Noon-1 p.m. EST

We all have missed our colleagues and friends, and it sure is great to be back together. What would about your personal adjustment, energy and performance? Many of us are struggling with the return to the office, and developing a sustainable and healthy (and happy!) balance. It all starts with movement! 

We will touch on the cultural differences working at companies in the U.S. and Europe, importance of physical activity and nutrition for health and mental and emotional wellbeing, and the power of community. There will be practical tips for a healthier and happier life for all sides of the pond!
