In this interactive session, Suzanne Dailey shares realistic, manageable and proactive strategies based in positive psychology that will help us achieve work/life satisfaction as we navigate this unique time of teaching and leading. We'll unpack some fundamental understandings and then dig deeper to explore small shifts in thoughts, language, and actions. These small and manageable shifts, practiced over time, will help us teach happier, parent happier, partner happier, work happier, and increase our overall happiness and well-being.
