June 27, 2022 | ARCS NewsARCS Summer Webinar Series: Self-Care and Self-Advocacy for Museum Professionals
The ARCS Education Programming Sub-Committee is hosting a well-being webinar series aimed at developing skills in self-care and self-advocacy for museum professionals. The 2-part series will include:
Part 1: Put On Your Oxygen Mask First: Prioritizing Self-Care for Arts and Museum Professionals
Speaker: Dorothée King
Date: July 13th, 2022
Time: 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
This webinar with Dorothée King is for everyone who works and leads in a museum or arts environment and will focus on the well-being of staff in the arts/museum field. This session will include short exercises designed to identify stressors, develop skills in self-care, setting limits/boundaries, and making everyday decisions that will contribute to greater fulfillment, and possibly result in less burn-out or bore-out at the workplace. King will show how individuals, when daring to step out of “giving paths,” not only develop personally, but will also bring their open-mindedness to their teams and workplace.
Part 2 (Re)Discovering and Advocating for Yourself
Speaker: Greg Stevens
Date: July 14th, 2022
Time: 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
In the midst of being overworked or overwhelmed, juggling too many tasks and not enough hours, we don't often take time to reflect on ourselves, what we bring to our work, and how to be our own best advocates. If you are looking for a job, just getting started in the field, striving to succeed at work, or dealing with a career transition, this practical session will help you build clarity and confidence as you (re)discover your strengths, passions, and values, and communicate them to the world!
*Registration is limited to 100 participants
