Learning Objective: Use strategies to increase productivity and career longevity

When emails pile up, co-workers test your patience, and organizational politics create conflict, it can be a part-time job to stay focused and committed. Most employees, despite finding work that they feel is aligned with what they enjoy, experience varying levels of burnout throughout their careers. All professionals, at all levels, need to share tools and techniques to stay connected to the vision, mission, and goals. For some, you may feel that you are in a position that may not quite fit your bigger vision. The challenge for you is still the same. We must connect with our values, find ways to express our identity and creativity, and find passion. “Wherever you go, there you are.” Become a professional who seeks opportunities to express your greatness despite changing tasks, and circumstances. This workshop will help you re-energize and shift your thinking in ways that can turn a dead end into a multiple path of opportunities, morale, and effectiveness.

At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

1. Identify strategies to connect personal and professional values.
2. Manage stress, change, and industry rumors.
3. Examine strategies to move from a task manager to strategic professional.
4. Explore five techniques to cultivate passion and commitment.
