There has never been a time of such rapid change in our profession. This change is causing uncertainty, stress, and a volatile job market. Whether you are a new TechComm practitioner, or a professional with decades of experience, you may feel overwhelmed trying to cope with a moving target.

What can you do as an employee, a manager, or a self-employed contractor to maintain some balance and sense of proportion as companies are redefining our purpose and roles?

This session explores short-term coping mechanisms, techniques, and long-term strategies to help you do more than just cope from one crisis to the next.

Takeaways

  • Recognize that our career is going through a stressful, rapid transformation.
