Awakening the Soul of Work: Personal & Team Engagement in Times of Transition

We have all had experiences in our work-lives that standout as exceptional. Times when we have joyfully invested 150% of our hearts and minds because we found the work engaging, meaningful and rewarding. Today in our turbulent healthcare environment, the demands on us require each and every one of us to be at our personal and professional best. What can we do to create optimal positive work experiences, ones that connect our mind, body and core values to re-ignite passion, pride and purpose in the workplace? We can start by focusing on the higher purpose of our work and to learn ways to nurture the Soul and Mission of our own life and work.

At the same time, values towards work have shifted and leaders are finding it a challenge to attract, engage and retain the talented people needed to fulfill the enormous demands placed on health care providers. Dr. John Izzo, a former Minister and personal and organizational renewal expert, will focus on the practices and principles necessary to create a fulfilling and meaningful work life. He will also introduce many practical ideas to respond to the changing values of the people we need and value – our employees.

The nature of this work is integrative, in that it helps participants become aware of areas of growth and strength within their own team and personal leadership style. Learn what engages you and how to engage others.
