Practical Wellness, Part 1 (Prairie Suite)
Cassandra Whitmore, RD, LMNT
COVID placed a strain on us, both physically and mentally. As we emerge from the "emergency state", it's important that we learn how to no longer just survive, but thrive. We'll discuss why wellness matters and what to focus on. Most importantly, we will talk wellness tips that you can take to the workplace, bring back to your families, and use for yourself - no workplace wellness program needed! While the focus of this presentation is on nutrition, we will touch on other areas of wellness that you may not have considered before. The goal of this session is to find permanent habits you can use in your everyday life to be healthier and feel your best without feeling like wellness is a second job. (This session is offered in 2 parts due to time constraints; each session will contain different information.)
The Three Cs of Purposeful Partnerships (Great Plains A)
Joy Eakin, Entrepreneurship Program Manager, NUtech Ventures
Kate Engel, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Communication, Nebraska Innovation Campus
This session, The 3 Cs of Purposeful Partnerships, will introduce participants to a practical framework for collaborating with others in order to solve problems and work efficiently. This approach to effective and purposeful partnerships focuses on 3 C’s: communication, collaboration, and coordination.
Presenters will share some practical examples of their own partnerships, as well as general examples for putting into practice the 3 C’s. Participants will be encouraged to complete exercises that apply the content and framework to their own personal and/or professional lives. Plenty of time will be allotted for small group discussion and hands-on work.
Individuals who enjoy sharing ideas, getting involved in discussion, and applying concepts to their own work should enjoy participating in this workshop.
