How To Thrive Not Just Survive

In life and in the activity profession, we are challenged daily as we put forth our best to do our best. For those individuals who accept the challenge to be a professional activity director, "How To Thrive..." was written for you. Many books tell how to provide for your residents and care for their well-being, but this book is for you and about you and your needs. You will discover that the residents' well-being really begins with your own, how to look and feel your best, how to dress professionally, how to run your department on a shoestring, how to organize your life, how to get the most out of activity conferences, how to make your life more manageable, how to handle stressful situations, and how to build a professional library. In addition, you will learn how to exceed your employer's expectations, find volunteers, and make your activity program shine out into the community.
