Practice the Pause (In-Person Event)
We often move through our days at full speed without pausing to notice how we’re feeling or what might support our well-being. This presentation offers simple, practical ways to build brief moments of pause into your day and move toward better work–life integration. We’ll share accessible self-care tools that don’t require much time or money, including breathing techniques, values exercises, micro-habits, digital detoxing, gratitude practices, and intention setting. These strategies can be used personally and shared with work teams, relationships, or clients. Our goal is for you to leave with easy, effective tools you can use and pass along. REGISTER HERE
