Taking Care of Yourself as a Leader
Presented by Kurt Penner and Theresa VoorsluysAs leaders, we all tend to malfunction when over-tired, discouraged, frustrated or encountering difficult people. This session will deal with common problems and self-awareness as well as strategies to build balance, resilience and self-care while in leadership. Participants will discuss challenging issues, warning signs, and strategies for self-care, concluding by creating application(s) to their own situation. A door prize is highly probable.
