From Surviving to Thriving: The Next Pivot for Women Leaders

Join Dr. Keely Rees and Dr. Jodi Vandenberg-Daves, experienced facilitators of health and leadership development, for a community-building leadership retreat especially for women in fields greatly impacted by the pandemic. We will take stock of our waning pandemic moment, learn how women leaders with high emotional labor loads can regroup, rebuild resilience, cope with ongoing transitions, and support one another.  This retreat is for emerging and established leaders in health care, public health, and related fields. 

Agenda will be customized to participant needs and will encompass topics such as:

• Workplace Contexts in 2023:  Challenges and Opportunities
• Your Skills and Strengths
• Negotiation and Self-Advocacy
• Mentorship and Sponsorship
• Bringing Values to Work
• DEI and Inclusive Leadership
• Gender and Communication
• Career Transitions and Overall Planning
• Demystifying Leadership: What is Leadership Why Do We Lead?
• Valuing Emotional Labor:  Caregiving and Women’s Emotional Labor
• Resilience Anchored in Boundaries
• Alignment of Purpose and Practice
• Understanding of Career Chapters
• Health, Mindfulness, Wellness in Relation to Work

You will walk away with enhanced self awareness about your career in the context of your life and goals, specific strategies and actionable ideas for your next pivot.
