A sense of affiliation and belonging is an essential human emotional need. By belonging to a group, we feel a part of something larger and more important than ourselves. This need for belonging is a reason why membership in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) has grown rapidly. When people have a sense of belonging, they feel included, leading to a more meaningful life.

Join this session to:

• Learn about what belonging means and why it is so important
• Gain strategies to cultivate a sense of belonging
• Understand what organizations can do to foster a culture of belonging

Guided imagery can also be used to visualize desired life outcomes, and to support healing from difficult experiences. The most important part of imaging is to use all of your sense when visualizing.
