We’ve undergone tremendous changes in the past couple of years. The learning curve has never been so steep.

Our stress levels, anxiety, and fear have risen to all-time highs while our certainty and access to regular routines have plummeted. Our boundaries have changed and become fuzzy. And talk about the ‘new normal’ is rife – yet who can even remember the old ‘normal’?
While we’re all in this together, our situations vary wildly, which makes it even harder to relate to each other. Meanwhile, throughout these challenges we’re told to look for “balance” in our home and work life. It’s enough to make us dizzy with confusion, trepidation, hopelessness, and more stress.

Fear not. There is hope.
We’ve come a long way in learning how to navigate the challenges of working from home and hybrid. Let’s build on all the things you’ve learned in the past two years and add to your toolkit so you’re healthier, more relaxed, less stressed, and more resilient.
Here’s how.
In this free workshop on August 18th, with me, Lee-Anne Ragan, you’ll:

- Put the elusive myth of work-life balance to bed for good and replace it with a healthier, more realistic and practical outlook (please bring a pen, pencil, spoon or fork!)
- Come to understand some of the best most recent and cutting edge research when it comes to work-life balance
- Know thyself with a simple tool designed to uncover how you’re currently dealing with work-life balance and how you can create more relaxation and balance, and less fear and anxiety.
- Take action with one skill designed to decrease your stress and increase your wellness
- Map three types of stressors and where you’re at with your ‘buckets’, in order to create a customized work-life balance plan that fits you.
- Count the workshop towards your annual UN-Mandated training (If you’re a UN staff)
