KBIS Voices From The Industry & NKBA: Chapter Presentation Program

You Are Not Your Job!

Prevent Burn Out For Work/Life Balance

Now more than ever, your most important “product” is your creativity. Clients & employers expect innovative & creative solutions to their complex design problems & depend upon you to deliver results.

As you navigate your way through the uncertainties of the recent pandemic, it’s critical to be a good steward of your most precious resources: your time, creativity & energy. Learn how to cultivate inspiration & manage time wisely with a healthy work/life balance based on core values & a visionary outlook.

Without it, work stress quickly causes burn out & produces mediocre results, especially as many kitchen and bath professionals are working from home and struggling to maintain boundaries that are becoming increasingly blurred.

Remember, sustainable design is not just a trend in the built environment, but also a lifestyle that can maximize your talents & personal fulfillment through a renewable & inspired process.

Through interactive lecture, discussion, and personal worksheets (please print PDF handout at home)

we will:

• Discuss the direct correlation between sustainable design concepts, creativity & work/life balance.

• Identify & reclaim core values to properly apply time management tools.

• Clarify work/life boundaries.

• Create a personal benchmark & action plan for defining “success”
