Motivation: A Funny Thing
with Tim Clue
Residents have struggles that are unique to their circumstances. Many suffer from isolation, or are afraid of being judged because of their situations, including poverty, low education, or poor health. Connection, transparency, and trust are a new currency that can help you encourage this population to become active and involved in today’s culture. Tim’s reinvention of motivation as trust and connection is the game changer that inspires teamwork, engagement and collaboration both with your residents as well as with colleagues. His drive to connect the disconnected will reveal how finding the comfort in discomfort is the catalyst for all growth and change. Attendees will find Tim’s hilarious and dynamic approach reflective of the highly demanding and fast-paced world in which we now work and live.

Self-Care: Renewing the Joy in Our Work
with Donna McCarten White
Providers often have limited knowledge of the impact of compassion fatigue and lack skills needed to foster self-care practices. This presentation is designed to explore the concept of compassion stress and moral residue. The goal is to equip those who provide care to others in any realm , with the knowledge and skill needed to identify their experiences and create prevention and personal intervention plans. The result is to renew a sense of wellness and restorative wholeness in their professional work and life systems.
Topics will include:
What is Compassion Fatigue and Moral Injury?
What are the causes of both?
What is the personal burden of Compassion Fatigue and Moral Residue?

The Owumi Legacy: Living an Inspired Life presents
Keepers of the Flame
with Judge Milton Wright
Sponsored by
Claudia L. Owumi in memory of her husband, Chief (Dr.) Joseph A. Owumi, Sr.
Lighting the Flame - a lifetime journey begins with one step.
The Flame enlightens, gives warmth and shows the way. Your work as a Resident Service Coordinator helps residents discover and follow a clear path to a healthy life, healthy family and healthy community.
The Flame must constantly be rejuvenated and your commitment of service to the underserved, provides sympathetic guidance requiring them to renew their inner flame.
The Flame is impartial. It lights and burns the same for everyone. Similarly, as judges must be impartial, RSCs must treat everyone with dignity, respect and should expect the same in return.
The Flame can burn you. The RSC role is not that different from a judge in that boundaries have to be set, and relevant consequences applied when boundaries are crossed. Boundary setting is not only beneficial to the people that you serve, but it is also important to your own health and well-being as servants.
The Flame is your legacy. Long after the politicians have stopped politicking. Long after the judges, like myself have retired and moved on to obscurity, your clients will remember what you did for them when they didn't know what to do, when you were the flame to light their path.
