Thank you for your interest in attending the
"Cultivating Educator Resilience: Ride the Waves of Change and Celebrate and Appreciate" workshop on
Wednesday, May 8, 2024 from
4:30-6:00 PM EST in Crowe Hall 107. This session will be on campus, and there will be
NO Zoom option. Other workshops in this series (#4, #5, #6, & #7) will be fully on Zoom. This workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Letourneau. This workshop is part nine of a nine-part series.
Workshop Description: Change is the one thing we can count on, and when we encounter it, we can harness our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energies, and direct them where they will make the biggest difference. Perseverance, patience, and courage help us manage change. Individual and collective celebrations, as well as the practice of gratitude, is the capstone to the habits in this workshop series. Even during hard moments, if we can shift into a stance of appreciation, we’ll build our resilience. Appreciation cultivates our trust in ourselves, in a process, and perhaps in something greater, which helps us respond to the inevitable challenges of life.
