Session 1: Leading Yourself Through Change without Burning Out | Wednesday, October 15 from Noon to 1 p.m. CDT
This portion of the series guides you through how to identify your own values, set goals that reflect those values, and project manage the resulting change so that it feels flexible and doable in the long-term. We will discuss how to jump-start your motivation for change, as well as how to navigate conflicting feelings we have about change. Of course, a major barrier to change is burning out, or feeling deflated, demotivated, or even devoid of energy to change. We will discuss how to manage normal and inevitable internal obstacles to change to protect and improve your well-being during times of change.
