How to Eat Lunch!
📅 Wednesday, January 21, 2026 | ⏰ 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET | 📍 Virtual
Featuring Box Lunch Lifestyle author, Cheryl K. Johnson
The CUPA-HR New Jersey Chapter is excited to invite you to our next Wisdom Wednesday workshop!
How do you eat your lunch? Do you power through work without noticing what you’ve eaten—or do you give yourself the gift of a walk, a yoga class, or a true break?
Join Cheryl K. Johnson for an interactive session inspired by her book Box Lunch Lifestyle: The Better Lunch, Better Life Book. Popular lifestyle trends don’t work for everyone—or something would have stuck by now, right? It’s time to say “Enough!” and start trusting yourself to build the kind of life you’ve always wanted.
Session Takeaway:
You get your job done—so there’s no reason you can’t take a break and do something meaningful for yourself. Eating better shouldn’t feel like punishment, and your lunch break can actually move you one step closer to the life you want to live.
Don’t miss this chance to gain simple, practical tips for making your lunch break matter!
Wisdom awaits! Grab your seat and connect with fellow HR professionals from the comfort of your home or office. If any of you have a specific topic that you would like us to explore, please feel free to email us here.
