Seminar - Dream Big with Kaiser Permanente's Kevin Pham

Dear OCEA Member,

This Week's Tips from Kevin Pham
"I look at life as a big canvas that is blank and extends as far as the eye can see," says Kevin. "It doesn't matter what you paint or what the colors are. What matters most is that you engage in your life and add color every moment." Below are some tips from Kevin to help make your dream a reality:

• The first thing you want to do in dreaming big is to find something that matters to you. It could be running a 5k, learning how to dance, or even learning a new language;
• Make sure your goal or dream is obtainable. We risk burnout and disappointment if our goals are unrealistic; and,
• Enjoy the process. It's alright to set a goal and accomplish what you love, but if that's the onlyreason you are doing it, then you miss out on the journey. 

We hope you enjoyed "Mindful Minute" with Kevin Pham. Prior to the pandemic, OCEA's “Members Only” seminars were held at OCEA Headquarters or at various work locations. With the increase in COVID-19 vaccination rates, we look forward to holding these seminars in person soon. Until then, we remain committed to standing together with each of you in our union. We are OCEA strong!

In Solidarity,
