    Join us on January 16, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. (7:45 a.m. for check-in, coffee and conversation) at The Richmond Heights Community Center where Justine Froelker will discuss how self-awareness, emotional wellbeing, and authentic connection help us create cultures of belonging and courage at work.

      • Understand how values keep us in our integrity and courage.
    • To practice emotional well-being.
      • Learn emotional literacy and how emotions show up.
      • Learn how to identify emotions correctly, cope with them effectively, and how to stop reacting from them.
    • To choose connection through vulnerability.
      • Define vulnerability and recognize its role in fostering connection at home and at work.
      • Learn the role of courageous vulnerability in leadership
    • To build and repair trust.
      • Identify and practice the elements of deep-rooted trust.
    • To stay curious, communicate clearly, and maintain boundaries.
      • Learn and apply techniques for clear communication and curious language to improve understanding and reduce conflicts.
