What every leader needs to know about anxiety

Anxiety challenges people, families, organizations, and communities like never before. But what do you actually know about the science of anxiety? This session provides an evidence-based understanding of anxiety so you can become your own expert. The cognitive model and behavior therapy can help you prevent and manage your own anxiety. You will also learn to apply the direct, actionable implications of the science of anxiety in your role as a community or business leader. How can you recognize anxiety-driven performance issues and support your team? What policies and resources actually increase anxiety? Can you transform adversity to foster a more confident, courageous future? This session disseminates tenants that need to be shared broadly to effectively manage the epidemic of anxiety.

Burnout & Resilience in Healthcare

Working in healthcare is relentless. The system is on the brink and too often our teams are too. This session is structured to be inclusive and engaging in order to both validate your providers, leaders, and support team and empower them with knowledge and strategies they can use by acknowledging the relentlessly demanding nature of modern healthcare. Participants will learn to distinguish between constructs like burnout, operational stress, and moral injury not just by definitions, but through real stories. The second half of the session is supported by individual companion resources to allow participants to experience success using evidence-based strategies. Participants will walk away with the recognition that the ideas and skills transferred in this conversation are more durable than those shared by motivational speakers or a Friday off for a back massage! Participants gain the confidence to let go of cynicism and fear and to embrace uncertainty and support of one another.
