SPEAKERS
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2022
AT 1PM EDT
Overcoming Overachieving was an event focused on the prevalence of overachieving amongst post-secondary students. Overachieving can be specifically detrimental as it can lead to procrastination and high burnout rates amongst students and professionals alike. Our three speakers shed light on what overachieving can look like, how it takes affect in our lives, and ultimately how to overcome it through self-compassion. The event was filled with interactive questions, a kahoot game, and of course an engaging Q&A/Panel Discussion!

Dr. Jade-Isis Lefebvre discussed:

Kasandra Skinner discussed:
