Personal & Professional Development: Digital Norms for Teams

Communicate with your team in an environment free of pressure or stress with digital anthropologist and author Rahaf Harfoush! Digital communication is at an all time high, but so is the opportunity for miscommunication. It’s getting harder for some of us to disconnect, to have clear boundaries between work hours and personal hours, and to navigate interpersonal team dynamics. Join Rahaf as she walks you through her Digital Charter to improve collaboration and prevent burnout on your team. Together with Rahaf, you will: * Decode your and your team’s digital habits * Define your team constraints * Negotiate clear expectations * Create a calendar strategy that works * Expect the unexpected and define the hierarchy of urgency * Communicate your boundaries * Make the changes stick After taking this class, you’ll have a deeper insight into your own communication style and expectations and hopefully a better understanding of how technology impacts the way your team functions on a fundamental level. Whether you work with geographically distributed teams, have a hybrid work culture, or are merely interested in improving asynchronous communication on your team, you’ll walk away from this class with a plan you can put into practice right away. Rahaf’s class is designed for students of all levels to participate and enjoy.
