60: Gratitude Amid Struggle - Celebrating Wins in the COVID-19 Response

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought challenges to communities nationwide, but there is reason for hope: In the face of these struggles, health agencies are seeing real progress that will provide benefits long after the pandemic passes. In our latest episode, Anne Zink (Chief Medical Officer, Alaska Department of Health and Social Services) and Larry Lewis (licensed psychologist and executive coach) speak on the importance of celebrating "small wins"—tangible stories of progress that can sustain the public health workforce in an otherwise trying time. Listen in to hear what these wins look like and learn how leaders can apply this motivational practice in their own daily work.
