ABOUT PROGRAM

When: Thu., Jan. 27, 2021; 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Where: Virtual Webinar

For most of us, life can seem like a constant race, without having adequate time to reflect about the past and or setting goals for the future. In this engaging workshop, you will have an opportunity to press the “pause” button on life, even if it’s only for an hour. We can slow down long enough to evaluate how things have been going amidst all the chaos and transitions, to think about the future, and to live with intentionality toward our personal goals.

The unique aspect of this reflective workshop is that participants will walk away not only with a high-level plan for 2022 but also some practical tools on how to set goals that actually get realized. In this seminar, you will be exposed to a model of behavior change that is easy to understand and simple to implement.

His scholarly work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the USA Today.

Martin’s connection to the business, health care and start-up communities has been recognized.

This cross-campus initiative aims to reduce health disparities primarily on the West Side of Chicago.

As a licensed clinical health psychologist armed with a Master's in Public Health, Martin approaches his role as a business and entrepreneurial faculty member in a unique way.
