Course Goals:
Thanks to support from ScreenSkills using National Lottery funds awarded by the British Film Institute (BFI)as part of the Future Film Skills programme we launched this new two-part course:
RESILIENT LEADERSHIP FOR COVID SUPERVISORS IN FILM: MANAGING TEAMS AND SUPPORTING WELLBEING UNDER PRESSURE
This course is for experienced Covid supervisors working in film who would like to develop their leadership skills and also learn effective strategies to support self-care and recognise when team members may be struggling.
Dealing with uncertainty is recognised as one of the most significant leadership challenges. This two-part course will support Covid Supervisors and help them better manage the pressure and emotional toll of this role.
This training will provide tools and strategies to help Covid Supervisors develop the mindset and behaviours to communicate effectively, maintain boundaries and navigate uncertainty whilst supporting their own self-care and the well-being of their team

With the acute physical, mental, emotional and social behaviours inevitably highlighted by COVID-19 resiliency is the key to supporting and managing teams.We will look at where we are in terms of the pandemic and the individual trauma responses at play. How to boost self- care and manage workplace stress.
Topics covered will include:

We will look at the difficulties of communicating effectively and with empathy during Covid-19 and how to spot the signs someone is struggling.
