David Zinger: "Engage – Contributions, Commitments, Connections and Conundrums"
This session will help us celebrate national public service week. It offers us a chance to examine our contributions, commitments, connections and conundrums at work. The approach to this 1.5 hour session will fuse invitation, stories, research, short activities, reflective assessment, and participant interaction to explore our personal and interpersonal world of work. David's workshops blend entertainment and interaction with research and practical tools for work. You will learn how to get more into your work to get more out of your work.
