Let's Be Real Webinar Series Ep 9 - Burnout in the Workplace
World Mental Health Day is October 10. Our EFAP provider, GreenShield, invites you to join us and host Michael Landsberg for the next episode in our Let鈥檚 Be Real Series as we explore Burnout in the Workplace on Wednesday October 8. Burnout doesn't care where you work; in fact, over 1 in 3 Canadian workers report feeling burned out regularly (Indeed Canada, 2023). Whether you鈥檙e in a classroom, behind a desk, on the factory floor, or in the crease at Madison Square Garden, it can find a way in. In this episode, we'll hear from former NHL goalie Corey Hirsch, who wore the mask, stopped the pucks, and still couldn鈥檛 escape burnout.

What an instructor communicates to students can be highly impactful, but it is constrained by the limits of time and subject matter. What if additional dimensions of topics were folded into classes in a way that only becomes apparent later? A student who realizes stealth teaching has happened can react by thinking "Ahh, I see what you did there." This is how stealth teaching can carry the benefits of learning beyond the classroom. Join Etienne Cote on October 29 at 12:30 pm in the TLC Robertson Library Annex Room 230 to discuss how and why you might want to incorporate elements of stealth teaching into your courses.
