The Power of the Pen: Unleashing Workplace Wellness through Writing Workshops with Kim Anderson
Writing workshops are a very rewarding workplace wellness activity. Kim Anderson is the founder of The Unapologetic Pen and shares her passion for helping people process their thoughts and reduce stress through writing. In many workplaces, we are expected to drop our humanity at the door, and this can make for a very unnatural and stressful environment without the addition of activities that allow us to feel more human. Writing and sharing your thoughts can be a great team-building exercise that leads to increased emotional intelligence, better communication, and less stress. While writing, you receive similar benefits to meditation and have the time to process your thoughts and emotions, which helps us show up more authentically. Slow down, put a pen to some paper, and release your stress!
🧠 Kim does unapologetic writing workshops: writing whatever comes into your mind helps you listen to your brain. 02:01
✍️ Writing workshops are an alternative to meditation: writing in groups makes us more human and connected. 06:43
✅ Workshops in person are more vulnerable than virtual ones: virtual workshops help people compensate for micro-interactions that are missing in fully remote environments. 13:53
⭐ A healthy outlet for our emotions and the things on our mind makes us focus better on our work: when we get comfortable with ourselves and our thoughts on paper, it's easier to show up authentically. 18:16
💙 Developing emotional intelligence improves the whole team. 21:18
