Manager Minute – LinkedIn Learning picks from ODE staff

LinkedIn Learning is a free resource for UNT World employees, and offers a wide variety of topics for use by managers and team members. UNT System HR’s Organizational Development and Engagement team has compiled their recommendations for LinkedIn Learning courses that may be relevant based on current conditions.

Sony Simon, ODE Leadership Programs Coordinator:
I recommend “The challenge of working from home.” This session gives tips to help with the challenges we are facing while working remotely during this pandemic. Working from home is a challenge in itself for many people at this time while balancing family life and work. The tips that are given will help you to manage your time working from home versus working from your office. This session has tips to help minimize distractions and manage your time wisely.

Amanda Fisher, ODE Senior Learning and Development Specialist:
I recommend “Leading Your Team Through Change”. This session helped me to reflect on dealing with change from two perspectives: that of a leader, and that of someone who can lead from within their role as a team member. When I came back from maternity leave, I went through a great deal of change professionally and personally. As I reflect on the changes I am experiencing now, reviewing this video helped me to visualize the role I play in the process and fluid nature of change.I also like the presenter’s personal stories on how he used change strategies to help him to achieve real results!

Managing our stress now may be more challenging than ever. This session offers quick, practical techniques to help relieve a little stress during the day.

Suzanne Gravois, ODE LMS Administrator & Learning Technology Consultant:
I recommend the course “Leading Virtual Meetings”. If you are new to conducting online meetings, it can certainly be a challenge when you are learning to use new applications, dealing with personal networks and other hardware. Learn to make these meetings successful and encourage participation from your team.
