    Session Overview

    Conflict shows up in many ways in public life. We know this from our own experiences in communities, with family, friends, and neighbors. Conflict is also amplified by all forms of media and within our institutions. When passions are high, it is a sign that something matters. How can we honor the passion yet hold onto safety and respect? Learning to respond in more productive ways takes practice – in person and online. Michele will facilitate the opportunity to practice sticking with a tough conversation.

      Session Overview

      Burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress, is at an all-time high. And that is a problem for individuals and businesses. The cost to business is low productivity, high turnover, and the loss of the most capable talent. The cost to individuals includes lost wages, decreased motivation and energy, and increased risk of illness. Recognizing burnout is an important first step in burnout prevention and recovery.

      Audience members will learn

      • Stages of the burnout cycle
      • Causes and consequences of burnout
      • Burnout prevention and recovery

        Session Overview

        Workers are feeling the weight of their personal finances, and recent studies have shown that although people want to be able to save money, plan for retirement and pay off debt, they are often not making meaningful progress resulting in stress. Left unaddressed, financial stress inhibits workplace productivity, creates an imbalance in their personal lives and leaves many workers unable to retire at normal retirement age. The workplace impact of personal financial concerns include the following: 

        • 8 in 10 employees worry about their finances at work
        • 3-4 hours is the average time spent on finances at work each month
        • More than 4 in 10 workers say they would be more productive without their current financial worries
