Take a Resilient Holiday
Whether or not you feel tired, it is critical to regularly take holidays and deeply recharge your batteries. It is scientifically established that taking vacations reduces the incidence of burnout. It also is the opportunity to reconnect with our friends, appreciate...
Activate the Power to Care
This week, I activate my Power to Care and I support someone around me. As easy as a ‘’thank you’’, as light as a smile, as simple as ‘’doing ok?”, care is a choice and power is the base. In a virtuous cycle, this action enables the release of oxytocin, bringing me...
