Values to refer to activities that give our lives meaning. Values are not goals in that we never “accomplish” a value. Instead, values are like a compass–they help us make choices based on the directions in which we want our lives to go. When we align our values with our goals and behaviours we work towards achieving wellness.  Join this interactive workshop that is rooted in the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to increase self-awareness of our values, understand the impact our values have on our wellness, and how our values guide our decisions.

For Senior Leaders, Chairs, Directors, and People Managers Appreciation, recognition, and gratitude are a remarkably strong source of energy that we all possess. When leaders can tap into that powerful source of energy it can have a deep, positive effect on work relationships and successful outcomes. In this session we will explore the science behind the impact of appreciation, recognition, and gratitude, what makes it such a dynamic force and the specific ways you can integrate these energy sources into your daily leadership practice.
