Back to the Office

In this 90 minute session Heidi Brooks will share what she has learned about returning to the office in an unusual time.

Whether you face the prospect of returning to the office with excitement or dread, one thing is certain: it will not be business as usual. Heidi Brooks from Yale’s School of Management will share what she’s learned about supporting organizations, leaders, and colleagues transitioning back to a familiar environment under unusual circumstances.

Listen to Heidi talk about her experience returning to the office on NPR.

Leaders, coaches, and anyone facing a return to a shared office space.

Heidi Brooks teaches and advises on the subject of everyday leadership: the impact we each and all have on organizational culture and the lived experience of others.  Creating more courageous learning communities—especially within organizations—is a particular passion of hers. Heidi specializes in large-scale culture change projects focused on individual and collective leadership effectiveness in organizations. Interpersonal  Dynamics, the MBA elective she has taught for 15 years, is one of the courses most in demand at  Yale School of Management.

Heidi pioneered the Everyday Leadership course at Yale SOM and Yale Law School. She has also taught Emotional Intelligence, Power & Politics,  Managing Teams and Groups, and Coaching Skills for Managers. Dr. Brooks received her doctorate  in psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor’s degree from Brown  University. A life-long experiential learner, you can find her as a student in classrooms as far-ranging  as improvisational theater and immersion language lessons.
