Navigating Unprecedented Times: webinar, tools and training

How to deal with uncertainty, stay connected and manage remotely

We are living through unprecedented times. How are you and your colleagues navigating the uncertainty and rapid change we’ve all been suddenly thrust into?

At The People Piece, our hearts go out to anyone affected by this pandemic. We are committed to continuing our work fostering community, empathy, and outstanding teamwork during this time - and supporting you to do the same. Together, we will face challenges, rely on each other, and also, be invited to learn, adapt and evolve.

We’ve compiled insightful resources to support you and your colleagues during this time, including tools, training, and a special virtual event we are hosting this Thursday, March 19th.

WEBINAR: Coronavirus and Work - successfully navigating uncertainty, anxiety and change

Join People Piece Founder Roni Krouzman and People Piece Coach Alla Weinberg this Thursday, March 19 at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 GMT for a free, hosted conversation on Coronavirus and Work: how we’re all feeling during this uncertain time, what kinds of reactions we might expect from others, and how to talk about it, so all team members feel connected, supported, and focused. Register now to connect with us and hundreds of employees, managers, leaders and teams across the US and around the world for an hour of solidarity, humanity, and conversation during this period of crisis and uncertainty.

BLOG: How to talk about Coronavirus - and other tough topics - at work

In order to effectively navigate - and even thrive in - uncertain times, we’ll all need to find ways to process what is happening, communicate with one another, and grow our personal and organizational resilience. People Piece Coach Alla Weinberg’s special blog explains the importance of making space for emotions during tough times and presents a clear, 3-step process for communicating around uncomfortable topics at work.

RESOURCE: Working from Home

For many US workers, the shift to working from home will be as challenging as it has been sudden. Yet companies will be relying on all team members to stay focused and productive during these unstable times. We like this piece from The Muse on steps you and your colleagues can take to maintain work life balance (i.e., not go nuts) and stay productive when your kitchen table has become your new office desk.

HBR: Leading and Working Through a Pandemic

Harvard Business Review is one of our go-to resources for all things business and organizational culture. The fine folks at HBR have pulled together outstanding Coronavirus-related articles on leadership in a time of crisis and uncertainty. Take a look at HBR’s special coverage of the pandemic and how to work through it.

TOOLS & TRAINING: Remote Leadership, Management and Collaboration

Technology will help us work, train and learn remotely. But it won’t help us stay grounded, motivated, and feeling like a team in uncertain times. Our team has been all-remote since our inception in 2011. Learn how The People Piece is partnering with organizations across the US and Europe to help them develop and quickly deliver customized, effective remote communication, collaboration and management tools that equip leaders and teams to stay productive and be their best.

These times will bring challenges. We trust that our personal health and organizational well being reside in our continued willingness to stay connected, support each other, and adapt together.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, ideas or requests. We are here to support you, and wish you, your family and your colleagues health and safety.

Roni, Jess, Alla, Emily, Marina, Genna, Emily and the entire People Piece team
