2023 Lecture Series #2: Elevating Your Connections

As we learn how to navigate a hybrid work environment in our firms and with our project teams, it is important to intentionally create opportunities to forge social connections that are meaningful and supportive. These connections provide a solid foundation as a source of wellbeing while navigating changes and achieving a complex balance between work and life. Participants will learn how to identify, establish, and prioritize quality connections and relationships to improve and increase overall productivity while also finding balance in life. Self-care practices coupled with managing relationships are keys to being successful as we return the office and implement hybrid schedules.

1. Explain and illustrate why it is important to foster inclusion and belonging in a hybrid work environment.
2. Define and discuss psychological safety, why it matters and how to identify it in your work environment at a team level, office level, and organizational level.
3. Explore and build understanding of the belief system and assess how it can influence us when asking for help and trusting others.
4. Examine how to create better boundaries in relationships to gain balance in work and life.
