Putting the You in UWaterloo

PUTTING THE YOU IN UWATERLOO

This interactive session has one focus - You! Do you long to break away from the ‘day-to-day’ of your professional and personal life? Do you wonder how you can be more effective with your energy, supporting your goals and taking you to the next level? This session, supported by contemporary research, will offer you tools to enhance your success by teaching you about the practices of gratefulness and self-awareness! These tools will be used to gain clarity on your long-term goals, how to achieve them in the short-term, and how you can invest more of YOU into your role at UWaterloo!

  • Participants will experience the positive impact that embracing gratefulness has on their personal and professional lives

  • Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on, and enhance, their self-awareness and apply it to their goals
