Together we will consider strategies for managing the stress of infertility care and treatment during this time of year. We’ll wrap up with a discussion about managing expectations and finding our healthy coping strategies.

Be your Child’s Calm Center or the Power of Playfulness

January 18, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

JoAnn Robinson,PhD

Challenges & Solutions

Overwhelmed with your child’s challenging behaviors? 

Hoping for more patience and struggling to stay calm? 

Think sometimes there must be a better way? 

You are not alone.

We are built to reflect each other’s emotions. When children display intense feelings and behaviors, our brains naturally reflect those. We start to feel stressed, angry, or overwhelmed just like our kids. Join us and learn practical tools to help you be a calm center for your family. 

Young children thrive in calm and playful families. Play is the best way to help your child learn and grow. It strengthens the parent-child connection, your child’s love of learning, and enthusiasm for life. Play builds social skills and improves cooperation. We’ll offer a hands-on opportunity to play with your children at this workshop, including individual coaching and discussion with our trainers.

Challenges & Solutions

Join us for this expert-led live class exclusively for Omnicom. A recording of the class with handouts will be available once the class is complete.

“Tiger parenting” is characterized by strict discipline and high expectations for academic success, commonly observed in Asian communities. However, this concept oversimplifies the complex nature of parenting practices in their unique cultural and family contexts. Gaining awareness about how our childhood experiences impact us as adults can free us up to live our lives with more ease and joy.

Even the most positive parents lose their way from time to time. The most amazing and challenging part of being a parent is that as soon as you think you have it figured out, your child goes and changes! This session will be a time to reflect on the big picture and assess what you want to keep about your parenting approaches and where you want to make some specific, positive changes.

Omnicom – Support LGBTQIA+ Kids and Emerging Professionals in Your Life – A Safe Space Conversation and Learning Experience

November 10, 2022 1:00 pm EDT

Expert

Acey Neel,MA, LPC

Challenges & Solutions

This exclusive class was hosted by the EPN and WPN on Omnicom’s platform. It was not recorded. You can access the handouts below.

OMG’s Emerging Professional Network and Working Parents Network hosted this conversation about the LGBTQIA community.

You don’t need to be an expert in all things LGBTQ to let your kids or colleagues know you care. A great place to start is learning how to be present and open. Just letting people know, “I’m here for you,” can go a long way.

This session will take you even further by providing terminology and subject matter that will help you understand and support members of the LGBTQIA+ community. You’ll have a chance to recognize how your actions and responses can help others and normalize a culture of acceptance and diversity. You will also have time to talk, listen to colleagues, and ask questions throughout the meeting.

Strategies for Prioritizing Health and Wellness In A Positive Way 

There can be a fine line between encouraging healthy habits in our children and creating negative thoughts on body image and self-perception. We want the best for our children, but often forget that they are watching how we treat ourselves and model their own behaviors after that.
