The 2025 conference:
Grow, Flourish, and Thrive in 2025
Topics scheduled:
Dr. Karen Schuder - Decrease Anxiety and Promote Healthy Boundaries
Anxiety is like a livewire shocking everyone in
its path. We will look at strategies to decrease anxiety and promote healthy
boundaries to foster life balance and counter burnout. We can let go of the
livewire by getting grounded in what is important, especially purpose. We
will also consider how to decrease team anxiety and increase effectiveness,
because helping others is never a solo effort. The workshop includes fun
activities, discussion, learning, and introspective time.
Susan Williams - Compassion Fatigue and Employee Burnout
Understanding
the challenges and stressors we face can feel overwhelming. The care and energy
we give to others can play a role in feeling fatigues and burnout. Learn what
compassion fatigue and burnout is and how it affects you. Discuss how to manage
stressors. Tips and tools for practicing self-care.
Susan Williams - Work Life Blend and Making Positivity a Habit
The concept of work-life balance is being replaced with a
more flexible and attractive approach to self-care known as work-life blend.
Compare the idea of work-life blend and work-life balance. Examine the
challenges and the benefits of work-life blend on the employee and the
organization. Outline ways to encourage this blend.
A positive attitude is contagious and can
elevate the success of an individual and a team. Learn what influences our
thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. Consider how to develop a positive
mental attitude to decrease stress and improve our outlook. Outline some ways
that we can embody positivity to influence the success of an organization.
Sara Croymans and Nikki Crowe - COMET
