Speaker: Kristina Beauchesne
As we move beyond a Covid dominated world where we’ve each been affected with different stresses, we will need support more than ever, to refuel the connection and humanity in our workplaces. Kristina explores how we can get to that point where teams are meaningfully connected and where positive, inclusive cultures can be established. Kristina’s rich interactive three part workshop called, ‘A Culture of Connection and Caring,’ is an evidence-based program which embodies the belief that, when aligned, individual and organizational core values work in tandem with other related facets such as trust, connection, empathy and play in helping to create psychologically safe work cultures that thrive.
Building on these themes, the purpose of this session will serve as a very brief introduction to the 5 key pillars in creating and/or maintaining a psychologically safe, inclusive, and diverse work environment. Together, we’ll begin to address the role and relationship between play in helping to create positive cultures where organizational health exists.
