Speaker: Dr. Alonzo Walker, Managing Partner at Altus Human Capital Solutions, and Adjunct Faculty at Roosevelt University
The learning segment Evolve – How to Rise from The Pandemic from The Inside Out is founded on the educational principles of continuous improvement and designed to give practical and pragmatic guidance to realizing and establishing a ‘new normal’ for our lives as we emerge from the pandemic. For the vast majority of us, our sense of routine, structure, and how we managed our lives were drastically altered. Furthermore, it has left all of us to deal with the trauma, both direct and indirect that presented itself.
This learning segment is an approach for self-sustainment intellectually and emotionally giving the learner a refortified optimism and assurance in themselves by focusing on their worth, value and dignity. During the pandemic we had a lot of distress, but we also gained a lot of experience. This learning segment speaks to harnessing that experience and not throwing it away; drawing upon it and taking control.
We can be successfully miserable. Achievement doesn’t equate to satisfaction. You can never be confident until you know who you are and what you have. Many times we feel stuck, we don’t where or how to start and, we don’t feel strong enough to make a change.
The objective of this learning segment is to give the professional a step-by-step framework, aligned with their own values, that will allow them to make the adjustments necessary to address uncertainties in their lives and be more secure about who they are.
As a result of participating in this learning segment they will have identified the elements that makes them secure from the inside-out resulting in more confidence, self-assuredness, and resolve to live the life they were destined to live.
This will be a nurturing environment for alumni, faculty, staff, and students to learn and grow.
