Beating Burnout
Burnout, a syndrome caused by excessive and prolonged stress, affects about two-thirds of full-time workers. With work-related stress on the rise, this presentation discusses how this medical condition is impacting employees health and provides tools to combat burnout in the workplace.

Managing Your Investments Amid Uncertainty
In this session, you will learn about the building blocks of investing, why inflation cannot be ignored, how risk and time horizons factor into your retirement planning, and how to adjust your strategy over time.

Eating right can be a challenge, especially for busy professionals. This presentation will teach you how to eat healthily throughout the entire day, no matter how hectic your schedule becomes! Tips on healthy meals and snacks will be included, as well as tricks to fit in during a busy day.
Fatigue - Is it Really Just Lack of Sleep?
Fatigue comes in many forms, both physical and emotional, and isn't always due to lack of sleep. This presentation demystifies fatigue and explains what happens to the body and mind when it sets in. It also explains lifestyle adjustments to help employees feel their best.
Session 3
Money Management Essentials
Saving for retirement can seem out of reach if your current financial footing is wobbly. This presentation gives you easy-to-follow strategies for improving your financial wellness by learning how to organize your savings to stay focused on your goals, where budgeting can be automated to help you stick to your plan and how to manage your credit and debt, to improve one and lower the other. With a strong financial foundation, you'll be on your way to the retirement you want!
Better Balance Better You
Work, family, friends, appointments, bills...there is so much in life that demands our attention! This presentation is geared towards helping you manage your time and achieve a greater balance for a less stressful, more productive, and more fulfilling life.
Understanding Stress
Does your family have the tools they need to address life's stressors? By being knowledgeable about self-care and mental health, you can help your family get on the path to wellness. During the training, participants will learn how to identify symptoms of stress in themselves and family members, manage stress as a family, respond when symptoms become "more than stress," and get help for themselves or a family member.
