Rather than simply returning to the same journey, perhaps its time to set out on a new path that’s better than before: one in which you’re clear on your purpose and values, making choices that are aligned with what’s most important and creating the conditions for your team and your family to do the same.

This summer we are continuing our encouragement for you to break from the work you are doing and go on a one-mile walk with us every Friday. There are lots of ways to connect during this time and we have listed a few below for you to try:
Call a colleague, family member, or friend and talk on the phone while you walk
Encourage those in your place of residence to walk with you – kids, spouse, etc.
Take your pet on a walk – good for you, good for them
Go it alone and enjoy the quiet and peace of the day away from everyone else
Or, join the ISU WellBeing team via Webex every Friday!
