Fit, Fired Up and Fueled for Fulfillment

With the news of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) inviting a heightened sense of uncertainty and apprehension, the commitment to promote health and wellness in our community has never been stronger. 

We realize it is imperative that we all work together during this crisis of instability to stabilize and find solutions to the numerous social determinants that threaten our emotional well-being and will continue to adjust and provide answers to help deal with the mental and emotional impact of our new normal. As the various things going on in our world continue to escalate, so does the associated frustration, anxiety, repetitive thoughts, indecisiveness, suspicious, and depression. 

Team members who are "Optimally Well" feel good about themselves, their relationships, and their purpose in life. They are empowered to take every aspect of their lives to higher levels of excellence. 

Wellness is very important to experiencing success in the 21st century workplace. Your team will 

be guided through a personal empowerment experience that will help them to assess and make steps to improve their optimal wellness and have the tools to be effective leaders. 

The goal of this module is for each attendee to move closer to obtaining   

"Optimal Wellness" by:

* Valuing Self: This includes having healthy emotional, cognitive, and physical habits; and engaging in meaningful and rewarding activities. 

* Finding Balance and Purpose: This includes having a sense of balance, meaning, and purpose in life; having meaningful beliefs and practices; and being able to adapt to change and cope successfully with adversity. Team members will learn how to thrive in a time of crisis.

*  Connecting with Others: This includes having compassion for others; identifying with a community; and having meaningful, rewarding, and supportive relationships. 

Your staff will be led through self-reflective activities and discussions that highlight the seven dimensions of wellness and unveils how they impact performance and overall quality of life. This critical module will provide them with the essential tools to navigate the uncertain times we find ourselves in as a nation. They will be properly equipped to manage their personal wellness and encourage wellness in their students and parents.

Personality clashes are cited by employees as the leading cause of work place conflicts which cost U.S. companies more than $350 billion each year(Source: CPP, Inc.)  Work demands can bring numerous opportunities for stress and frustration alone, but combine these challenges with staff conflicts, personality clashes and snarled lines of communication and it becomes virtually impossible to deliver excellence. 

The What's Your FLAVA? system can help your staff communicate more effectively with leadership, colleagues, students, parents and the community at large. Effective communication will be an essential component that leads to successful outcomes as we move forward in the tenuous days ahead.

During this Training Module attendees will:

1. Gain insights into their FLAVA  and the FLAVAs of others 

2. Participate in interactive team building activities that showcase the FLAVAs at work

3. Enhance effective communication and leadership skills through understanding the FLAVAs

4. Gain an understanding of leveraging FLAVA in relationships, organizational responsibilities, and effective management of talent.
