Annotation: Researchers believe there are seven key characteristics of a resilient individual in addressing burnout. Some of these characteristics are intrinsic abilities but all of them can be developed with the right kind of support and guidance.

Annotation: This webinar will focus on the skills needed to become effective leaders with SOCs. Based on the concept of “leadership with intention,” the presenter will offer a framework for leadership derived from neuroscience and will then discuss: 1) leadership styles and their impact, 2) the role of strategic alliances and relationship building in leadership, and 3) the “coach approach” to leadership. Concrete examples will be provided throughout, as well as an opportunity for questions. This webinar is part of the SOC Leadership Learning Community.

Annotation: Through recorded oral interviews, this project documents the unique paths and trajectories of MCH leaders in public health academe and their relationship with the larger public health Maternal and Child Health enterprise including Title V. Specific topics discussed include: the challenges and concerns associated with becoming an MCH academic leader; factors associated with their success; and the wisdom that these senior leaders can provide to young academics interested in the field of Maternal and Child Health. The hope is that preserving the stories and sharing the wisdom of senior MCH academic leaders will inspire the development and success of multiple generations of faculty leaders in MCH public health academe. These interviews provide real-life examples of Competency 9: Developing Others Through Teaching, Coaching, and Mentoring.

Annotation: With a growing population, an increase in connected devices and the rapid pace of technological development, agencies are now collecting more data than ever before. Not to mention, the sprawl of government information systems and technologies means that agencies are also generating significant amounts of information. All that data can be extremely valuable to the way government achieves mission goals. But to reap that value, agencies must be able to do more than collect it; they must be able to analyze it. In this course, we examine the barriers that many agencies face in bridging the gap between collection and analytics. We also identify the three critical tasks that agencies must achieve to glean insights from their data. Finally, we examine how data analytics can have real impact on the operations of government agencies. The course comprises an overview, 3 lessons, a knowledge check, and a post-course survey.
