    Rising Strong: The Power of Resilence through Adversity with Lindsay Roberts

    Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult situations. In a world where challenges and uncertainties are inevitable, building resilience is essential to living a fulfilling and successful life. This workshop aims to equip you with practical tools and strategies to develop and strengthen your resilience. We will explore resilience, identify your strengths, and areas of growth. We will also identify common obstacles to resilience, such as counterproductive self-talk and learn strategies to overcome them. We will have opportunities to discuss lessons we've learned over time and how we can build our resilience to thrive. 

    11:30am-1:00pm

    Lunch, Chapter Business and The Power of Empathy: Developing Emotional Intelligence for Stronger Relationships with Lindsay Roberts

    Emotional intelligence and empathy are essential skills that play a vital role in our personal and professional lives. In today's fast paced world, it can be easy to overlook the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence, but these skills allow us to build strong relationships, foster trust, and enhance our overall well-being. Join us in exploring the power of empathy and emotional intelligence and how they can enhance our lives. 

    1:15pm-4:30pm

    Communication Styles: Understanding communication styles and the power of
    effectively communicating with Matt Griswold 

    Communication is hard. People always say they need more communication and everyone
    believes that they are good communicators. We also have a growing number of methods to
    communicate: phone, text, group messages on multiple platforms, meetings, zoom calls, and so much more. But the truth is, we all communicate differently, and how we communicate directly impacts whether someone can effectively interpret our messages.

    We will show participants the four types of communication styles, have them discover their
    type, and talk through ways to most effectively communicate with each type. Participants
    will learn that it is not only important to know how they like to communicate - but why it is
    more important to know how others like to communicate.

    • Understand the concept that communication is multi-directional
    • Determine the modes and methods for communication
    • Discuss how miscommunication happens
    • Determine their communication style
    • Examine each style and how they interact with other styles
    • Strategize ways to more effectively communicate with others

    Heros and Villains: The stories we tell ourselves and how it affects our relationships at work with Matt Griswold 

    We all love a good story. Whether it is at the movies, on Netflix, or a book you can't put
    down, humans are conditioned to enjoy the art of storytelling. But did you know that
    each person has their own version of each story? Communication experts have
    determined that how we interpret a story paints our perception of reality. Additionally,
    our perceived experiences alter our interpretations of future experiences and
    interactions with others. This oftentimes leads us to be the hero in our own story and
    makes others the villains.

    • Learn about the concept of Narrative Paradigms
    • Discuss the nature of intent and assigning intent to the actions of others
    • Identify the importance of understanding how our perceptions paint our reality
    • Consider how perceived injustices can impact a team or a coworker
    • Discuss ways to shift your own narrative paradigm and recognize when others have a false paradigm about you
