Scrum Master Guild - Taking Pause: Your Self Care with guest host Christy Erbeck

We are very excited to announce our July Scrum Master Guild meet up!

Taking Pause: Your Self Care with Guest host Christy Erbeck

Description

Taking Pause: Your Self Care
As Scrum Masters, we are called to focus on the care and well-being of our teams, imploring team members to get some rest, take a break and create balance in their lives. We all know the agile principle of ‘Sustainable Pace’, and can see the tired eyes, slumped shoulders and disconnection in others as they burn the candle at both ends, and don’t live that principle.

When it comes to our own self care, however, we often ignore our body and mind’s signals that say it’s time to take a break and pause. Unfortunately, this disconnect from what we say to others and do for ourselves can create resentment, frustration and apathy, leading to burn out and other unhealthy behaviors.

During this session, we will explore the concept of self-integrity using 3 key components of self-care. We will give you time to explore the critical need for self-care and how to put into action these components to improve the relationship with your teams and yourself.

Give yourself the gift of this time to take a pause, and learn 3 essentials of self care.

‘I believe in going first, and modeling the way for those around me. Throughout my career I have dared greatly, knowing there is no courage without vulnerability, taking leaps of faith, calculated risks, and standing firm in my beliefs. As a result, I have fallen forward many times, and have learned and applied not only salient lessons, but also that I have the courage, fortitude and hope to always rise again.’ ~ Christy Erbeck
