Pre-Convention Session | Being Selfish to Be Selfless: Maximizing Your Ability to Serve and Lead Others

Kick off your convention experience early with this complimentary pre-convention session—open to all attendees!

The vast majority of leaders in higher education are incredibly selfless people. While this is both admirable and important, too often that benevolence and focus on others can lead to a disproportionately low amount of care for ourselves, which ultimately hinders our capabilities as leaders. In this session we will discuss why it is crucial to prioritize our own overall well-being in order to not only maximize our ability to serve others, but also to effectively and efficiently communicate, make crucial decisions, and help lead our teams and institutions on a trajectory of growth and innovation.

Key takeaways:
1. How to build up resilience as both a person and a professional
2. How the brain reacts to stress, and the impacts of that
3. How experiences can manifest into strong opinions
4. Awareness, and the value of the "pause button"
5. The value of, and strategies for cultivating, inner peace
