Grief does not stop at the workplace door. It can impact performance, communication, relationships, and overall well-being. Because grief looks different for everyone, it is often misunderstood — yet they are our individual natural responses to loss.
This session provides practical insight and tools to better understand grief and help foster a more compassionate workplace culture.
In This Session, You Will:
- Gain a high-level understanding of grief and how it affects the five realms of experience
- Recognize how grief can impact daily routines, focus, and team dynamics
- Identify grief activations
- Learn practical ways to support yourself and colleagues
- Build confidence in using supportive, person-first language — including what to say and what not to say
- Understand the role of self-compassion
- Learn how to create a culture of compassion that promotes empathy and understanding in both our personal and professional lives
