    <div class="html-content">Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.<div>
    <br><p>Today's talk is <span><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/sakinah_hofler_how_creative_writing_can_help_you_through_life_s_hardest_moments?language=en" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">How creative writing can help you through life’s hardest moments</a> </span><span>by</span><span> </span><span>Sakinah Hofler. </span><span>Have you ever seen or experienced something and wished you spoke up? Writer Sakinah Hofler makes the case for writing as a tool to help you process difficult memories and reclaim the power they may hold. Pick up a pen or pull up a keyboard and follow along as she walks you through how to unburden your mind and inspire reflection.</span></p>
    <div><span>After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:</span></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li><span>What resonated for you in the video?</span></li>
    <li>What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?</li>
    <li><span> As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?</span></li>
    <li><span>What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.</span></li>
    <li>How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?</li>
    </ul>If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.</div>

<Tagline>5 ways to create stronger connections</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.<div>
    <br><p>Today's talk is <span><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_reffkin_5_ways_to_create_stronger_connections" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">5 ways to create stronger connections</a> </span><span>by </span><span>Robert Reffkin. </span><span>In a tech-obsessed culture, it can be difficult to build genuine relationships with people, especially in the workplace. Robert Reffkin shares his tips and tricks for establishing authentic connections on the job.</span></p>
    <div><span>After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:</span></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li><span>What resonated for you in the video?</span></li>
    <li>What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?</li>
    <li><span> As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?</span></li>
    <li><span>What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.</span></li>
    <li>How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?</li>
    </ul>If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.</div>

    <br><p>Today's talk is <span><a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/rahaf_harfoush_how_burnout_makes_us_less_creative" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">How burnout makes us less creative</a> </span><span>by </span><span>Rahaf Harfoush. </span><span>Our obsession with productivity -- to-do lists, life hacks, morning routines -- is making us less productive, says digital anthropologist Rahaf Harfoush. She explains why we need to redesign our workday around creativity -- not just efficiency.</span></p>
    <div><span>After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:</span></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li><span>What resonated for you in the video?</span></li>
    <li>What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?</li>
    <li><span> As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?</span></li>
    <li><span>What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.</span></li>
    <li>How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?</li>
    </ul>If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.</div>
