PowerHour 8: Having Your Own Back: Self-Compassion at Work

December 9, 2026 (3:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

Location: Virtual


These sessions are available exclusively to staff and faculty from Acadia University, Dalhousie University, Holland College, Memorial University, and St. Francis Xavier University.

This session focuses on building self-compassion, an essential skill for navigating stress, growing through mistakes, and overcoming feelings of shame. You’ll learn how to recognize shame signals and triggers, understand the difference between self-criticism and self-compassion, and practice tools to respond more kindly and humanely towards yourselves. By the end of the PowerHour, you will leave with concrete strategies to “have your own back” and strengthen resilience in everyday work and life situations.
