Women's Network Luncheon: "Practicing the Pause"
Kick off the new year with the GFW Inc. Women's Network by joining us for "Practicing the Pause", an interactive luncheon that will feature connection time, workshop-style learning, and door prize giveaways!
Are you or your team experiencing burnout? Do you feel like everything coming at you is urgent? You are not alone - burnout is the new pandemic. As women navigating diverse roles and responsibilities, it's essential to prioritize our well-being. Our first event of 2024 is dedicated to addressing this issue and equipping you with powerful tools to combat it. At this event we will:
- Explore self-awareness, mindfulness, and the strategic pause to mitigate burnout.
- Learn practical strategies to navigate stress and maintain a healthy work-life blend.
- Connect with like-minded women in a supportive environment, sharing experiences and insights to inspire one another.
- Enjoy a delicious lunch while building authentic connections that extend beyond the event.
