THRIVE People Leaders Workshop Series: Caring for Ourselves

This session is part of the THRIVE: People Leaders Workshop Series.
This two-part virtual leadership series is designed to strengthen psychological health and safety capacity for tourism and hospitality leaders. You may attend one session or both.

Also in the series: Caring for Others – Strengthening Supportive Leadership Conversations

Overview

What happens to your leadership when caring for others consistently comes before caring for yourself? This 90-minute virtual session builds the self-awareness and personal capacity leaders need to remain steady, focused, and effective in demanding environments.

Participants will explore how stress shows up in leadership behaviour, learn how sustained pressure affects the body and brain, and examine what self-care actually looks like within real operational pressures, moving beyond generic advice to practical, sustainable habits that fit into daily routines.

Through guided reflection and practical exercises, leaders will identify patterns that drain or restore their capacity and develop realistic strategies to maintain resilience, clarity, and consistency in their leadership approach over time.

By the end of the session, participants will:

• Understand the role of self-care in sustaining effective leadership and daily performance.
• Recognize early warning signs of stress and burnout in themselves.
• Explore practical, realistic strategies to maintain energy, focus, and emotional regulation.
• Develop a personalized action plan to support ongoing well-being and leadership capacity.
