In this PDW, we draw from current research on energy and thriving to learn how we can create energy and thriving in ourselves and in others in our academic careers. A primary goal of this PDW will be to enhance participants' awareness of how they can become a source of positive energy for themselves and others through the course of conducting academic work. The PDW will begin with a brief introduction to the concepts of human energy and thriving at work, followed by small group discussions in which participants reflect on and share when they have felt most energized about their academic work. Three leading scholars in related fields will then present their cutting- edge research on energy and thriving, generating a set of practical strategies to help participants find opportunities to make their daily academic work lives more sustainable and rewarding. Next, we will facilitate an action learning session, where participants will either actively try one strategy during the session, or devise a plan for how to do so in their day-to-day lives. Finally, participants will engage in a systematic discussion on how to become a positive source of energy for others. The PDW will conclude with a summative discussion of key learnings.
