Reconnect & Renew Your Satisfaction with Work (1-1.5 hours)
In a poll conducted by Gallup last year, it was revealed that only 36% of a random sample of American employees report genuine enthusiasm and commitment to their job. Are you one of the actively engaged, or has some of your passion and energy been snatched by the past year’s multitude of challenges?
This session will provide the space and literal breathing room to pause and assess your own work life in the wider context of the pandemic and in the specific framework of your own career progress. We will use mindfulness, reflection and journal writing to tap into what you love about your work and what talents make you feel alive, and break into small groups to offer and receive suggestions about how to renew your satisfaction with work. Flow, values, and daily gratitude are some of the concepts we will discuss as paths to increased happiness and engagement. Note: A handout will be sent before the session as optional pre-work related to your values.

"As much as I was looking forward to it, when my reminder went off mid-day, I thought 'can I afford to take this break from work?' I'm so glad I did. The reflections were incredibly helpful to me as I'm facing some uncertainty in my current role. I really like this idea of self-efficacy and thinking back on my past accomplishments to help shape my future direction."
