In prevention our work is often dictated by funders, work plans, emerging trends and a never-ending to-do list. This can leave us feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and our motivation can take a hit. This session will reignite your passion, your spark, and motivation to keep doing the important work that is prevention! When you find your WHY and live in alignment with it, it will lead you toward fulfillment in your work and in life. This interactive workshop is designed to guide you through the steps to find your WHY - your personal purpose, cause, or belief. 

This training will lead you to better understand what drives motivation to engage and commit time, energy and resources to any initiative. By learning to understand this core value you can help facilitate increased engagement and minimize frustration.
