LUNCH KEYNOTE: Navigating a World of Overload

It’s bigger than burnout. Remain capable, composed and resilient through times of stress and overwhelm

We’ll explore the tools necessary for regulating our emotions and build a long-term self-care plan aimed at strengthening your awareness, resilience, and ongoing well-being.

  • Experience The Energy Audit® for Individuals revealing how well people are managing their own energy across four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
  • Develop resilience rituals to strengthen the immune system, increase emotional reserves, and improve the quality and clarity of decision making
  • Understand how moving into “Survival mode” – fight-or-flight – dramatically diminishes our capacity
  • Utilize a set of specific self-regulation tools and strategies to deal with fear and overwhelm when they arise in the moment

OPENING KEYNOTE: Mitigating Microaggressions in the Workplace 

The micro in microaggressions is a bit of a misnomer. Because when you experience one, it doesn’t feel very micro. In fact, it can feel like death by a thousand cuts. It might be one of the reasons an astonishingly low number of Black employees (3%) say they would want to return to the office full time. This session helps us understand where microaggressions come from, how to recognize when they are happening, how to speak up when you observe one, how to cope when you experience one and lastly, how to respond when you have committed one.
