Why do some tasks drain us while others energize us—even when both are hard?
The answer lies in authentic motivation: when our actions align with our core values, effort feels meaningful and sustainable. This workshop will help you uncover those values and use them as a compass for living and leading with purpose.
What You’ll Learn
How to identify your core values and use them as a source of motivation.
Why goals based on social norms or shame (like “New Year’s resolutions”) often fail—and what works instead.
The science behind self-compassion and its role in resilience and authenticity.
Practical strategies to stay aligned with your values—even when tasks don’t naturally fit.
How to recognize and overcome collective illusions that pull you away from what matters most.
Why This Matters
Motivation rooted in core values is clean fuel—it energizes rather than exhausts. Research shows that value alignment boosts resilience, reduces burnout, and fosters authentic living. When you act from what truly matters to you, challenges become opportunities for growth.
Who Should Join?
Healthcare professionals, educators, leaders, and anyone seeking greater purpose, energy, and authenticity in their work and life.

Your Teachers
Dr. Skye McKennon, PharmD, BCPS, ACSM-GEI is a nationally recognized educator, pharmacist, and wellbeing ambassador dedicated to transforming healthcare through compassion. As Associate Professor and Thread Director of Pharmacology and Interprofessional Education at Washington State University’s Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, she leads innovative curriculum design that integrates wellbeing, emotional resilience, and team-based care. Dr. McKennon is a certified Mindful Self-Compassion teacher, trained by co-founders Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff, and co-author of the first scoping review on wellbeing interventions for rural healthcare professionals and trainees. With over a decade of experience and a passion for empowering healthcare professionals, she has delivered impactful presentations to regional, national, and international audiences, equipping them with evidence-based tools to thrive personally and professionally.
Sini Ramo (she/her) is a Yoga Alliance-certified yoga teacher (RYT-500), meditation and mindfulness teacher, solution-focused life coach (LCAF Finland), and a Teacher-in-Training through the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC). She is also a Gender and Inclusion Specialist with over 15 years of experience working in humanitarian and development contexts across crisis settings around the world.
Through her work in these high-pressure environments, Sini has gained a deep understanding of stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue — and how easily even the most dedicated professionals can lose connection to their own wellbeing while caring for others. This experience has shaped her approach to teaching: grounded in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and compassionate presence. Sini’s mission is to create safe, supportive spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and develop the resilience that comes from genuine self-compassion.
