Workshop Description: We are in uncharted territory with the pandemic and the unknowns about the economy and job market. Most people are feeling a heightened sense of concern and worry. This situation can lead to an increase in levels of stress (and spikes in our cortisol) that can adversely impact our well-being and our effectiveness. However, there are some things you can do. Including a bit of neuroscience, this workshops aims to help you move yourself out of that “fight or flight” state and into one that is more sustainable and more effective.  In this interactive webinar we’ll discuss details about how stress impacts us, as well as how mindfulness practices and positive psychology principles can help.

Practicing various forms of mindfulness can reduce your stress and move you towards being healthier, more productive, and calmer during times of uncertainty. These practices are being capitalized upon by Pharma/Biotech CEOs, not to mention being used to transform whole education systems.
You’ll learn techniques to:
- Lower your stress - with tips that fit into an already busy schedule
- Approach big decisions (like career transitions and job searches) feeling more calm and confident
- Use visualization to enhance interview and presentation success
The aim of this session is to give you fresh ideas to help you understand your stress and build resilience to reduce its impact on your life. This session will be taught by Holistic Career Coach & Linkedin Trainer, Sabrina Woods.

This workshop is co-sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: Postdoc and Graduate Student Affairs Office, Boston Children's Hospital: Office of Fellowship Training, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health: PDA and Office of Faculty Affairs, and the FAS Office of Postdoctoral Fellows
