FROM KNOWING TO DOING

Bridging Personal Wellness and Professionals Performance by Developing Skills We were Never Taught

Cher will explore how social-emotional intelligence (SEQ) is the often-overlooked key to connecting personal well-being with professional success.

We all know the pieces of wellness - quality sleep, nutritious food, regular movement, healthy relationships and a positive work culture. But putting those pieces together and sustaining them amid the pressures of work and life, often feels out of reach. Why? Because knowing what we need to thrive is only part of the equation. The real challenge lies in building the skills to consistently apply that knowledge - especially when things get hard.

Using evidence-based tools and strategies, Cher will guide the audience beyond surface-level “aha” moments (knowledge) into grounded, sustainable action (wisdom). These tools empower individuals to navigate stress, communicate more effectively and lead with greater clarity, confidence and resilience.
