Morning Keynote

How to Create a Culture of Well-Being for Yourself, Team, and Organization While Changing the World with Meico Marquette Whitlock

As a nonprofit professional, you are driven to do more and more, often with
fewer and fewer resources. But there comes a breaking point where your passion dwindles under the weight of pressure, the mission suffers, and you feel like you love the work more than it loves you back.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Creating a healthier workplace requires a long-term commitment to transforming burnout culture, where overwhelm is an accepted norm, to a culture that supports our whole health and fuels us to do good sustainably for the long haul. It’s about more than occasional gift cards, branded swag, and happy hours.

This interactive session will provide a space to reflect on what you need as an individual and a team to create a sustainable culture of well-being while well-doing. We’ll explore practical strategies and outline a plan for putting them into action so you can thrive in the evolving workplace without self-sacrifice.

Learning Intentions:

• Review the latest research and trends on how the evolving workplace is impacting our well-being and organizational impact
• Explore practices for taking care of yourself and your team while making an impact
• Learn the essentials for creating a sustainable workplace well-being action plan

Afternoon Session

Navigating Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Change with Erick Seelbach

Overwhelm. Anxiety. Stress. Change. All of these can keep us from focusing on what we need to, and if unaddressed, can have a significant impact on our mental, spiritual, and physical health. Fortunately, there are several practical things we can do to navigate these.

Following the rhythms and cycles of nature, fall is a time of transition and change as we harvest wisdom and prepare for winter’s looking inward, introspection, and reflection. During fall, we focus on personal growth, letting go of the past, and embracing change. It’s a great time to learn to strengthen and trust our intuition, connect our minds and hearts, and let our authenticity guide us.

In this session, we’ll work through a variety of aspects of the navigation process, and we’ll leave with some ideas of things to do or areas for further exploration. Come with an open mind and heart.

Together we’ll explore how to:

• Identify your values, support systems, and self-care activities so that you can keep yourself grounded and centered throughout the change process;
• Recognize what you have control over and what you don’t so that you can spend your energy on what will really get you through the change;
• Exercise your intuition so that any change you make is in alignment with who you are and who you want to be;
• Identify things that trigger anxiety and overwhelm for you so that you can be prepared for whatever shows up;
• Understand the ways that anxiety and overwhelm show up for you so that you can more quickly recognize when they are impacting you;
• Learn methods for reducing anxiety and overwhelm that resonate with you so that you can be more proactive in working through them.
