The Oranges Toolkit is Camp Quality's social enterprise

It is difficult to fathom the scale of theCoronavirus pandemic and its impact. This global event is fundamentallychanging the way we live, work andconnect with each other. As we begin to understand our newnormal, the Oranges Toolkit hasdeveloped a new series of practicalwebinars to support and equipworkforces to manage the uncertaintyand stress they are currently facing. Remote working and physical (social)distancing measures are impactingworkforces globally. As we grapple withstaying connected and productive whileworking from home, business leadersare already reporting concerns aboutemployee performance, motivation,engagement and wellbeing.

Many businesses are discovering theiremployees simply do not have the skillsto be resilient, agile and innovative intheir thinking. In this series of targeted webinars, theOranges Toolkit addresses the risingconcerns of leaders and theirworkforces. These interactive and practicalsessions are based on the latestevidence and interventions fromthe fields of positive psychology,neuroscience and emotionalintelligence. Now more than ever, investing andsupporting your workforce to developresilience and optimism will equipyour organisation to not only facecurrent challenges now, but to thrivein an uncertain future.

For some organisations, near-termsurvival is the only agenda item. Others

are peering through the fog ofuncertainty, thinking about how to

position themselves once the crisis haspassed and things return to normal.

The question is, ‘What will normal looklike?’ While no one can say how long thecrisis will last, what we find on the other

side will not look like the normal ofrecent years.

(Ian Davis, former Managing Partner, McKinsey & Co, 2009in reference to the GFC)

Everything has changed. Just a few weeks ago,we were living our busy but familiar lives. Things we have taken for granted in the past - thedaily commute, café meetings and interstatetravel are now temporarily, if not indefinitely, onhold as we ride the wave of COVID-19.

social distancing

doesn't mean

social isolation

News reports of increasing infections and deathscaused by the Coronavirus can understandablyincrease our anxiety, uncertainty and fear about thehealth and safety of our loved ones. This fear is alsocompounded by the anticipated economic downturnand our ability to live the lives we were soaccustomed to living. These are unprecedented times. For the first time inmodern history, we're required to isolate ourselves inour homes. But extreme situations require extremeaction. We must now adapt our way of being to slowand suppress the spread of this virus. This, of coursebrings new challenges and the need for new ways ofworking. Already, leaders are reporting concerns about theirworkforce working remotely and the impact ofphysical (social) distancing on the productivity,motivation, engagement, performance and wellbeingof their people, while they implement their businesscontinuity plans. Leaders are also concerned about how, as humans,we navigate the uncertainty of these times andprovide for our loved ones whilst staying connectedand hopeful.

My routine is completelythrown out of whack...

How do I support mypeople when they are

working remotely?

How do I stay connectedwith my colleagues?

Why does this

work matter now?

How do I staymotivated?

I'm feeling reallyisolated...

I feel stressed and anxious...

How do I adapt to thisnew way of working?

I feel overwhelmed.Where do I start?

In many organisations, their leaders and their workforce are currently learning to navigate their new wayof working. For some it might feel like a natural progression from flexible working arrangements, for othersit will feel like a brave new world filled with uncertainty, fear and lacking in routine and connection.

It’s also helpful to take a look at the researchon social networks to understand how ourbehaviour impacts the motivation andbehaviour of those we interact with – evenif it is virtually, and why a healthy dose ofself-compassion might help right now!

How do you lead and inspire employeesamid a global pandemic that's creatinganxiety and uncertainty everywhere? Formany of us, this will be the mostunprecedented time in our lives, unlike anyexperience we have had before. Based on research from Gallup (2020), onething is clear - global citizens look toleadership to provide a path - and provideconfidence that there is a way forward. Infact, they report that in times of crisis, thereare two directions human nature can takeus: fear, helplessness and victimisation - orself-actualisation and engagement. In this highly interactive webinar we:

Discuss why optimism and hope areessential ingredients for successfullynavigating COVID-19.Discover your natural explanatory styles(optimism/pessimism) to uncover howyou view the world and we explore thelatest research on hope and why itmatters.Develop practical ways to cultivateoptimism and hope to enhanceperformance.

Optimism is often described as ‘the beliefthat tomorrow will be better than today’whilst hope is ‘the belief you have theagency to make it so’. You’d be forgiven ifyou were feeling a little low on both rightabout now. In fact, in times of uncertainty,it’s completely natural to feel this way. But, studies have found hope has a directimpact on our confidence, commitment andproductivity. Equally, research demonstratesthat optimism enhances our quality of life -it’s probably worth investing in both! In this highly interactive webinar we:
