BONUS SESSION ADDED
Join us for a 45-min post-event interactive professional wellness workshop: Foster Authentic Connections in the Workplace led by Licensed Therapist and Master Wellbeing Teacher, Jotina Buck of Root + Yoke Wellness.
According to recent research, 42% of global employees have experienced a decline in mental health since the pandemic began. Post-pandemic connections in the workplace are suffering as a result. It’s more important now than ever to invest in building meaningful relationships with all stakeholders in the workplace. Professionals in architecture and design are already familiar with design strategies for healthier environments - such as natural ventilation and lighting, noise control systems, and a good choice of materials and furniture - but few people have a deep understanding of how to fortify their own mental health or to foster authentic connections in building solid networks.
In this session you will learn:
compassionate communication strategies
care tools to prevent burnout
breathwork to support brain fluency and creativity
authentic connections relationship-building skills
meditative practice for high-performing professionals on-the-go
