We are living in an unprecedented time. Anxiety, stress, and burnout are at an all-time high, and if we don’t take time to reset, the physical and psychological results can be catastrophic. More than training, education, or experience, it is resilience that determines our success personally and professionally. Fortunately, resilience is a set of skills and habits that can be learned and cultivated.

More and more organizations are turning to resilience training to help their employees manage stress, navigate change, and overcome obstacles and setbacks. Research has found that organizations that provide resilience training have employees who are more productive, more engaged, and higher performing as a result.

* Mindset: Understand your brain, habits, and belief systems that support and sabotage resilience.

* Skill Set: Learn to cultivate positive emotions, make stress work for you, and engage in activities that proactively build resilience.

Learning Objectives:
– Practice brain-based strategies to offset your negativity bias.

The ability to embrace uncertainty, navigate ambiguity, and use adversity as a tool for growth are the new leadership currency and the fastest path to resilience. Resilient leaders adapt to changing circumstances while encouraging others to do the same, and they have teams with higher productivity, engagement, and a greater sense of well-being as a result.

Resilient leaders personalize their approach, tapping into the unique strengths and motivators of team members. They cultivate emotional intelligence and strong relationships, and they facilitate learning and personal development through everyday experiences. More importantly, these exceptional leaders create a culture of psychological safety, the number one predictor of high-performing teams.

Learn to cultivate leadership habits that improve team well-being, productivity, and performance. Using the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, this session provides a road map to developing resilient leaders, teams, and organizations.

Learning Objectives:
– Create a culture of psychological safety
– Leverage emotional intelligence to build connection, credibility, and trust.
– Practice gratitude and mindfulness to build a resilient culture.
– Gain alignment on expectations and priorities.
– Foster a growth mindset culture.

Mindsets are a set of conscious or unconscious beliefs that affect how you think about yourself, how you behave, and how you relate to others. Your mindset impacts the way you view failure, navigate uncertainty, and manage set-backs. Fortunately, developing a growth mindset is a skill that can be cultivated.

Mindsets fall on a spectrum. Understanding what triggers you toward one end of the spectrum or the other allows you to consciously develop habits that turn adversity into opportunity and failure into learning. Fortunately, your mindset is nothing more than a belief system, and beliefs can be changed.

Learn to assess your current mindset, identify self-limiting beliefs, and adopt specific strategies to embrace a mindset that will change the way you work and live to achieve more than you ever thought possible.

Learning Objectives:
– Complete a mindset self-assessment
– Uncover self-limiting beliefs that may be sabotaging your success
– Define characteristics of fixed and growth mindsets
– Identify personal fixed mindset triggers
– Develop strategies to shift from a fixed to growth mindset

Leadership is the art of positively influencing the attitudes and behaviors of others, and it occurs at every level in an organization. Regardless of title, great leaders are emotionally intelligent, communicate effectively, and engender authenticity and trust.

Influential leaders are highly emotionally intelligent, communicate effectively, and engender authenticity and trust. Rather than a disposition or personality trait, leadership is a collection of skills that can be practiced and honed to harness individual strengths, tap into the motivators of others, and positively influence behavior.

Using the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, you will learn how to tap into the power of your brain to make emotional connections

learn actionable strategies to build self-awareness and emotional intelligence, improve communication and influence, and tap into the strengths and motivators of others.

Rather than react to problems, great leaders develop strategies to proactively minimize them.

While workload, deadlines and shifting priorities are stressful, it is our relationships with others that cause most workplace challenges. Conflict can easily turn into combat, and we often communicate to be right, rather than get it right. Building the skills and habits that promote effective communication and collaboration is what separates good leaders from great ones.

Learning Objectives:
– Build connection, authenticity, and trust with emotional intelligence.
– Assess, identify and modify communication style for maximum effectiveness.
– Tap into individual motivators and strengths.
– Learn brain-based influence strategies.
– Create a collaborative environment that drives results.

Beat burnout, create clear boundaries, and make stress work for you.
In a time when every priority claims itself as the most urgent, your ability to balance it all is more important than ever.

Information overload, constantly changing technology, and increasing demands to do more with less require us to work differently, more intelligently, and more efficiently. And that was before a global pandemic!

Our personal and professional lives have blurred together to the point where it feels like we are no longer working from home. We are living at work. We have lost the ability to disconnect, and according to a recent Gallup study, over two thirds of full-time workers feel burned out and exhausted because of it.

This session dispels the myth of work life balance and instead helps you to define success and focus on what’s most important. Learn to proactively manage your stress response, identify high-payoff activities, and develop habits that will help you improve focus, energy, and attention.

Learning Objectives:
– Break out of reactivity to think strategically.
– Identify personal and professional high-payoff activities.
– Develop an integrated personal and professional goal setting model.
– Create strategies to minimize interruptions, fires, and emergencies.
– Cultivate mindfulness as a productivity tool.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) or Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the ability to recognize, understand and manage your own emotions, identify the emotions of others, and use that information to guide how you think and behave.

EQ is comprised of skills that give you the ability to harness the power of your emotions to navigate change and uncertainty, strengthen relationships, and positively influence the people around you. Emotional intelligence is the single biggest predictor of success in the workplace, and the strongest driver of leadership and personal success.

While IQ may get you hired, EQ is what will determine your performance, engagement, and success. Learn the critical skills needed to accelerate your emotional intelligence to maximize your performance and potential.

Learning Objectives:
– Assess your current levels of EQ
– Understand the role of emotions in your personal and professional success.
– Practice science-based strategies to regulate and manage emotions.
– Build self-awareness and uncover blind spots.
– Utilize mindfulness to build EQ
