    Presented by Dr. Thomas Dickson of Beech Dickson Consulting, this session is designed specifically to support higher education personnel.

    Dr. Dickson will facilitate an immersive workshop that helps address burnout while utilizing the LEGO® Serious Play® method. This approach is heavily hands-on, requiring participants to build physical models out of bricks -- models that represent their stressors and work environment. After each build, everyone will share-out the meaning of their builds to their group tables.

    The session will address the top burnout factors, which are environmental in nature. We will review how to audit stressors in the workplace and implement impactful changes beyond just individual self-care.

    Don’t let stress and workload challenges take a toll on you and your team – join us for a fun, unique learning experience that will open your mind to other avenues for managing job fatigue and emotional drain.
