A workshop on care, coaching and connection for post-pandemic news leaders
At its core, trauma-informed leadership recognizes and respects human experiences. Post-pandemic news organizations require us to reorder our skill set, moving “soft” skills to the top. While the soft skills of leadership are hard, API believes these skills will help retain critical perspectives and pivotal voices in news organizations — those from journalists of color and women.
In this self-reflective session — led by Sam Ragland, API’s senior vice president — we’ll check the editing, producing and managing at the (Zoom) door, and instead invite care, coaching and connection to the table. Participants will contribute anonymously to a set of interactive slides and receive real-time coaching and context as their responses come in.
Join this event to:
- Learn a framework for understanding the core needs necessary to support the psychological safety of your team
- Build a 30-day plan that outlines a series of behaviors to practice in order to model the values of either care, coaching or connection
To support journalists and their well-being during Mental Health Awareness Month, API has offered this free, interactive webinar since May 2024. If you attended this session last year and found it helpful, please encourage your colleagues and friends in news to join this year.
