Operating Instructions for Optimal Learning, Teaching, and Living

Spring Conference on Teaching, Learning, and Student Success

Topic: Keynote

Presented By: Lisa Laughman, LMSW & ACSW

Abstract:
This session will offer a helpful vantage point from which to live life that transcends some of the dominant cultural narratives and expectations that can lead us to separate from our own humanity and wellbeing while in pursuit of our academic and professional goals. The session will include skill building and grounding practices designed to help you navigate the difficult terrain of work-life responsibilities with less wear and tear on yourself. The conversation will also illuminate the importance of extending and demonstrating empathic concern to others in our learning communities.
