Join us in celebrating Women in Construction Week with a lunch and a presentation featuring our guest speaker, Dr. Lauren Cook, as we discuss how to mentally surf instead of sinking in unpredictable waters in the workplace.
Dr. Lauren Cook is a therapist, consultant, speaker, and author. She travels around the country while also offering virtual and hybrid options to support teams with their retention, morale, and engagement through the lens of mental wellness. Dr. Lauren is passionate about bringing mental health to people of all ages and identities, particularly in the workplace. She integrates empirically-supported research and neuroscience to inform her evidence-based teachings.
FOCUS:
Why does learning to mentally ride the waves matter? So much of the time, life feels uncontrollable and unpredictable. Many employees feel overwhelmed on a daily basis and it impacts their ability to do well at work– and stay in their roles. Dr. Lauren teaches teams how to practice acceptance, cognitive flexibility, and resilience to cope with whatever waters we find ourselves in. With a normalizing and empathetic approach, attendees will leave feeling empowered and hopeful as they learn how to ride the waves and stay the course.
TAKEAWAYS:
Integrate the W.A.V.E.S. model to learn how to adapt in real time
Identify sources of support as well as the mental sharks
Target unhelpful thoughts and learn how to reframe mindset while shifting behavior to feel better
DOOR PRIZES: Attendees will have the chance to win a copy of Dr. Lauren Cook's new book Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide for Staying Afloat in Uncertain Times.
