Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC)’s Agents of Change keynote, Dr. Shimi Kang MD, FRCPC spoke to how diversity leads to adaptability, managing stress and prioritizing self care from a psychological perspective, discussing how stress impacts our health - as well as how relaxation, collaboration, and connecting with nature correlates to wellbeing. Growth in life happens in a state of relaxation rather than stress, knowing is not doing, she says, we need to practice downtime and bring play into our workplace. #agentsofchange #mentalhealth #selfcare
