Hello Stronger Together folks,
Join us on Thursday, March 13, at 7 p.m. This week’s topic is Forgiveness.
We want to forgive those who do bad things or wrong us personally, but that is easier said than done. Let’s talk about the struggle. We’ll watch this short video on the complexity and personal cost of “forgive and forget (or not).”
Warm up question: What is your favorite way to help people less fortunate than you?
How can we strengthen our resilience muscle to survive difficult times as gracefully as possible? Let’s talk about it! Here is a short video to get us talking: Three invaluable tools to boost your resilience.
Warm up question: What person, personal or famous, whose resilience do you admire, and why?
Given our divisive political situation it might be helpful to define our core personal values, and in that process help understand the core values of others and what motivates us all. Let’s talk about it.
Here is a video on how to work out your personal values.
Warm up question: Name a famous person you admire and explain why.
Wow, I can’t believe they moved up that deadline, how can I can I get everything done by then? Oh boy, I have to tell my boss I have to miss the meeting because my daughter got into another fight at school. I heard there are going to be layoffs, am I on the list?
Workplace stress happens in many ways. Let’s talk about it. Here is a short video to get us going.
WARMUP QUESTION: What is the best thing about snow days?
Many of us feel that things in our world might be changing, and we are not sure how the changes might impact us. Uncertainty is something we deal with regularly, from which college will accept my child, to what the doctor will say after analyzing the test results. This week in Stronger Together we will discuss Coping with Uncertainty. Please join us.
We’ll watch this video about Coping with Uncertainty.
Warm up: When was a time you were sure that something would or would not happen a certain way, and you were wrong?
What is going to happen next at work? How do I deal with the stress and uncertainty? This week we will discuss the recent changes and layoffs affecting our Federal Workers.
WARM UP: Tell us about a funny incident that happened sometime to you at work.
