What to expect at the 2nd Annual AOS Lucy Hobbs Project event
Mind+Body+Soul. Achieve Your Personal Best Balance, At Home & Work.
Celebrate Wellness Together With Your Entire Team.
Our 2022 event is the perfect for the entire team. Our thought leaders, panelists and networking event will focus on more than individual wellness. We’ll impart strategies for incorporating wellness concepts throughout your practice to build a happier, more productive and engaged team.
Panel Discussions:
– Love Your Body
In this new world we are living in, life seems to be busier and demand more energy. Just like the announcement that they make at the beginning of the flight, you can’t help anyone else (including your family) if we don’t put our oxygen on first. When the pressure’s on it’s easy to push our needs to the side and not “put our oxygen mask” on first. Our panel will help you learn to take better care of your body in many different ways including, nutrition, exercise, positive self talk and massage. You’ll take away valuable tips you can use as soon as you get home and back to the office.
– Healthy Me
Running a thriving, rewarding practice takes a team and means everyone making themselves a priority. You can’t fully show up for your team as an effective and inspiring leader if you’re not in peak mental, emotional and physical health. Our panel of experts includes women who live your challenges everyday: successful practitioners, specialists, hygienists, office managers and more. Because it’s not about living up to unrealistic goals, it’s about becoming the best YOU.
