A theatre of the absurd? Women in Question Time
www.broadagenda.com.au
A parliamentary inquiry is looking at Question Time – the part of every sitting day that feels like a kindergarten gone feral, only worse. Rude, sexist, antagonistic, angry – Question Time undermi...The coronavirus and associated social and economic fallout has put parliamentarians under significant stress, and reminded us all of the uniquely important role governments play in maintaining social and economic cohesion.
Across the world, governments have been handed the weighty responsibility of managing the profound disruption this pandemic is imposing on all aspects of society. Some countries are clearly responding better than others to the entirety of the economic, health and social aspects of this global virus.
To support you and your staff during this time of unique disruption the Australian Expert Panel to the Oxford-based, Global Mindfulness Initiative is offering an introductory training session.
This on-line webinar will introduce you and your staff to practical strategies on:
• Managing the on-going pressure that comes with multifaceted policy challenges;
• Communicating clearly in a crisis context to translate strategic vision and to mobilise responses;
• Responding more consciously and carefully to a rapidly changing situations with no clear end date or single-known deliverables; and
• Dealing better with the inherent cognitive biases that can impair decision making when working with ambiguity.
This session will be offered twice: once on Tuesday 28 July 2020 from 11.30am-12.30pm and again on Wednesday 29 July from 4.00pm-5.00pm.
Presenter: Prof Craig Hassed from the Monash University Medical Faculty, who has previously run similar training courses for Australian judges, and UK parliamentarians in the House of Lords.
