LinkedIn Learning — Recommended Course of the Week
~ 57 Minutes
In the workplace, stress is often viewed in purely negative terms. It's seen as a response that should simply be minimized or pushed aside; however, it's possible to use stress to fuel positive change. In this course, join instructor Heidi Hanna, PhD as she discusses what stress is, exactly; how you can train yourself to use stress in more effective ways; and what managers can do to reduce employee stress when an organization experiences difficult times.

SLCC Coaching Program
At SLCC, we want to provide you with every necessary resource to ensure your success. In 2017, we started a coaching program with coaches certified by the ICF for employees. All employees are welcome to sign up for a coaching session.
What is coaching? Coaching is a discovery-based process that helps people solve problems and reach goals. Coaching is a professional-client relationship designed to facilitate the creation and/or development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a plan for achieving these goals.
How long are coaching sessions? To get the most out of coaching sessions, come prepared with a topic, idea, or goal. Each session will last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
What topics can I receive coaching on?
Here are some examples of common coaching topics:
- Engaging in difficult conversations
- Goal setting
- Time management
- Team building
- Leading in times of change
- Leading in times of conflict
- Adjusting to a new position or promotion
- Communicating more effectively with others
- Navigating challenging personalities
- Exploring personal accountability
- Discovering new ways of thinking
Are sessions confidential? Yes! Coaching sessions are confidential unless you state otherwise, in writing, or if disclosure is required by law or college policy. In keeping with the International Coach Federation guidelines your coach has signed and agreed to comply with the Code of Ethics.
How can I sign up? If you are interested in getting a coach or want to know more, email anjali.pai@slcc.edu who will assign you a certified and trained coach.
