11:30 am – 12:30 pm	How to Bust Burnout and Harness the Grit of Superheroes – Keynote Address Dr. Mabel Hsin Ever notice how in Marvel movies, our superheroes like Thor, Wonder Women, and Spiderman seem to have the ability to bounce back from all sorts of setbacks? Wouldn’t you want to learn how to tap into that superpower of resiliency, so you can bounce back from all the frustrations that accumulate as a condo/strata property manager or board director, as well as in your personal lives? Happiness and resilience are skills. Just like any skill, they can be developed. Drawing data from neuroscience, psychology, and medicine, you will learn about how to bust burnout by changing your physiology. You will learn how to launch proven strategies which you can apply immediately that will help you build resilience, so you can bounce back from the emotional exhaustion that come from your role as leaders. These strategies not only have demonstrated anti-aging effects, but they also improve our immune system, health, and increase our happiness. Sponsored by:

While some of us can't wait to see the back end of Zoom meetings, others love the freedom of online meetings. While we have seen an increase in involvement by certain members of our condominium communities such as the non resident owner and benefits of decrease professional fees as meetings tend to be shorter and there is no travel time, the question everyone is asking is what is next. Can you can balance the needs of those who prefer to interact in person with those who prefer to interact virtually while still ensuring productive, interactive and effective meetings. Join our panelists as they discuss the pros and cons of a hybrid meeting from a legal and technical perspective. Sponsored by:
