Upcoming Events
Wednesday January 30, 2019
MEMBERS ONLY: Professional Development and Wellness Workshop
Too often in professional policy work, talented professionals are held back in their professional development by a culture that emphasizes sacrifice, hierarchy and "paying our dues" while de-prioritizing the personal wellness and professional growth of individuals. True professional and career development is about intentionally creating alignment between one's professional path and his/her/their individual strengths, skills, values, goals and priorities. Specially customized for SHPYP members, this presentation by John Sawyer will provide practical strategies for approaching our work with greater balance, fulfillment and joy.
WHO: All SHPYP members
WHAT: Interactive professional wellness and development workshop with John Sawyer, founder of JTS Policy and Strategy, leadership coach, and former Director of Federal Affairs at the National Association of Community Health Centers
