Go Small to Go Big: The Power of Micropractices to Shift Engagement
Micro: 'very small, involving minute quantities or variations' Practice: 'a systematic exercise for proficiency' So a micropractice is something small we do to become better at something larger. Like...work. Relationships. Engagement. Happiness. Organizations invest time and resources in broad sweeping 'be happy at work' programs for the many - when what truly shifts engagement is focused attention on the one. Engagement is personal, what makes me engaged may do nothing for you. In this interactive session, you will rotate through three micropractices that support increased engagement and strengthen relationships: defining, holding, and recognizing boundaries; expressing gratitude and appreciating the positive; identifying, using, and celebrating our unique strengths. Investing a few minutes each day in reflection on these micropractices will yield results - happier, healthier, energized, engaged humans. Try on these micropractices so you can role model them for others.
Learning Objectives:
- Define and clarify/differentiate terms - engagement, happiness, and micropractice.
- Describe benefits of defining and holding your boundaries while recognizing the boundaries of others.
- Identify ways to define your own unique strengths and use them at work.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
