NCFDD Managing Stress by Shifting Our Self-Talk Webinar Watch Party
Join CTLS for a collegial watch party of the NCFDD Managing Stress by Shifting Our Self-Talk webinar on Tuesday, April 28 from 1:00–2:00 pm in the Center for Teaching, Learning & Scholarship. This NCFDD webinar focuses on how the ways we speak to ourselves can shape our stress levels, productivity, and overall well-being. Participants will explore practical strategies for recognizing unhelpful patterns of self-talk and learn how to reframe them in ways that foster resilience, clarity, and a greater sense of balance in academic life.
The webinar is led by Elizabeth Odders-White, a former faculty member and academic leader at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who now runs a coaching and consulting practice supporting faculty and higher education leaders. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in academia, she brings a compassionate and practical approach to helping individuals navigate the complexities of academic work. She is the author of Well on Your Way: An Assistant Professor’s Companion and Well in the Lead: An Academic Leader’s Companion (with Suzanne Dove), and holds a Ph.D. in finance from Northwestern University, along with credentials as a Professional Certified Coach and Certified Executive Coach.
Watch alongside colleagues in a supportive environment, with opportunities for informal conversation before and after the session. Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided to keep you energized and engaged.
No need to register just come as you are, take a pause in your day, and leave with strategies you can use right away. It’s better when we watch together!
