Event Description: “The Western workplace culture — exported to many other parts of the world — is practically fueled by stress, sleep-deprivation, and burnout. This is profoundly — and negatively — affecting our creativity, our productivity, and our decision making: the very things entrepreneurs need in order to succeed.” Arianna Huffington As an entrepreneur, it can be easy to drown yourself in work when your to-do list seems to be never-ending. Your business, family, friends, chores, projects… Often there seems to be no time to take care of ourselves. You often have to deal with unusual working hours, time pressures, risk of failure looming, potentially irregular money coming in. Stress and burnout are real concerns. Self-Care reduces stress levels, boosts productivity and improves clarity, creativity, and mental health. We will talk with some local Entrepreneurs to see which strategies are helping to keep them balanced and on top of running their business. By making time for self-care, you will be setting yourself up to be not only healthier and happier but also more productive in your business. This interactive panel is intended to help bring together a variety of experiences from our panelists and the audience. Join us for a free 1-hour Brown Bag Lunch and Panel Session with Human Resources Expert Shawnee Love and our panel of Entrepreneurs: Karen Bowen, ManagerKnowHow Karen Bowen owns ManagerKnowHow, a firm specializing in leadership curriculums and interventional organizational development services.
