Relaxation and resilience
at the staff ed retreat
Staff Education
recently held our
summer retreat at
the Martin Johnson
House at the
Scripps Institution
of Oceanography.
We invited Dr. Ken Nowack of Envisia Learning to lead a
discussion about being an effective employee through
successfully managing stress, developing resiliency, and getting
some much needed sleep. It was a great day to get away from
the office, walk down to the Shores, and take in some sun!
