SUMMARY:CESBC Interactive Webinar: Krazy Glue Messaging: Making Your Evaluation and Research Findings Stick
DESCRIPTION:CESBC Interactive Webinar: Krazy Glue Messaging: Making Your Evaluation and Research Findings Stick presented by Kylie Hutchison\nAs evaluators\, people need our evidence more than ever nowadays. But with so much going on\, they have even less bandwidth to absorb the results we give them. The solution? Sticky messaging! \nThe evaluation profession has wholeheartedly embraced smaller and more innovative forms of reporting over the years such as infographics and two-page briefs. However\, these shorter forms of communication require us to condense our extensive findings into much less content. We also need to identify and make our key messages “sticky” in order to ensure that busy decision-makers are able to understand\, recall\, and act on our key findings when the time comes. \nJoin us for a fun and interactive webinar looking at what makes a key message “sticky” and leave feeling inspired to try something new! \nRegister for the Webinar Here \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Cultivating Resilience and Flourishing - 3Rs for Burnout Prevention and Well-being
DESCRIPTION:Recent Canadian data shows that 44% of working Canadians feel constantly stressed\, and 1 in 4 families are severely stressed. This seminar hosted by Healthy Campus Alberta will present practical\, evidence-based strategies (the 3Rs) to mitigate the harmful effects of stress and burnout and enhance well-being in daily life. The 3Rs are based on over 20 years of evidence from Suzanne Tough\, PhD\, and other leaders in resilience research. These strategies empower individuals\, families\, and communities to build resilience through meaningful connections\, daily routines\, and local community-based resources\, creating a foundation for flourishing. This seminar will introduce the brain science of stress\, resilience and flourishing\, and the underlying physiological and psychological mechanisms for each 3R strategy. Attendees will have the opportunity to consider how to incorporate these strategies into their daily lives through group work and thought exercises.
