Mobius Restore Yourself™ Workshop

Course Overview

The results of great organizational strategies and tactics often remain unrealized because committed employees lack the energy to do what they know they should do, day in and day out. This Restore Yourself Workshop™ provides the tools to help everyone recognize exactly which circumstances, interactions, and tasks drain their energy—and, what to do to remedy their chronic depletion and become reinvigorated. Dr. Greenblatt explains in her compelling book, Restore Yourself: The Antidote to Professional Exhaustion, "Many people feel like unwilling participants trapped in a lose-lose game of overwork and fatigue. Some feel they've traded financial security and social comfort for chronic exhaustion. Others feel that they have unknowingly signed up to be a responsible, yet miserable worker- or manager-drone. There are also those who pretend that it is okay to exhaust yourself in the name of caring for others while ignoring the reality that if you collapse, everyone will lose."

This workshop uses the research-based framework called Personal Resource Management™ to help you develop customized, actionable solutions to increase your productivity, job satisfaction, morale and overall effectiveness. This workshop teaches leaders to manage in ways that help colleagues remain resilient through challenging times and under changing conditions. There may never have been a more important moment for businesses to invest in the vibrancy and adaptability of their leaders.

Throughout the workshop, Dr. Greenblatt and her colleagues expose the common misconceptions about our energy levels, including the myths of work-life balance and the strategic use of Personal Resource Management. In this workshop, we confront the flawed belief that we do not have time to get the rest and restoration we need without quitting our jobs, getting a divorce or moving to Costa Rica. Greenblatt helps participants diagnose precisely which work activities can be extremely energizing for them and the conditions under which non-work activities can be draining and definitely not restorative. At the end of this workshop you will know how to remain resilient in the face of common sneaky depleters, how to build strategic restoration into a work day, how to successfully diagnose and remedy resource losses as they occur. Each participant leaves with an action plan in hand to start making impactful changes immediately.

Praise for Restore Yourself, the book and the workshop

“...astonishingly timely, useful and important. Please attend this workshop before you die. It might add a few years to your life.”
Professor Warren Bennis

“A much-needed primer on living in the age of perpetual depletion. In today's environment, organizations, groups and teams feed off the individual like ant colonies live off the bodily resources of individual ants and the illusion that work happens only in the cognitive realm of the mind has become the unquestioned major premise. The worker's whole being - mind and body - need to be brought, together, to the light of consciousness. This is what Dr. Greenblatt accomplishes, with characteristic authenticity, wit and savoir-faire. Attend Restore Yourself to DO differently - and attend it to SEE differently.”
