Going Beyond Work-Life Balance to Ignite Passion and Thrive - (10-11am Live Zoom Session - all staff)

There’s no question that every educator faces challenges on the job with ever-increasing demands that lead to stress and put us all at risk for burnout.  School leaders and educators often define themselves through servant leadership, tending to put others’ needs above their own and even end up sacrificing much of their personal time for their careers. If we aren’t intentional about our energy pouring, we may end up drained. Especially in our current circumstances, it is critical to remember that there is much in our lives that we can control, and it is time to empower ourselves to live intentionally in all spaces of our full lives. In this session, we will work toward going beyond surviving and be intentional about personally and professionally thriving.  

3 Objectives:  

Understand that balance at 50/50 formula is a myth, but we can live with passion, purpose, and priority. 

• Learn a more robust way of looking at balance for a full life, focusing on the Balance Quadrants—Personal, Professional, Positional, and Passions.
• Identify the key to thriving with balance, which is acknowledging a need for a mindset shift, assessing current reality, and setting plans to live with intention in all areas of life. 

Intentional Thrive Deep Dive (11:00-12:00, 60 minute pre-recorded session)

Building upon our time in the morning, which defines the case for going beyond a 50/50 work-life formula, this session offers specific strategies and action for participants to take. This workshop session will inspire you to examine where you are pouring energies and draining out as well as where you might make room to reignite flames in your lives that have fizzled.  Attendees will leave feeling relaxed as well as empowered to take intentional steps toward a more fulfilling full life. 

3 Objectives:  

• Self-assess current reality within the four Balance Quadrants, identifying areas of strength and growth. 
• Set actionable goals for building more balance into their lives through the Balance Quadrants.  
• Determine at least two actionable strategies to align with goals in the Balance Quadrants to seek a more intentionally lived life.
