This three-part discussion-based training series will provide an opportunity for governmental public health managers and leaders to build a network of peers and reflect on skills needed to support themselves, their teams, and their partners in navigating leadership transitions. There will be a communication and storytelling focus (Public Narrative: Self, Us, and Now framework), as well as an emphasis on trauma-informed leadership, in order to equip practitioners to effectively lead through change and urgent challenges. Sessions will include a mix of presentations, small-group breakouts, and large-group discussion. The series consists of three 90-minute live sessions, along with asynchronous pre- and post- work. Anticipated contact hours: 5.5 (subject to change).
