Optimizing Values Alignment for Wellbeing

When managing stress, we often focus on diet, exercise, and sleep, but what about the impact of living in alignment with our core values? This session explores the powerful connection between values alignment and wellbeing, examining how misalignment can create tension between our authentic selves and professional lives. Prioritizing external rewards, like financial gains or societal approval, often leads to stress and burnout, distancing us from what truly motivates us.

In this reflective session, you’ll identify the values that matter most to you, assess areas of misalignment, and explore strategies to realign your professional and personal goals. Through guided exercises, participants will engage in a personal values alignment and goal-setting activity, crafting a path forward that emphasizes purpose, fulfillment, and harmony. Leave equipped with tools to reconnect with your authentic self, make purposeful choices, and foster balance and wellbeing through values alignment.

Focus on the Human, and All Else Will Follow

Inspired by Google's guiding principle, "Focus on the user and all else will follow," many organizations have embraced this mantra in their decision making process. However, in our evolving landscape, it's time to refine this focus. With the rise of AI, a growing loneliness epidemic, and escalating burnout rates, prioritizing the human needs of both workers and customers is imperative.

In this session, we will explore proven strategies to center our workplaces around human wellbeing. By prioritizing the human element, we can foster environments where employees, workplaces, and communities they serve not only function but thrive. Attendees will discover how focusing on human wellbeing contributes to increased employee satisfaction, reduced burnout, and a more connected workplace culture. Moreover, we will highlight how these practices lead to higher productivity, innovation, and ultimately, more successful and profitable organizations.

We’ll delve into a variety of techniques suitable for work and at home, from breathing exercises and mindful listening to practices that enhance focus and self-compassion.

Practical, accessible, and adaptable, the strategies presented will allow you to approach each day with greater clarity, emotional regulation, and resilience.

This session invites participants to reimagine mindfulness in ways that are approachable, adaptable, and impactful, providing lasting benefits for both personal growth & wellbeing.

The Importance of Career Wellbeing for Holistic Health

Did you know that career wellbeing is considered the most essential element of overall wellbeing? Many individuals underestimate just how impactful our careers are to our health, but when you consider the hours we spend working, it becomes clear that it shapes our personal wellness. If you don’t find fulfillment in your daily work, research shows it can negatively affect other dimensions of wellbeing - physical, social, financial, and community.

In this session, you'll discover how career wellbeing directly impacts your health & wellbeing and learn practical strategies to take charge of your professional life. By aligning your career with your values and passions, you can create a positive ripple effect that enhances your physical health, social connections, and financial stability.

We'll explore the connection between career and personal wellness and show you how to take actionable steps toward creating a career that supports your holistic health.
