Words Matter: How What You Say (And Don’t Say) Influences Wellness 
Manya Chylinski

Difficult life experiences can create stress and trauma, which can make it harder for people to feel engaged with life and work, and can cause them to disconnect, isolate themselves, or feel invisible. As leaders, and as humans, how we talk about stress, trauma, and mental health matters—in helping individuals contextualize their own experiences and then begin to heal. Manya will share how we all benefit when we aren’t afraid to have difficult and nuanced conversations, and discusses the role of communication in aiding recovery and wellness.
