Daring to Thrive: Soft Skills for a Flourishing Human Future
We are excited to launch a new era of Daring to Thrive designed to reclaim our humanity.

With AI bringing rapid changes to how we live and work as well as a culture shift toward more dehumanization and fragmented connections, our ability to thrive depends on something timeless: reconnecting with what makes us fully human. 

This year’s series offers a fresh lineup of monthly online workshops, in-person gatherings, and opportunities for connection designed to equip you with the soft skills necessary for our personal and communal flourishing.   

In Daring to Thrive, we believe that personal and communal well-being go hand-in-hand, and that everyone is a leader—because each of us shapes the culture around us. These offerings are a chance to gather, practice, learn, grow, and bring what we learn back into our departments, homes, and communities.

GUWellness partners with mindfulness expert, leadership coach, and licensed psychotherapist Lisa McCrohan to help us cultivate the grounded wisdom, adaptability, and meaningful connection needed to navigate change with confidence and care. Whether you’re leading a team, a household, or simply inspired to nurture a culture of wellness in your corner of the world, you will benefit.

Daring to Thrive includes:

  • Monthly group Zoom workshops (September – May)
  • 3 in-person group events
  • 1-1 coaching conversations

Daring to Thrive is an innovative wellness and leadership programming experience for faculty and staff within the Georgetown University community. It emphasizes that everyone is a leader and has the potential to impact culture, both at the University and in the greater community. It is designed to augment the University’s efforts and commitment to deepening its culture of wellness across the University.  It equips faculty and staff with an experiential and learning environment to build their knowledge base, leadership presence, and mindset to enhance the culture of wellness with their colleagues, their teams, and our society. This program stresses that personal wellness and community wellness go hand-in-hand and are both necessary for the evolution of our workplaces, community, and world.   

This program is strengths-based, value-driven, and purpose-focused.  In a safe, mindful, and supportive learning environment, faculty and staff have the opportunity to thrive through:

  • learning science-backed wellness practices that benefit individuals, teams, and communities
  • enhancing leadership skills
  • fostering a mindset for growth, creativity, and potential
  • deepening their emotional intelligence and communication skills
  • having effective conversations to enhance and deepen the culture of wellness within the workplace and community

Daring to Thrive utilizes the best practices in workplace wellness, mindfulness, leadership, neuroscience, somatics, compassion, and communication to support faculty and staff in elevating their own well-being, the culture of well-being on our campus, and the well-being in our communities.

Every workshop will include a wellness + leadership theme, practical learning, strategic practices, gathering with colleagues, and a resource for you to bring back to your people (team, family, church, community) to support your wellness and the culture of wellness.
