Because of COVID, we are in a time of unprecedented ‘pause’ in nearly every area of what was previously considered normal life. This has created many challenges and also many opportunities to re-examine our priorities and choices. In this session, join Trish Walden to consider what matters most and how to regain a sense of joy and well-being, even in the midst of great change and challenge. Part of that process is discovering how to live our lives with little or no regret. In this Lunch and Learn, Trish will help us answer three key questions that support living a life of peace and optimal joy: What is regret, and is it possible to live without it? How does discovering our ‘north star’ contribute to living a life without regret? What can we learn from others who have come to the ends of their lives and expressed common themes of what they regretted most? Trish will share evidence-based practices and principles from her work in positive psychology and coaching to help you build a life without regret.
