Liz is a guest speaker as part of free daily webinar series

The Open University Business School has a long-standing collaboration with the Institute of Leadership and Management, a world-renowned specialist membership body raising professional standards of more than 30,000 leaders, managers, coaches and mentors.

The Institute is running a six-week series of FREE daily webinars where you will receive advice, insight, tools and techniques. Topics are varying from how to manage your time when our home and work boundaries have become blurred, to how to be a great team worker in a dispersed team; from managing remote workers, to the importance of self-awareness when leading a remote team you cannot see.

OUBS Director of Executive Education Liz Moody has been invited to join the Institute’s Rodney Jones (Content Manager) and Kate Cooper (Head of Research, Policy and Standards) on Thursday 9 April (13:00 – 13:30) for Getting used to change: Learning. This is part of a week-long series exploring the impact, effects and implementation of change.

These FREE webinars only last 30 minutes with future weeks on 'Staying healthy at work: consider how to ensure that work is good for us'; 'The role of challenge: when and how to challenge effectively'; and 'Being socially responsible: the far-reaching impact of how we manage our organisations'.

Previous weeks focussed on 'Working at home: being a better home worker'; and 'Being a great colleague: improve those important relationships with your colleagues'. If you have missed a webinar, you can watch the recordings here.
