EVENTS & WEBINARS

This workshop will give you simple and actionable information to protect your data in the modern world.  Over 3 sessions, we will go through many topics from password management to data backups to firewalls.  Join this workshop if you know you need to start acting to protect your data, but you’re not sure where to start.

When it comes to attracting and keeping talent many employers are relying on what used to work, but due to the impacts of low unemployment rates, the pandemic, heightened awareness of diversity, inclusion and indigenous rights, past practices in many cases aren’t working. Are your HR practices keeping up?

In this 3 hour session, you will talk about trends, best practices and tips on developing a resilient strategy for hiring, onboarding and retaining your workforce.

Participants are encouraged to bring their questions and insights for the group discussion.

Part 1: Overcoming Burnout (and how to prevent it in the first place!)

Things like burnout, health concerns, economic hardship, and work-life conflict top the list of challenges people have faced over the past 15 months. This can result in more sick days and health insurance claims, and negatively impacts productivity and morale for you and your team. In order to help reduce overwhelm and fatigue, while improving self-awareness and self-care, simple physical and mental coping strategies are a must.

Part 2: Feed Your Body, Move Your Mind 

We all know that desk jobs are bad for our health. Just like we know that poor health and low energy are bad for our bottom line. Thankfully, there are many ways that we can counter those effects. You will leave this workshop feeling empowered to create a “healthy culture” in your business or organization through the implementation of easy effective health and fitness hacks.

Part 3: From Self-Judgement to Self-Love 

Self-confidence is a learned behaviour, it’s not something you’re born with. Sadly, 90% of people are dissatisfied with their bodies leading to feelings of self-judgement and low self-confidence; both factors that impact career success. Whether it’s speaking up in a boardroom meeting or attending a social work function with confidence, self-love is in the driver’s seat.
