Dr. Christine Sopa

You are qualified. You are talented. You belong! Imposter syndrome erodes our confidence and flattens our self-esteem. In this keynote, Dr. Chris will teach you how to build your confidence, change your mindset, and go after the opportunities you deserve and are calling you

To change something, we must first be aware of it. Self-awareness is key to living a truly, authentic life. In this keynote, Dr. Chris uses tried-and-true methods from her years of research and working with people around the world to show you how to become more self-aware of your strengths, emotional reactions, and how to reflect on and learn from your experiences.

To-do lists are growing and the workplace is changing. These changes create pressure and stress that when left unchecked results in a burned out and unproductive workforce. In this keynote, Dr. Chris shares mindset methods, such as self-talk strategies, aligning priorities and activities, and present moment living (mindfulness) for managing stress and burnout.

Society is changing, so why doesn’t our leadership style? In this keynote, Dr. Chris flips the traditional leadership model on its head to expose the gaps of leaders today. Using tried-and-true methods from her experience as an executive coach and organizational consultant, Dr. Chris will show you how to celebrate individuality, work within strengths, and reinvigorate your team’s creative drive.

What motivates your team members? What are their unique talents? How do they behave when they are stressed? What exactly are their needs? In this unique workshop, Dr. Chris uses the information obtained from either the Birkman, EQi2.0, or Workplace Big 5 to walk teams through how to work together, thrive together, and have fun together on the job.

Being able to emotionally connect with those we lead has never been as important as it is now. During these uncertain times, being self-aware of our needs and the needs of those on our teams is a critical competency to strengthen. In this cutting-edge workshop, Dr. Chris discusses how leaders can use emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and empathy to strengthen their teams resolve and resilience.

Change can be scary and is often viewed through a negative lens. When something changes, we lose something and grieve for that loss. In this workshop, Dr. Chris discusses the positive aspects of change, navigating the unknowns as we grieve what we have lost, and implementing new habits of thought around change when it occurs.

Negotiating is about discussion, collaboration, and empathy. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Chris will discuss the mindset needed for a successful negotiation, how to negotiate from a place of mutual interests rather than power or position, how to identify and handle your negotiation triggers, and the role of emotional intelligence in negotiating.

Corporate culture can be a major asset or a damaging liability. In this comprehensive workshop, Dr. Chris will discuss why cultures go bad, the importance of psychological safety in an organization, and the 3 C’s of a healthy, vital culture: Communication, Compassion, and Change of Consciousness.

Our society has taught leaders how to lead in very specific ways. Leaders have been taught the “trade” of leadership by mentors, colleagues, old bosses, and by simply watching how others around them lead. Most of them lead with their head, their logic. They have taken courses on leadership, read books, and listened to podcasts all which tell them what a “good leader” is made of and what they do. Where do these leaders falter? Many of them are not letting their intuition guide them…their gut. Many have not even defined the type of leader they want to be. They are unaware of what kind of energy they are leaving behind when they interact with those around them. They are unaware of their leadership energy footprint. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Chris will show you how to tap into who you are being when you lead, how to become more self-aware as a leader, how to channel your energy so it is aligned with your highest priorities, how to balance your logic and intuition when making decisions, and how to define and become the leader you want to be.
