Wayne State Alumni Association is offering exclusive access to a range of online webinars. Join us for the next webinar, Alumni Webinar Series: "How to Gracefully Lead Through Change and Crisis"

How do leaders “keep it real” under pressure? How do they handle stress when change and adversity strike? In this enlightening webinar, award-winning executive coach and author of sixteen books, John Baldoni, describes three things leaders must do when change and adversity strike:

• Take Care of Your Team (Adversity, Stress, Resilience, Affirmation)
• Take Care of Yourself (Make This Your Finest Hour!)
• Prepare for What’s Next (Capitalize on the Crisis)

In his most recent book, “Grace Under Pressure: Leading Through Change and Crisis,” John reveals that leaders must do all of these things with a sense of grace  – calmly, collectedly, and compassionately. In this webinar, John will demonstrate how leaders use the concept of grace to help us learn, grow and fulfill the “greater good.”
