Organizational Development & Learning, February 2021

Working remotely presents a unique set of challenges that require resilience, collaboration, and stress management practices. Virtual work during a crisis adds additional complexity. Enhance your skills by learning how to apply mindfulness techniques, manage mental well-being, and adapt to unexpected change. The Working Remotely bundle includes a diverse array of resources (11 videos, 23 reads, and 4 listens). You can engage all of them or only one of them. You can mix and match. And you can engage them individually or with your team and department.

Featuring Dr. Amy Baltzell, Clinical Associate Professor for BU’s Wheelock College of Education & Human Development, author of The Power of Mindfulness (2018) and CMPC (Certified Mental Performance Consultant), Past President of the Association of Applied Sports Psychology.
