From time to time, everyone faces circumstances that make it hard to feel good about themselves. When people are under extreme stress, are sick or are having a difficult time at home or work, it is easy to be drawn into a downward spiral of lower and lower self-esteem. This seminar is designed to provide participants with ideas and practical strategies that they can begin using immediately to increase self-esteem and begin to feel better about themselves.
Presented by SupportLinc Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Resiliency is essential in a work environment where everyone feels pressured to produce more work, of higher quality, with fewer people, in less time and with fewer resources. With challenges in our personal lives as well, it is clear that everyone must learn how to be change-proficient, cope with unexpected setbacks and overcome adversity. This seminar will provide employees with the tools necessary to adapt to challenges and changes at home and at work, while helping them become successful, more productive employees and improve their overall quality of life.
We are all good at attending to the needs of those around us, but we often forget to attend to our own needs. And that is a set up for things like burnout, stress, and resentment. Research shows that people who adopt self-compassion practices have less depression and anxiety and are more likely to experience positive mind states like happiness and life satisfaction. This session will explore what self-compassion means and offer some simple ways to offer it to yourself.
