ABOUT THE EVENT: Everywhere we look, it seems like large-scale corporate interests are encouraging people to “get back to normal” in the workplace. As if we didn’t spend the last five years realizing that nothing we did pre-pandemic was actually normal, or even especially productive or healthy.

This life of toxic productivity and worker exploitation can’t go on.

As values-based professionals, we look to the future and refuse to go back to toxic, outdated ways of working. So how do we ensure we’re not taking the toxic workplace with us? This workshop will address the issue of executive burn out, and give you techniques you can use for yourself, your teams, and your clients and customers.

Who should attend this class? Business owners or sole proprietors at all stages of operation.
