meetings. This interactive session opens up a conversation about the neuroscience and practical
reality behind why strategic breaks and stepping away from work actually improve creative
output and problem solving. Through facilitated discussion, we'll examine the relationship
between rest, creative resilience, and sustainable productivity in an industry that often glorifies
overwork.

creative problems when you're not actively working

sacrificing professionalism
• Techniques for recognizing creative burnout signals and methods for resetting your creative
energy when feeling stuck
