Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition 2024 takes a deep dive into the inner workings of exhibitions and events with six unique learning tracks from thought leaders such as Natasha “Coach Coco” Benitez, Executive Performance Coach and Burnout Prevention Specialist at Coach with Coco.

What are your wellness priorities at work, at home and out in the world? Her session, Mindfulness for Executives, Managers and Staff: The Curious Calendar Game, will examine this question with compassionate curiosity using insights from the calendars and/or photos in your phone!

Coach Coco will take attendees back in time, guiding them through an exploration of their wellness decisions to help them understand their daily choices, habits and routines. This session will offer clarity on emotional, social and workplace wellness priorities that empower participants to commit to positive changes.

Capitalizing on wellness research and engaging storytelling, this session delivers valuable strategies to prioritize wellness, so participants can choose behaviors that align with the happy, healthy and fulfilled human they aim to be.

Note- This is a private event for American University faculty.

American University faculty join Coach Coco for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion rooted in story-telling. AU faculty members will share their personal and professional stories, revealing how their real-world experiences help to enrich their teaching and inspire students. Together, we learn to:

• Weave personal passions into your lectures to create engaging and relevant content.

• Build authentic relationships with students by sharing your own experiences.

• Connect with other faculty to foster a collaborative and supportive community.

We discover how integrating our personal and professional life into your teaching can enhance student learning, create a more meaningful classroom experience, and inspire the next generation of thinkers.

MY WHY for hosting this event:

Going into 2022, my vision board was focused on finding true LOVE. Words, images and phrases I cut out were intended to keep love top of mind in 2022--and it worked! July 2022, I met someone special and today he and I are deeply in love, living together in a new home and building a loving life as a couple :)

Vision boarding is a powerful practice to stay focused and helps you take action to change your life. Please consider joining and thank you :)
