Coronavirus gives us a chance to put the 'reset' button on our lives and for some, their careers.

​

Our economy, and indeed our society, is going to be remade over the coming months. We do have a choice about how this remaking is done and we need to make that choice now. The frustrations people have over not being able to work, or even the very uncertainty of a job at the end of this crisis, has made many reassess what's important in their lives and careers.

​

The Black Country Chamber of Commerce has launched a series of FREE webinars in association with award-winning performance and development coach, Wendyanne Shapiro from Lotus Flower Consultancy.

​

A 12-week series of 90-minute self-learning and development sessions has been launched to help those who may have felt a little overwhelmed in recent weeks and for those who have had to pivot, not just in their personal life, but in their role and function within an organisation and who are steering their way into an unknown future of very different possibilities and opportunities.

​

Beginning on 4th June and running through until the end of August, the Chamber is encouraging everyone to tap into each of the six topics, and whilst all are stand-alone, each one dovetails with the next to help individuals with their own personal and professional development.

As organisations and individuals respond rapidly to the impact of the pandemic, changing how and where we operate, as well as reconsidering the services we offer, we are redeploying, upskilling, or reskilling, whilst as individuals, we continue to experience a dramatic shift in how, and where, we work.
