"Announcing Conclave Keynote Speakers A dynamic duo: We are thrilled to announce our TWO opening keynote speakers for the MBA Conclave Curriculum & Teaching Conference: Ty J. Tonander, Partner/VP of Brand Design at Ultra Creative Ashley Junghans-Rutelonis, PhD, LP, PhD, founder of AJR & Co. Consulting & Bold Wellness.

Ty and Ashley are teaming up to help us better understand the post-pandemic workplace, its impact on our health and well-being, and innovative ways that smart leaders are responding. We are especially excited to learn how these changes translate to both the business world and the classroom."

We gathered to discuss how to keep psychology relevant during this pandemic-forced health-tech boom. I was honored to join Dr. Kavita Desai and Dr. Abby Hughes-Scalise to talk about "Taking the Pediatric Psychologist Out of The Hospital: Challenges and Opportunities to Stay Relevant."

 We discussed "Professional Cognitive Fatigue and Resiliency" as a group following a challenging 2 years of having to be flexible in service provision through COVID.  

I spoke about the importance of core values in our lives and how to discover them with Tara LaFon Gooch, MBA, CEO, speaker, author, & executive trainer. 

I spoke about women's mental health and the impact of healthcare policy on the Behavioral Health Integration podcast with Jacob Minnig, LADC. 

We spoke about gender norms, feminism, and toxic masculinity, as well and the impact of these cultural realities on mental health on the Behavioral Health Integration podcast with Jacob Minnig, LADC and Matthew Syzdek, PhD, MBA.

 I had a great time with Lyra Health, Jenson Reiser, PhD, and Angela Nelson, MS, BCBA discussing how the health of children during this back-to-school season impacts working parents.

Employers play an important role in supporting working parents and their family, especially during such major transitions. You can learn strategies for retention by making changes we proposed during this fireside chat.  Reach out to discuss it more. 

Join us as we discuss advancing health equity in interdisciplinary care of Sickle Cell Disease. Check out my talk and see the other incredible speakers in the Beyond the Classroom series.

I was thrilled to be to partner with the women of the Philanthropic Educational Organization. In our small group, in-person format, we practiced tangible steps to move us closer to self-compassion and resiliency.
