Event Details

At some point, most of us will experience some level of burnout. The resulting mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion can extinguish the joy from our work and personal interactions. As HR professionals, we are often called upon to address resulting performance issues or tasked with developing solutions to “fix” toxic work environments that lower employee engagement. At the same time, our own spark might secretly be smoldering.

In this session, we will pause to care for ourselves first and reflect on our personal experiences with burnout. Then we’ll consider how we can re-energize ourselves to shine brighter, so that we can reignite the sparks of others.

Presenting Reigniting the Spark is Amy Gross, PhD. Amy is a facilitator, story catcher, and story teller. After a career in leadership development, she was given the unexpected gift of a professional pause and practiced simply being and not constantly doing. She rediscovered her hidden dream of writing and her passion for guiding others to discover their own spark and to chase their dreams of “someday.” She selectively coaches individuals and teams on presentation and interpersonal skills, burnout recovery, and “dream catching.”

A Nebraska native, she earned her Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Kansas State University. She resides in Manhattan, Kansas and serves as a board member for the Beach Museum of Art and the Transformation Language Arts Network (TLAN). You can find her at somedaynow.substack.com.

Please join us as we take in the engaging presentation and learn to Reignite our Spark!
