EASFAA LEADS Presents: The Power of NoApril 23, 2024 @ 2 PM ESTNo. Just one little word (a complete sentence) can be empowering, freeing, and life-changing. It's not about saying no to everything, just saying no to the right things. It often takes courage to say no, which can be challenging for people to hear. But setting limits sets us free. Saying no opens more chances to say yes to the right things. Come join this empowering workshop and learn how to give yourself permission to say, ‘No’ and set boundaries without feeling guilty, mean, or selfish. Through practical guidance and the use of a simple word, begin to take back your power, regain your time, and bring more joy and fulfillment to your yeses in life. Presenter: Diane Frankel-Gramelis, MS, Wellness Counselor (non-clinical), has built her career as a health educator with students and patients. She has continued her lifelong learning through certifications as a Childbirth Educator/Doula (CCE), Integrative Health Coach (IHC), Patient Navigator (PN), and Certified Community Herbalist (CCH). She is passionate about creating meaningful personal connections with not only her students but with community partners. This approach provides both practice-based learning opportunities for MPH students and serves to improve health outcomes locally. Her guiding philosophy summed up: “A learner/mentor relationship begins at birth and continues throughout a lifetime, roles consistently changing from former to latter and vice versa. Above all, we have a responsibility to honor students and the community through positive modeling. I believe this to be especially true as a public health professional. Action speaks louder than words, and who you are speaks louder than what you say”. RegisterCFAA WorkshopApril 26, 2024 from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
