Resources to Stay Motivated for Education Leaders
In this edition of Leaders in Education, we will be focusing on motivational and resiliency efforts, research, outcomes, interventions, stories, and best practices for non-teaching professionals.
Whether you are a full-time employee, part-time worker, or a jobseeker, working from home comes with its own set of distractions and challenges. The changing reality of the current pandemic makes focusing on work or job-seeking extremely difficult for many. Here are some simple tips for staying motivated during this difficult time.
This guidance is designed to support supervisors in helping to keep employees engaged and productive while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. It can benefit all of us to shift our thinking from challenge mode to opportunity mode. Here are a few tips and tools to motivate your remote staff.
Many leaders have crossed the first hurdles of moving their teams remotely: ensuring colleagues have set up their tech tools, defined their processes, and permanently logged into their video conference accounts. The next critical question we must ask is: "How do you motivate people who work from home?"
When you’re a remote worker who primarily works alone, one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is to stay motivated. That’s because you’re not getting that camaraderie and stimulation of being in an office that can give you a boost. If you’re working or completing your job search in isolation, here are a few best practices to help you stay motivated.
Have you found yourself staring at your computer screen in the last week or two, unable to muster the motivation you need? There are ways that you can keep growing professionally. You just need new methods during these times, both strategic and emotional.
