Join us for an empowering session where we redefine self-care in the workplace. Traditionally viewed as a preventive measure confined to before and after work hours, self-care is vital to maintaining peak performance throughout your workday. This session will equip you with practical strategies to cultivate positive mental health, manage stress effectively, and silence the inner critic that often leads to burnout. Learn how to integrate self-care seamlessly into your daily routine and be your best self at work.
