the challenges of working from home.  Let’s build on all the things you’ve learned in the past year and add to your toolkit so you’re healthier\, more relaxed\, less stressed\, and more resilient. \n  \nHere’s how. \n  \nJoin me for a two-part interactive workshop where I’ll introduce you to a myriad of simple tools to add to your toolkit.  The workshops will be very practical\, so you can get going on your continued way to wellness ASAP. \n  \nContact UNON-HR to register (for UN staff only but contact me if you’d like to chat about having a similar workshop for your organization). \n  \nDelivery: The course is divided into five sections →\n\nSelf-facilitated: There will be a couple of short tasks to complete before we meet together online (estimated time: 15 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: To help you apply what you’re learning there will be a few more tasks for you to complete on your own time before we meet again (approximate time investment: 30 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Again\, to help you use what you’ve learned\, you’ll have a couple more tasks to complete on your own time\, (approximate time investment: 15 minutes)\n\n  \nTotal learning time with the instructor: 4 hours \n  \nIn this workshop with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, you’ll:\n\nPut the elusive myth of work-life balance to bed for good and replace it with a healthier\, more realistic\, and practical outlook.\nAmp up your empathy for others by understanding the context of Covid and how it’s affecting us differently (you’ll be introduced to some real-life Covid “characters”).\nKnow thyself with four tools designed to uncover how you’re currently dealing with work-life balance and how you can create more relaxation and balance\, and less fear and anxiety.\nTake action with four skills designed to decrease your stress and increase your wellness – practical examples\, from bookends\, keeping up\, and speaking up to simple\, easy (and slightly weird but backed by research) tips to combat stress instantly.\nLearn how to diagnose your specific situation by using my more than\, less than\, and equal to tool.\nMap three types of stressors and where you’re at with your ‘buckets’\, in order to create a customized work-life balance plan that fits you.\nCome away feeling inspired\, hopeful\, and with an online resource portal full of tips\, tools\, and more.

SUMMARY:How to effectively teach and present online while being cool\, calm and engaging (offered through UNON STDU)
DESCRIPTION:Wondering what a roller coaster\, raccoon\, vacuum cleaner\, and elephant have to do with effectively teaching/presenting online?  Keep reading.  \n  \nLectures that drone on and on.  Overwhelming unread notifications of online events.  Workshops that are drier than the Sahara desert and more boring than watching paint dry. We’ve all been there.  \n  \nOnline meetings\, courses\, workshops\, check-ins are never-ending. Some research shows we are spending up to 16 hours a day on digital media!  Globally\, we doubled our online content consumption in 2020.   \n  \nWe are bored\, exhausted and we’re struggling. Mental health challenges are up in most countries and yet mental health service provision is down.  \n  \nThere is hope\, however. \n  \nNotwithstanding the tremendous costs of the global pandemic\, there are hidden benefits to Covid and all that time online.  Help is in sight. Teaching and presenting online CAN (and should) be engaging\, interesting\, and impactful.   We can make a difference.  We can use tools to help us engage with dignity\, inclusion\, and impact.  And we can do all that without inducing suffering in ourselves or those we’re working with. \n  \nHere’s how.\n  \nJoin me for a series of fun\, interactive workshops where I’ll introduce you to a helpful framework and success signposts to aim for on your online journey.  The workshops will be very practical.  I’ll demonstrate a number of interesting yet simple tools and techniques that you can use right away.  \n  \nContact UNON-HR to register (for UN staff only but contact me if you’d like to chat about having a similar workshop for your organization). \n  \nDelivery: The course is divided into five sections →\n\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, before we gather in real-time (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, before we meet again (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\n\n  \nTotal learning time: 8 ½ hours \n  \nIn this workshop with the instructor\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, you’ll:\n\nDiscover eight success signposts for your online teaching/presenting\nUncover two opportunities hiding in plain sight for increasing engagement\nLearn the abysmal retention rates for the dreaded lecture and three easy things to replace them with that scale engagement and retention\nUnderstand your preference in teaching/presenting and how to be more engaging by using the S.A.K.E.© tool\nUncover the seven deadly sins of online presenting/teaching so you know what NOT to do\nDiscover your tech personality\, what a raccoon\, vacuum cleaner roller coaster\, elephant have to do with it and why it’s important to know all this\nGet a chance to practice teaching/presenting online and receive supportive feedback\nHave fun experimenting with 16 tools for online presenting/teaching that include tools for managing information\, collaborating/sharing online\, managing learning\, and teaching/presenting\nCome away feeling inspired\, hopeful and with an online resource portal full of tips\, tools\, worksheets\, surveys\, and more

SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable: Communicate better\, resolve conflict easier and lessen misunderstandings with Life Lenses®
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDo you sometimes feel like you’re speaking a language nobody gets but you\, and you DESPERATELY wish you could communicate more clearly and be understood?\nDo you hate conflict\, and yet somehow find yourself navigating a bunch of misunderstandings\, hurt feelings\, and confusion?\nHow about this – do you feel like you’re having to constantly decipher the people around you? Best case\, it’s tiring. Worst case\, it feels like people are trying to provoke you with all the daft\, dumb things they’re doing.\n\nWe’ve got a lot of things coming at us\, so naturally — and quite rightly — we filter LOTS of things out. \n  \nBut what if you’re also filtering out too much of the stuff that actually matters? What if all of that unconscious filtering is the very reason you so often feel stuck\, lost\, misunderstood. As if everyone around you is speaking Greek. \n  \nThe consequences are huge; we miss out on the insights\, and experiences that can enrich our lives. We miss out on the things that can help us reduce conflict\, lessen disagreements\, parent with ease\, create far better products\, services\, programs… \n  \nHere’s the thing: Great minds DON’T think alike.\n  \nOnly we’ve been sucked into the idea that they do. \n  \nBut there is a way to shift your view\, to address your biases (we all have ‘em)\, and to benefit from other perspectives: \n  \nLearn to look at life through different lenses – the Life Lenses® that is.. \n  \nIn this free workshop on September 15th\, with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\,  you’ll:\n\nDiscover the eight Life Lenses® and which ones appeal to you the most\nIlluminate your ‘natural’ perspectives – and see where you shine when it comes to conflict\, communication\, teambuilding\, project management and more\nUncover how you can communicate with lenses that are different from yours (and why that’s so important)\nLearn how to avoid the very natural and very strong temptation to stick to your own lenses \nCount the workshop towards your annual UN-Mandated training (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend\, any and all are welcome)\n\nRSVP using this link by September 13th. Then watch your inbox for our agenda and how to participate online.\nPlease note the dates and times alternate each month so as to reach more people in various time zones at their request. \n\n8-10 am London\n9-11 am Paris/Rome\n10 am-noon Nairobi/Beirut\n11 am-1 pm Abu Dhabi\n12:45-2:45 pm Katmandu\n3-5 pm Manila\n4-6 pm Fukuoka\n\nClick here to convert to your timezone if it’s not listed above and to double-check the times as they can sometimes change due to daylight savings times. \n  \nTake action now –> Join the mailing list to receive invitations to the monthly meetings\, and get access to all the meeting resources (including time-stamped recordings in case you can’t make it in real time).  And don’t forget to  RSVP for this roundtable by September 13.  \n  \nOptional: if you wish\, find out more about Life Lenses® here and get the most out of this workshop then get to know your Life Lenses® in detail and take the assessment here.
