We all know that busy season can be overwhelming... but it doesn’t have to be. In the hustle and bustle of busy season, it's easy to lose control of what we need most. More often than not, we drain our reserves, neglecting what our body and mind require to be efficient, effective and happy. Have you been skipping out on self-care? You’re not just skipping out on a “nice-to-have”. You’re depleting your most important asset: YOU!

Bring your lunch and an open mind as we explore a sample of wellness options that you can use during busy season or any day of the week. As a result of attending, you can expect to feel physically, mentally and emotionally empowered to take the reins of your personal and professional well-being.

We’re all aware of the existing gender gap resulting in less women at the top, BUT do we actually know why it’s happening? In this talk, we’ll focus on one of the top reasons the gender gap exists – burnout. Although there’s a lot of chatter about the problem, and while boards are taking notice, we’re still not addressing the root cause of the problem: lack of a proper well-being strategy. In this discussion, we’ll review the real cost of female burnout and provide effective ways to immediately empower our employees and our organizations for a win-win solution.
