In July, Ola Popoola shared tips and tools for personal well-being and personal growth during a time of uncertainty. Since then, many of our colleagues have continued to share their need for additional resources around managing self-care while balancing competing priorities and working remotely. In response, the Culture and Connectivity Initiative and Learning and Development team have partnered with Ola to present a three-part series on promoting self-care and mental and physical well-being. Join Ola as she guides us through how to best “put our oxygen masks on first” to better support our family, friends and co-workers through these unprecedented times.
