How To Thrive As An Extension Agent
How often do you feel overwhelmed by all that’s expected of you… and that you expect of yourself? There’s always a new program to create, a community member who wants too much of your time, or a volunteer to be trained. You spend your days trying to keep up, wishing there were more time to plan, build deeper connections with others, and maybe even carve out a little more time for your personal wellness.
In our opening keynote address, Jones Loflin will offer a five-step strategy you can you to move from surviving to thriving each day. You’ll learn how to create the boundaries that protect your schedule and identify the essential routines you need to have in place each day. Most importantly, you’ll discover fresh ways to work with others that improve their ability to help you get the right work done!
Learning Objectives
- Identify three sources of professional and/or personal overload
- Determine one new routine to add to their workday to increase their efficiency or effectiveness
- Create three healthy boundaries they can use to protect time on their calendar
