As we know, winter weather in Iowa can be unpredictable so if we have an unseasonably warm day and anyone feels like a group walk, send out a Campus Connection note in Adventure2 and see if your colleagues are up for an impromptu walk around campus! You can also check out our newest program, Strolls for Well-Being at ISU, for other ideas on combining walking and mindfulness.
Upcoming Events:
Friday February 25: Employee & Family Resources EAP Emotional Intelligence Webinar Series: Empathy in Adversity | 9:00 am - 11:00 am
In a world often challenged by divisiveness and rigid opinions about right and wrong, one of the most important skills we have is to empathically listen to others in order to understand their perspective. When we take the time to truly listen and put ourselves in another’s person's life experience, we can transform relationships and transform ourselves. This workshop will help you explore and understand what feelings and experiences may lie under the surface for yourself and others that give rise to statements and actions we see in everyday life. You will also learn a simple (but not always easy) method of empathic listening that you can put into practice immediately to help you let go of assumptions and tune in to others experiences to enhance your relationships.

You will leave this session with clearer motivation, realistic goals, and a plan to move forward. Some ideas will not be new to you, but you will put them into a new savings plan to help you make real progress. For more information and to register, click here
