Leaders who build a support network and emphasize their own health and well-being are prepared to enjoy a higher level of success. However, leaders who set a frenetic pace, such as sending work emails throughout the weekend, hinder their ability to thrive — and model that behavior to those they supervise.

Join Kelly Bird, President of Making Space, LLC, and ISM Adjunct Faculty, to learn strategies for building your support network, ritualizing self-care, and becoming more mindful of how your emotions affect interactions with faculty and staff.
