Are you prepared to guide your team – and yourself – through challenging times? 

From machinery of government changes to having difficult conversations, working in the public sector can come with its own set of challenges. As a leader, you’re often expected to make decisions that directly impact your team or Australia’s communities more broadly. This can come with significant internal and public scrutiny. 

This webinar will explore stories from the coalface of leading through difficult times and provide you with tools to maintain motivation and morale, have difficult conversations, and support your own mental health and your team’s.  

Why attend?

  • Learn about some of the unique challenges of the public sector operating environment 
  • Understand your mental health at work and that of your team 
  • Learn about self-management practices  
  • Be more prepared for difficult conversations 
  • Maintain trust and integrity, even under internal or public pressure  

Who is this for? 

  • Public sector staff managing teams in the face of challenges or failure  
  • Senior executives in charge of managing large-scale change across their organisation, caused by internal or external challenges 
  • Change management and internal communications professionals
  • Those looking for tools to support their own mental health or their team’s mental health at work
