June Programs<\/h3>\n

Presented by Moshe Cohen (he, him),<\/span>\u00a0Master Lecturer,\u00a0Questrom School of Business<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether at work, home, or in the world, our ability to advocate for our needs, resolve conflicts, and achieve results involves negotiating and influencing other people\u2019s behavior. This session examines what makes these interactions challenging for us and provides skills, tools, and frameworks for managing emotions, reducing stress, managing differences, and meeting our interests. Whether you negotiate with your vendors, students, colleagues, managers, significant others, children, neighbors, or others, the ideas presented in this\u00a0webinar\u00a0will help you be more effective and less stressed by these interactions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Presenter:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Moshe Cohen has been teaching negotiation, leadership, conflict resolution and organizational behavior as founder of The Negotiating Table since 1995 and as a master lecturer at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business since 2000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants can attend as many sessions as their schedules allow.<\/span> June sessions will be posted in the video library.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Awe as Antidote: Finding Resilience in Challenging Times<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Presented by Karen Brouhard (she, her), LICSW, CEAP<\/span>
<\/span>Wednesday, July\u00a029,\u00a0<\/span>12:30-1:00pm via Zoom,\u00a0<\/span>Register Here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In times of uncertainty,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0easy to become overwhelmed by worry or discouragement. Research shows that experiences of awe –\u00a0encountering\u00a0beauty, wonder, connection, or something larger than\u00a0ourselves\u00a0– can help shift your perspective, reduce stress, and strengthen resilience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This 30-minute\u00a0webinar\u00a0explores how cultivating awe can support your well-being during\u00a0difficult times.\u00a0We’ll\u00a0explore what psychology tells us about awe and share simple practices for noticing and creating these moments, even\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0busy schedules and ongoing stress. Participants will leave with practical strategies for reconnecting with meaning, replenishing emotional resources, and finding steadiness in an unsettled world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
