TED Talk: Stressed Out? Ways to Remain Calm
Stressed Out? Ways to Remain Calm
Busy times in the ID office is often stressful. We are all pulled in many directions, problems arise, and solutions are created in the moment. Wouldn’t it be great to plan and even predict issues in order to stay calm and focused to produce the best outcomes: A GREAT STUDENT EXPERIENCE!
- What are your goals for the busy times and how do you accomplish them?
- What typical issues that come up that you plan for?
- How do you work with other areas, department, partnerships to create a plan to resolve issues when they arise?
