Drew Dudley's Sessions
Plenary Session
Date: October 20, 2023
Time: 9:15 am - 9:30 am
Plenary Session
Employers today are facing a crisis of confidence amongst their employees resulting in higher resignations, staffing shortages, and «quiet quitting». 44% of employees today, for example, say they currently experience «a lot» of stress versus the previous day with 25% saying they felt worried, angry, or sad. People simply can`t work at their best if they don`t feel safe. Employers are thus increasingly seeking to leverage health and wellness initiatives to navigate change and uncertainty in their workplaces.
In this presentation, Drew Dudley offers audiences several simple yet transformative leadership strategies for embedding self-care strategies and cultivating resilience and psychological safety into their daily routines. Through powerful stories that recognize the difficult parts of life and work with humour and compassion, audiences will discover how to close the gap between the person they are and the person they want to be without compromising their happiness, fulfillment, or work-life balance.
This presentation is a great addition to your agenda if you believe your audience could benefit from a reminder that they are not alone in their frustrations and fears and that taking care of themselves is an essential part of feeling engaged and connected every day.
