Exchange Series
Presented by GenEQ
Have you been looking for a supportive community to help with your professional development? Not sure where to go, who to talk to, or maybe a little intimidated?
Faculty, staff and graduate students who identify as women, gender diverse, or as allies, are invited to participate in the GenEQ’s inaugural Exchange Series (UofG’s Gender Equity Initiative).
Practicing self-compassion is sometimes viewed as being self-indulgent, self-absorbed or letting ourselves off easy. In fact, self-compassion enables us to evaluate our experiences more rationally and also kicks in to help us develop more effective solutions for making things better. Research shows that practicing self-compassion is a powerful tool for motivation and is strongly related to psychological well-being, including increased life satisfaction and resilience and decreased anxiety and depression.
Grab your skates and head down to the Gryphon Centre Arena for a recreational skate to take a break in the day. Hosted by Athletics & Recreation for staff and faculty to attend as part of Wellness @ Work. Helmets are recommended and staff and faculty should bring their U of G cards. Attendees will need to sign a waiver before entering the rink.
Skate Rentals are available at Gryph's Locker in the arena. $10 per rental. See more info on the Athletics & Recreation website.
As we continue to navigate many global, national, local or personal crises, many have become numb or indifferent to the challenges we face and manage on a daily basis. Many have entered a state of ‘rinse and repeat’ with a lack of simple motivation or enthusiasm. This state of stagnation with feelings of emptiness is known as languishing. This one-hour webinar will help employees better understand languishing while providing self-care strategies that promote resilience.
