        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. First, we will learn from leading scholars in the field of energy and thriving to generate a set of practical strategies to help participants find opportunities to make their daily work lives more sustainable and rewarding. Second, we will enhance participants' awareness of how they can become a source of positive energy for others through the course of 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 reputable scholars will then present their cutting-edge research on energy and thriving, followed by a systematic discussion on how participants can (1) enhance and generate energy, (2) prevent energy depletion, and (3) become a positive source of energy for others. The PDW will conclude with a summative discussion of key learnings.
