Webinar Description:
COVID-19 has upended our lives – work and family life has been altered and our social and recreational activities have been restricted. The dramatic alteration of our everyday lives has impacted many of our personal, social, and career-related goals. In this talk, we will discuss what motivational science suggests about how to cope with the uncertainty and stress of the remaining months of the pandemic, as well as how to begin to make goals and plans for our post-pandemic lives. Has the last year made you reconsider some long-held personal or work goals? Are there adaptations you have made in your life that you would like to carry forward into the future? We seek to present a realistic, yet hopeful, view of what we can expect of ourselves as we emerge from the mostly harrowing experience of living through the worst pandemic in a century.
