The L&D Team invites you to focus on your wellbeing with Ana Devlin Gauthier.

Wellness is often considered a state of mind, but in reality it is an act of practice. For our first L&D Community Read, we will be reading Burnout, by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski. The book is relevant for “ . . .anyone who has felt overwhelmed and exhausted by everything they have to do, yet still worried they weren’t doing ‘enough’.”

Each week we will come together to discuss the content of the book and how the concepts apply to our specific situation. Attendance is encouraged, though not required, for all four sessions.

The Learning & Development Team invites you to develop your team with Ana Devlin Gauthier.

Developing high levels of team cohesion helps build community and culture and supports innovative and collaborative approaches to work.  This session will give an overview of the “Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing” model and discuss potential action strategies tied to each stage. Participants will leave the session with an action plan that addresses the specifics of their own team’s development needs.

The L&D Team invites you to develop your supervisory skills with Ana Devlin Gauthier.

Research shows that consistent, effective 1:1 meetings are closely linked to feelings of engagement and enhanced outcomes. Yet, this important practice often gets bumped from the calendar. This session will share specific best practices examples including meeting formats, tools, topics and cadence. Participants will leave with their own proactive plan for incorporating 1:1 meeting into their leadership practice.

This is a session designed for anyone who actively supervises others and will complete an annual review.
