Women in Leadership Workshop Series
These workshops are for women by women on topics pertaining to women in sport leadership. Designed by CAAWS (the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity) and presented in BC by ProMOTION Plus, this workshop series blends theory with practical applications and provides an opportunity for women working, studying or volunteering in the sport community to share experiences, reflect on ideas and apply specific techniques. Group interaction and personal reflection are built into each module, providing for excellent networking opportunities among participants. The program is accessible to women throughout the sport and physical activity world, including athletes, administrators, coaches, staff, officials, students and volunteers.
Workshop Descriptions
Creating Work/Life Balance
Recent research in Canada documents how pervasive the “time crunch” has become for women. With changes such as downsizing and restructuring, and with the increased use of technology in the workplace, women are expected to do more work, more often. Creating work/life balance is about personal health, productivity, quality of life, etc. but at its core it is about two key everyday concepts: daily achievement and enjoyment. In this workshop we will identify the beliefs, myths and misconceptions that can interfere with creating work/life balance in our lives. We will strategize about how to organize our time, prioritize our tasks and make space to experience joy and pleasure everyday.
