A Brain Based Perspective: Grace, Grit, Surviving, Thriving, or All of the Above?

Join us for an engaging online Lunch and Learn event focused on A Brain-Based Perspective to Resilience. Grace, Grit, Surviving, Thriving, or All of the Above with our featured speaker, Ms. Kim Guevara, MA, CEO + Founder, Mozaik Solutions. In today's unpredictable world, it's crucial to equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to stay mentally and emotionally resilient during challenging times.

Within homeland security, emergency management, and related professions, we have learned – often through the example of the leaders whose footsteps we follow, to be “tough”. To not feel and not be tired, or burnt out, or exhausted – or at least never admit it. Or if you do, make sure you follow it up with a caveat that shows you didn’t really mean it. If you’re a woman? Well, you have even more to “prove”. Record numbers of talented emergency professionals have left the field, and new incoming talent dips their toe in the water only to leave when they see the churn. Somehow we’ve even managed to turn the word “resilient” into a competition and value judgment for ourselves and others. On the flip side, some days we do need to get the job done. We are the ones who seek to prevent the emergency, and keep things running when the crisis happens. So what do we do about it? Is the seemingly elusive “balance” even possible? Join us for an interactive session that leverages the power of neuroscience research, groundbreaking study results on the unique stressors in emergency management, ways to increase energy, and application to the fields of emotional competence and intelligence (EQ), with a dash of GQ (generational intelligence).

The webinar will feature an interactive Q&A session.
