A Look from Within

Let’s shake things up! Join Dr. Eivina Muniute-Cobb for an interactive session packed with thought-provoking exercises designed to stretch your mind and deepen your self-awareness. Together, we’ll explore creative ways to bring these activities into different topics and tailor them for diverse audiences. Get ready to reflect, connect, and expand your facilitator toolbox!

The SET Principle: Managing Emotions in the Workplace
