SENIOR LIVING POWER: ENERGIZE AND SERVE WITH JOY WITH KATHY PARRY
TUESDAY, MAY 16 | 3:00 – 5:15 PM
Caring for others is at the core of what senior living professionals do. But with
increased regulations, changing insurance dynamics and workforce shortages, how do professionals Power UP, stay energized and care at the highest level? In this session, Kathy Parry walks participants through a circuit of power. First participants will acknowledge and examine how organizational and personal energy have been drained over the last couple of years. After understanding how teams can burn out, Kathy gives clear tactics to re-energize. Identifying outdated systems and processes is part of the circuit that participants will inspect. Participants then examine the batteries that power organizations and how those sources increase retention, quality resident care and personal productivity. Developing the right power source for your team is critical to Power UP. And with some re-wiring, Kathy will have you ready to flip on the switch for your own Power UP initiatives.Attendees have the opportunity to receive a free book from author and facilitator, Kathy Parry, who is back by popular demand after her inspiring keynote at the 2022 conference! 50 books are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
