OVS is pleased to announce the fifth installment in our TRANSITION FORWARD Webinar Series, hosted by our leadership consultants from the OVS Training and Technical Assistance Request Program (TTARP), J.A. Strategies and Krieger Solutions: Coaching to High Performance on Thursday, July 16th at 1:00 pm Supervisors fulfill many roles for the people they supervise – they plan, they manage and they act as a guide and leader. Supervisors and managers who add coach to the list, and use a coaching approach in supervision, have the opportunity to motivate each staff person individually while still holding them accountable. Coaching is an effective method for reinforcing and transferring learning and can be instrumental in improving the performance of the entire team. This 45-minute webinar will address:

• The differences between coaching and a more traditional approach to supervision and management

• How to use coaching as a supervisory style to improve overall performance

• Where and when coaching is most appropriate

• A plan for using these strategies on the job

This is a reminder for the next installment in our Transition FORWARD Webinar Series, hosted by our partners at the Institute for Disaster Mental Health at SUNY New Paltz: Coping with Loss and Grief on Wednesday, June 24th at 10:00 am The Coronavirus pandemic has caused losses for everyone in different ways: Loss of jobs, of routines, of irreplaceable experiences, of loved ones, of our sense of safety and control. It can be difficult to know how to cope with this spectrum of losses. Some of us may judge ourselves for feeling upset about our experiences when we know other people are suffering more intensely. Others may resent those around them for complaining about things that may seem less significant, like missing graduations or vacations – yet all of these losses are valid and deserve to be recognized and mourned. This 75-minute webinar will address:

• The variety of losses people have experienced throughout the pandemic and as we start to return to more typical activities in a changed environment

• Ways to cope compassionately with our own and others’ grief We understand that your programs are under unique forms of stress during this time, and OVS is here to help during this difficult time and beyond.
